2023 Chrysler 300: A Bold Farewell to an American Classic

First debuting in 2005, it redefined what a modern American sedan could look and feel like—with its bold styling, spacious interior, and a lineup of powerful engines. Now, in 2023, Chrysler is bidding farewell to this iconic model. The final edition of the Chrysler 300 isn't just another yearly update—it's a celebration of everything the model has stood for over nearly 20 years. 

Exterior Design

Unlike many modern sedans that favor smooth curves and subtle lines, the 300 embraces a more imposing stance, giving it a timeless and commanding presence on the road.  For those opting for the 300C Final Edition, black chrome accents, unique badging, and special trim details set it apart from the rest of the lineup. 

Interior and Comfort

Step inside the 2023 Chrysler 300, and you’re immediately greeted by a cabin that balances old-school luxury with modern convenience. True to its full-size sedan status, the 300 offers a spacious and airy interior, with generous legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers. Whether you’re driving or riding in the back seat, the 300 feels more like a personal lounge than a traditional sedan.

The materials used throughout the cabin speak to Chrysler's focus on comfort and quality. Soft-touch surfaces, available leather-trimmed seating, and tasteful chrome or woodgrain accents add a sense of refinement. Physical knobs for volume and tuning are a thoughtful touch for drivers who appreciate tactile controls over touch-only interfaces.

For audiophiles, the available 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system delivers concert-like sound quality, perfectly complementing the serene atmosphere of the interior.  It’s quiet, comfortable, and classy—built for long drives, smooth cruising, and turning every trip into a relaxed experience.

Performance Options

When it comes to performance, the 2023 Chrysler 300 delivers exactly what you’d expect from a car with such a bold presence—power, smoothness, and just the right amount of attitude.  At the base level, the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine produces 292 horsepower (300 hp in the 300S trim) and offers a smooth, refined drive. It’s paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that delivers quick shifts and solid fuel efficiency for a car of its size. This setup is ideal for drivers who want comfort and capability without sacrificing daily drivability.

 The 300S also gets a sport-tuned suspension for tighter handling, making it a more dynamic drive than the V6 models.  But the real showstopper in 2023 is the limited-edition 300C, bringing back the legendary 6.4-liter HEMI V8—an engine usually reserved for Dodge’s performance lineup. With 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque, the 300C rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds, making it the most powerful Chrysler 300 ever produced.

Technology and Safety Features

At the heart of the interior tech is the Uconnect 4C infotainment system, displayed on a crisp 8.4-inch touchscreen.  It comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing seamless smartphone integration for music, navigation, and messaging. Drivers also benefit from Bluetooth connectivity, voice command support, SiriusXM satellite radio, and optional integrated navigation with real-time traffic updates.

When it comes to safety, the 2023 Chrysler 300 comes equipped with a suite of driver-assistance technologies that add peace of mind without overwhelming the driver. Standard and available features include:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control – Maintains a set speed and following distance, even in stop-and-go traffic.

  • Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking – Warns of potential frontal impacts and can apply the brakes if necessary.

Other helpful features include a rearview camera, rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic high-beam headlights, and a tire pressure monitoring system.

Chrysler clearly didn’t cut corners when it came to safety and tech. Whether you're focused on entertainment, connectivity, or driver assistance, the 2023 Chrysler 300 ensures a high level of convenience and security that matches its luxurious and powerful personality.


Special Edition: The 2023 Chrysler 300C

As Chrysler prepares to close the curtain on the 300 nameplate, it’s doing so with a powerful encore—the return of the 300C. This limited-edition model is a celebration of the Chrysler 300’s legacy, blending raw performance with premium styling in a way that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

But performance is only part of the story.  The exterior features blacked-out trim, black chrome accents, unique tri-color 300C badging, and model-specific 20-inch forged wheels that give it a menacing yet sophisticated look. A performance-tuned active exhaust system lets the engine breathe—and roar—with authority.

Inside, the 300C offers a refined and focused driver environment. Real carbon fiber and piano black trim add a sporty edge, while the 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system ensures the cabin experience is just as intense as what’s happening under the hood.

The 2023 Chrysler 300C is more than a final edition—it’s a tribute. It honors the 300’s muscle car heritage and its place in American automotive culture, while reminding us that full-size sedans still have a place in the world when done right. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this is the Chrysler 300 at its peak.
