The 2015 Chrysler 300 may just be one of the last truly classically American styled large family sedans.
Big, bold and in your face are just some of the ways that the original 2005 Chrysler 300 might be described.
But is this true for the newly refreshed 2015 Chrysler 300?
Let’s just get this out in the open right away. The 2015 Chrysler 300’s sheet metal remains unchanged from the last generation but that doesn’t mean the car hasn’t been given new car bling like lights, front fascia, and interior fashion makeover to step it up a notch.
On the inside new for 2015 is now a standard seven-inch display in the massive gauge cluster, the latest and greatest UConnect infotainment system which is colorful, easy to use, and in TFL’s opinion one of the best in the car biz.
On the outside the 2015 Chrysler 300 gets a slight (but visually significant) new headlight cluster and new front fascia that makes the 2015 Chrysler 300 look both more elegant and more muscular at the same time.
Under the hood the 3.6-liter V6 Pentastar and 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engines remain the same, but now the car comes standard with Chrysler’s eight-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission. In the past the six-speed was the norm. Inside potential 2015 Chrysler 300 buyers will now find the new hockey puck gear selector which replaces the outgoing recalcitrant electronic gearshift lever.
The base price of the 2015 Chrysler 300 will start at $31,395, which is the same as the 2014 model. However for those buyers with a fat wallet, Chrysler has added a range topping 300C Platinum model. The new 300C Platinum model includes hand-sanded wood and Poltrona Frau leather atop the dashboard.
If you are looking for the super high performance SRT model, or the V8 HEMI AWD model, you better rush to your local Chrysler dealership now because they are being discontinued for 2015 due to slow sales.
