That Class D luxury street cruiser you drove on street racing games in the early 2000s is available in real life, and it’s even cooler in person. That’s right; we’re talking about the Chrysler 300, which is an affordable luxury model that officially debuted in 2005. But the good news here is that you don’t have to play an old video game or hunt down an older used model to become a proud Chrysler 300 owner. The 2021 Chrysler 300 is now available, and it carries all the same aesthetic, luxury, and performance benefits that previous Chrysler models had, with an emphasis on technology and safety. We’re excited to tell you all about this new model and why you’ll want to make it your new ride.
Street Performance
This car is in numerous street racing games, and they aren’t just throwing it in there for the heck of it. While its aesthetic appeal is impressive on its own, its performance is outstanding. You can choose between a V6 and a V8 engine, but keep in mind that the 5.7 HEMI V8 houses best-in-class torque and horsepower. With 394 pound-feet of torque and 363 horses, you can easily make it from 0 to 60 in the low-5 seconds. Don’t let those luxury looks fool you. This car was made for speed.
We know that the whole V8 engine thing is impressive yet terrifying, thanks to fuel prices. However, rest easy and remember that Chrysler implements Fuel Saver Technology on the new 2021 Chrysler 300 model. As a result, the Fuel Saver’s sensors will deactivate cylinders when additional power is not needed, reducing fuel consumption, which in turn saves you money.
Whether you choose the V6 or the V8 engine, you’ll get Sport Mode standard on the 2021 Chrysler 300. Sport Mode ensures that you’re using every bit of your engine’s power. When you want to pep things up on the streets, flip on Sport Mode for quicker shifts and more sensitive steering, which is perfect for cruising curvy roads. The best part about this model is that it comes with an all-wheel drive option, which makes it even easier and safer to drive on wet roads, on gravel, and even in the snow. When you want luxury yet you’re a sucker for a sporty vehicle, the 2021 Chrysler 300 is a great option.
Let’s Talk Luxury
You can tell just by viewing this car’s exterior that it’s a luxurious model. It comes in nine different exterior shades, including purple, blues, and reds. The 2021 Chrysler 300 keeps its classic grille style but adds in six wheel options that range anywhere from 17 inches to 20 inches. While the exterior is evidently high-quality, this car’s interior is even more impressive. Your interior material options will depend on which trim you choose.
The Touring trims come with six different seating options, including both cloth and leather, in black, gray, and tan shades. The 300S trims include even more luxurious interior options, including the Radar Red leather option. More impressively, this model includes an option for front and rear heated seats, and it comes with standard lumbar adjustment. This model’s styling alone screams luxury, but styling isn’t the only aspect that makes the 2021 Chrysler 300 a luxury model.
This car is offered with 9 Alpine speakers, including a subwoofer, so it’s not necessary to spend extra upgrading your audio system. Plus, it comes with standard Uconnect, which includes a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and built-in navigation. You’ll also gain access to handy programs such as SiriusXM Travel Link and Traffic Plus features that last for five years. These features give drivers detailed traffic reports, better alternative routes, specific weather warnings, and much more. You never have to worry about not being in the know when you’re driving a 2021 Chrysler 300.
Part of the luxury here also lies in the 300’s driver-assist features. No matter how bad you are at parallel parking, or just parking in general, this car won’t show it. This is thanks to ParkSense’s Front and Rear Park Assist. You’ll receive audible alerts when you’re getting too close to an object, and if you don’t heed the warnings, the vehicle will automatically stop to prevent you from colliding. Rear Cross Path Detection also comes in handy if parking lots aren’t your favorite place to drive. It can alert you when a vehicle is approaching in the aisle behind you, so you don’t back out in front of other drivers. Whether it’s a mailbox, a shopping cart, or another vehicle, you can count your car keeping you safe from parking lot collisions.
Finally, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go adds to the convenience by ensuring that you won’t have to reset your cruise control constantly. Simply set your cruising speed, and the 300 will automatically slow down (and even brake if needed) when the traffic flow gets slower. You can even adjust the distance you’d like to stay from the vehicle ahead as well.
Between its luxury aesthetic appeal, high-quality comfort, and handy convenience features, the 2021 Chrysler 300 offers the perfect experience for luxury drivers.
Additional Handy Features Thanks to SiriusXM
Convenience is part of most vehicles these days, but luxury models are expected to offer additional features that make driving even easier – and the 2021 Chrysler 300 more than meets this standard. For example, in addition to the SiriusXM Travel and Traffic Plus features, drivers also gain access to the SiriusXM Guardian Tracker system. Thanks to this, you can find your vehicle when you’ve forgotten where you’ve parked or when someone has borrowed it, and it’s not back on time. Even better, this program offers a specific feature that tracks your car in the event that it’s stolen.
Speaking of SiriusXM Guardian, this feature actually allows you to access many other cool features, such as remote vehicle start and roadside assistance. You can even set curfew times for young drivers and set up automatic SOS calls in case of an accident. SiriusXM isn’t only about talk shows and music now. It can provide your family with all the best safety and security features on the market.
Why Choose The 2021 Chrysler 300 Over Other Models?
This car proves itself to be a blend of luxury and sporty, which isn’t something you come across easily. You have the option to stay zippy if needed while still benefiting from the car’s high-quality interior and convenience features. But the main reason you’ll want to choose a 2021 Chrysler 300 is its incredible affordability. The term “luxury” is scary to most drivers because it is usually followed by an unreasonable MSRP. However, you can take home this luxury-level car for as little as $31,370.
To put this price into perspective, let’s look at a few starting MSRP ranges for other luxury sedans. A 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-class model starts out at $54,250, and a 2021 BMW 5 Series costs $54,200 for a base-level trim with no add-ons. The main thing to remember here is that the 2021 Chrysler 300 is affordable, but not because it offers less than the competition. It offers upscale luxury, plenty of power, and a lower price tag. When you need a car that can keep you stylish while doing a little bit of everything, then this is the model for you.
