Although the current trend in car buying leans toward the ever-popular crossover or SUV, there are still some drivers remaining who prefer sedans, even big ones. And Chrysler is one of the few manufacturers to still offer a full-size sedan in their lineup for the 2021 model year.
The first thing you notice about the 2021 Chrysler 300 near El Paso TX is definitely the way it looks. The 300 projects a regal air with its bold, yet simple stylishness and powerful presence. A wide, low stance gives it a subtle aggressiveness, while it retains a stately refinement. Generally speaking, whether it be royalty, a celebrity, or some high ranking official, this car looks like a VIP will be stepping out of it or getting into it. Maybe that VIP will be you!
This year the top trims are gone, leaving just three to choose from: Touring, Touring L, and 300S. And even though the Chrysler 300's appearance hasn't changed much since the mid-2000s, it's endured and gotten better with age, like a fine wine.
The base engine that's under the hood of most models is the award-winning 292 horsepower (300 hp in the 300S) PentaStar 3.6-liter V6 that puts out plenty of oomph, no matter what the horsepower. An even more powerful 5.7-liter HEMI V8 is available, delivering 363 hp and 394 lb-ft of torque, but only on the 300S trim. Paired with all engines is a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, with AWD being an option in the Touring and Touring L versions.
2021 Chrysler 300 near El Paso TX: Driving Style
The majority of drivers will be satisfied with the spirited but smooth V6 motor since 292 hp is a lot of go, even for a large sedan. But then again, rear wheel drive paired with a burbling V8 inside a big American car that's rumbling down the highway just feels so good! The 300S model with the 5.7-liter HEMI will literally launch you from a standstill, and it'll produce awesome acceleration. However, don't let the power fool you into thinking it's a sports sedan. It's not. Winding roads and sharp curves are best taken at a slower speed because the Chrysler 300 and its suspension were made for comfort, not performance.
With that said, comfort reigns supreme in the 2021 Chrysler 300 near El Paso TX and the suspension does a good job of reducing body roll. It handles well, and has impressive braking and grip, which effortlessly brings the 300 to a stop. When you're driving, you can expect a pleasant ride with easy and light steering.
Inside the well-appointed cabin you'll find more than what the car's price suggests. High quality materials and simplicity will soothe your senses, while offering plenty of room for up to five people. Over 16 cubic feet of space makes the 300's trunk one of the largest in the class. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are standard in all models, along with the Uconnect infotainment system, which very simple to operate. An 8.4-inch screen is responsive and quick, but physical knobs are also there for audio and climate control.
You can probably find flashier or fancier full size sedans on the market, but the 2021 Chrysler 300 offers value, versatility, and great style at an affordable price. It's good-looking and roomy, and although fuel economy is a bit low, it's still a pleasure to drive - and to be seen driving!
