2015 Chrysler 300 Review: 300C Luxury - CarAdvice
Try 20-inch aluminium wheels, quilted Nappa leather seats and door inserts like an S-Class Benz, French stitched Foligno Italian leather on the dash fascia and centre console, satellite navigation, automatic high-beam lights, heated seats both... This finish, alongside the cream-coloured Nappa leather, is merely a no-cost option (an all-black treatment is standard), and kudos to Chrysler for offering it, really. The standard nine-speaker Alpine system with a sub and 506-watt amp is pretty excellent, but true audiophiles will want to drop $2000 on the Harman Kardon 19-speaker/900W unit that our car had. Tame Impala’s new album has rarely sounded as layered and complex as it did in our 300C. At least rear occupants get vents and a USB point each, and those heated rear pews look the part even if they’re a little shy on offering support. You can flip-fold the seats to access the boot, which is rated at a small-ish 462 litres. Said boot has a long and somewhat shallow floor that raises near the seats, and hides only a space-saver spare. This is a proper cruiser, really, though it performs well enough in terms of low-speed tractability and has a nice linear, responsive nature under moderate throttle. We also matched Chrysler’s claimed combined-cycle fuel claim of 9. 7 litres per 100km, which is commendable (though stop-start traffic will pitch you well into the teens).
