Chrysler's 5.3-liter V8 is now standard in the 2018 Chrysler 300C.Ĭlassic American styling meets traditional rear-wheel drive in the current Chrysler 300, which may have either a fuss-free V6 engine or a powerful, throbbing Hemi V8. Cloth upholstery is standard on the 2018 Chrysler 300, along with 17-inch wheels. Some trim groups have been revised for 2018.

But when its $73,680 price lands within only a couple grand of the Chrysler 300 SRT, our inner movie buff is screaming for a showdown. Sure, you could call this comparison pointless when our 700-strong allocation is virtually sold out.
