The 2023 Chrysler 300 lineup and what each trim includes

Chrysler offered the 2023 Chrysler 300 in four main trim levels: Touring, Limited, 300S, and 300C. Each trim builds on the previous one with additional features, comfort upgrades, and technology. The base Touring model comes with a V8 engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive as standard, along with essentials like air conditioning, power windows, and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

Moving up to the Limited trim adds leather seating, heated front seats, a power sunroof, and an upgraded 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 300S focuses on sportier styling with a unique grille, sport suspension tuning, and 20-inch wheels. The 300C, the top trim, layers in premium features like a panoramic sunroof, premium leather, a 19-speaker audio system, and additional luxury appointments throughout the cabin.

Key Takeaways

  • Technology and comfort features increase with each trim level, from basic infotainment in the Touring to a premium audio system and panoramic sunroof in the 300C.

Engine and drivetrain options across trims

Every 2023 Chrysler 300 is powered by a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine producing 363 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. This engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission on all models. Rear-wheel drive comes standard on the Touring and 300S trims, while the Limited and 300C offer all-wheel drive as an option—a choice that affects both handling and fuel economy.

The all-wheel-drive system on the Limited and 300C improves traction in snow and wet conditions but reduces fuel efficiency compared to rear-wheel drive. Fuel economy for the 2023 300 ranges from approximately 16 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway for rear-wheel-drive models, dropping slightly with all-wheel drive. There is no hybrid or turbocharged option for the 2023 model year; the V8 engine is the sole powertrain choice across all trims.

Interior and comfort features by trim level

The Touring trim provides cloth seating, manual seat adjustments, and a basic climate control system. The Limited upgrades to leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with lumbar support, heated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The 300S keeps the cloth interior of the Touring but adds sport-tuned suspension and unique exterior styling rather than luxury upgrades.

The 300C delivers the most comfort with premium leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power sunroof standard on Limited and 300C models. The 300C also includes a panoramic sunroof that extends further back into the cabin. All trims feature a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, though cargo space remains modest at 16.2 cubic feet due to the sedan design.

Technology and infotainment systems

The Touring trim includes a 7-inch touchscreen with AM/FM radio and Bluetooth connectivity but lacks smartphone integration. The Limited and higher trims upgrade to an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing wireless or wired connection to your phone for navigation and audio streaming. All trims support Bluetooth for hands-free calling and audio playback.

The 300C adds a premium 19-speaker audio system with a subwoofer, compared to the standard 6-speaker setup in lower trims. Navigation is not built into any 2023 300 model; you must use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to access mapping apps like Google Maps or Waze. USB ports are standard on all trims, with the 300C offering additional charging ports throughout the cabin.

Safety and driver-information features

All 2023 Chrysler 300 models come standard with blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a backup camera. Electronic stability control, traction control, and a tire-pressure monitoring system are also standard across the lineup. The 300C adds adaptive cruise control, which automatically adjusts your speed to maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking.

Lane-departure warning and lane-keep information are available on the Limited and 300C trims but not standard on the Touring or 300S. Parking sensors are standard on all trims to help with low-speed maneuvering. The 300 does not offer a surround-view camera system or 360-degree parking camera; the backup camera is the only camera view available.

Exterior styling and wheel options

The Touring and Limited trims share a traditional Chrysler 300 design with a prominent grille and classic proportions. The 300S distinguishes itself with a more aggressive front grille, unique badging, and sport-oriented exterior trim. Standard wheels are 18 inches on the Touring, with 19-inch wheels available. The 300S comes standard with 20-inch wheels, while the 300C offers 20-inch wheels as well.

All trims are available in multiple exterior colors including Bright White, Gloss Black, Granite Pearl, and Destroyer Gray. The 300C adds chrome accents and unique trim pieces that set it apart visually from lower trims. Roof color is body-color on all models; a contrasting roof is not offered for the 2023 model year.
