2022 Detroit Auto Show: 2023 Chrysler 300C | Daily Drive | Consumer Guide® The Daily Drive
With its bold and square styling and available V8 power, the 300 is a bold rival to the sleek Concord it replaced in Chrysler showrooms in 2005. Gone is the “Concord’s”taxi forward”, replaced by a long hood and the 300’s huge, powerful grille.
After nearly two decades, Chrysler said goodbye to the 300, but not without a ride to match. For 2023, the sedan’s final year, the limited edition high-performance 300C will be offered, but only by special order.
Only 2200 300Cs will be built, with 2000 for US customers, the rest for our friends in the North. The 300C will feature line-specific engines, sport suspension, Brembo performance brakes, an upgraded audio system, and unique exterior and cabin designs.
A 485-horsepower “Hemi” 6.4-liter V8 mated to an eight-speed “TorqueFlite” automatic transmission will propel the 300C to 60 mph from a stop in 4.3 seconds.
As a single-price model, the 300C comes fully loaded for $55,000, not including the $1595 delivery fee. To order a 300C machine, customers need to access booking.chrysler.comRegister and choose paint color.
As for the final model of the year, the 300 will also be available in 300 Touring, 300 Touring L and 300S trim levels. Returning to those models are the 3.6-liter V6 and 5.7-liter V8, the former of which can be combined with AWD.
CG says:
We’re sad to see the 300 disappear, but the full-size sedan has long evolved and is languishing in a nearly non-existent product category. The real news here is that the Chrysler brand will be relegated to a single model, the Pacifica pickup truck, after 2023 – or will it? We expect to hear news of a new Chrysler product, possibly an all-electric crossover, in the near future. Keep stable.
