Interior
The entry-level offering of the 2021 Chrysler 300 is the Touring. It comes with some amenities and cloth seats. The fancier 300s and the Touring L models give a lot more features. This includes illuminated rear and front cupholders, leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-zone auto climate control, adjustable lumbar support, and power-adjustable front seats. The 2021 Chrysler 300 features optional selections on all models except the base model in the form of a power-adjustable steering wheel, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, and ventilated and heated front seats. The 2021 Chrysler 300 has soft-touch rubberized plastic with a leather-grain pattern to cover the upper door panels and the dashboard of every 2021 Chrysler 300. The texture feels good to the touch but looks a little artificial. The interior design also looks outdated and not very graceful. Some of the rival cars in the segment are much better in this regard.
The 2021 Chrysler 300, like other vehicles in this class, manages to fit more than five carry-on suitcases inside the trunk. After folding the rear seats, it allowed another nine. The seats can be split, but they do not fold flat completely.
Utility
The 2021 Chrysler 300 is very solidly created. The 2021 Chrysler 300 has paid great attention to the finish and fit of the car. The quality of the materials is also very good. But the cost of the 2021 Chrysler 300 can be pretty high for the top tiers. This is especially if you get the top engine and some optional features. At that point, buyers may think of purchasing a luxury-branded sedan instead. The warranty of the brand is also average.
Technological Changes
The factory navigation system of the 2021 Chrysler 300 is simple to use with easy graphics if you go for it. And if you do not, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility are present by default. The nine-speaker setup by the Alpine audio system is a good add-on. It gives a great thump to the passengers. The safety features such as rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring are very good. Additional features such as rear and front parking sensors, lane-keeping assist, and lane departure are available in packages. The voice controls present are quite basic but effective. The technological features such as 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, car finder, and remote start are optional.
Driving Experience
The 2021 Chrysler 300 is built for powerful and smooth cruising, and it does it well. The optional top engine powers the big vehicle forward without any fuss, but press into the acceleration with enthusiasm, and you will be greeted with a powerful thrust and a rumbling exhaust note. An automatic transmission gives clean and crisp shifts. Several of the trims come with paddles to take over when you feel like it. The 2021 Chrysler 300 is not a sports sedan, even in the Sport trim. But it does handle the driving tests well. The brake pedal is quite responsive with good stopping power. The steering is easy and light to turn at low speeds. The car firms up at highway speeds to provide a better feel of heft. The 2021 Chrysler 300 makes its weight felt on tight corners. This is even with the sticky tires and the stiffened suspension on the sports trim.
Comfort Factor
The 2021 Chrysler 300 delivers quite well on its near-luxury, premium premise in the interiors. There is very little noise on the road and only a little more from the wind when the car is driving at the usual pace. The climate control system works very fast and is simple to function through the main controls. The seats are also supportive and plush, and the even sportier trim gives importance to comfort. Overall, the drive is firmer than you might like. The car had a suspension that could not quite keep the feeling of rough streets out of the car. But this does not distract you from a nearly silent drive, and the non-sportier trims will handle bumps better.
Conclusion
The 2021 Chrysler 300 has nothing small. It is a big sedan in all senses of the word. It has an upscale and spacious interior, a longer wheelbase for a smooth ride, and a powerful engine to move much weight in the large sedan segment. Top it all with a vibrant design, and the only thing that is muted is the noise from the road.
