I love the classy look of the 300.
The body style is old it hasn’t changed much, my friends bran new Chrysler 300 looked like a 10 year old car the other day because it was dirty, a boring looking car to me!
Just bought a new one. 300 Limited. There's nothing like it on the road today.
3 Hunit is a platform that has infinite possibilities 😎
My 3 Hunit S 5.7 Hemi is fire 😎
Indeed I bought a 2019 Leftover last August, 300 Touring with the Sport Appearance package in Bright White, Love it even with the V6 😁👍
You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the luxurious options of the 300 and I feel that is the HUGE difference between the two . Now after seeing this vid I would like to get my hands on a 300 with the 5.7 and have all the luxurious options etc . Phenomenal comparison Racer X nobody can do these better than you . Cheers .
Thank you Mike. Much appreciated buddy
That's what I have and I wish I had the charger w the 6.4 when I'm alone but with the family all the luxury options come in handy great kids love the heated seats in the back and their sunroof lol so best of both worlds
Mike Point or nail on the head. Lol
I would love a 300S V8 vs R/T comparison. The 300s are such sharp vehicles with a great interior, I keep getting tempted to get another with the V8 before they disappear for good.
@Bite Me I get they are always going to be available on the used car market. Time is running out on grabbing a new 300S V8.
Just got a 300 SRT ! and added about 30 horsepower to the already 485 horse! but def much better as far as interior! will be def moding it even more soon
@@seanmcgowan4423 I just bought a 2017 300 S AWD with a V6 in a dark blue. Don't personally need a V8, and I absolutely love it! Feels like a God damn space ship compared to my 95 ranger 😂.
One more year. 2023 will be the last year of production before they retool for whatever comes next, so I hear.
This is the last year, do it!! If you haven’t already ;)

Great comparison. I do believe if given the choice between the two I’d pick the 300. Just a classier car for the money. Would make a great daily driver.
It most definitely would 👍
Or get the SXT, add some rims, tires, spoiler, diffuser, tint rear lights, paint the brakes red, tint side markers, add a cold air intake and straight pipe it. Now that’s a daily driver !

Your reviews are the bomb! So much better than even dsome of the auto mag's that post reviews. Great perspective.
Great V6 comparison. Everyone I know that has a 300 LOVES the car. As a daily driver, I'd choose the 300 over the SXT.
That was a good honest review! Thank you Racer X.
A good straight forward, unbiased comparison of the two vehicles. For that, you just got another subscriber, and I’m not even into cars like that. The main difference between the two cars is one is a family sports sedan, the other is a luxury car. As far as what they have to offer for features and options at the base model, you can’t go wrong with either car. But as you can see, the Chrysler 300 gets the nod.
Here from Irving just found your channel and def subscribing keep up the good work!
Nice video and comparison.
I agree with your assessment of both cars.
I own a 2017 300c.
I love it.
Good job👍😁
Great Info X we test drove a challenger GT it was hard and uncomfortable may have to look at a 300
I was looking at chargers for sooooo long since my cobalt jumped timing and destroyed itself. And then this super nice 300 came in to work and the moment I sat in it to clean, I knew it had to be mine! I have never been happier!
I love the look of the 300C have been considering buying for while now. Think I will🌝
I enjoyed this 'apples to apples' comparo, which focused on the differences between the 2 cars comparably priced with identical powertrains. :))
I have a 2014 RT and a 2017 300S. Both cars are great.. comfort performance and drive ability. Can't go wrong with either..
300 gang, we ride smooth
Last time I was this early my lady rolled her eyes and went to bed!
LOL.. quick shooter
@@RacerX9 shooting blanks now
I have a 2013 300S AWD Glacier Edition in Bright White and I love it. It has 300hp and the only mods I’ve done to it is install an 80mm throttle body and a KN cold air intake. I’m thinking about adding a ported intake manifold and coil packs but haven’t decided yet. Up here in Massachusetts I need the AWD and the 300hp is plenty fast enough for me (I just turned 70).
Great video @RacerX. I actually watched this before going to look at both cars, and completely agree with you. Ended up going with the 300 because of the seats, larger screen, lighter steering, and smoother feel. Plus, even though it's a dated design, I just prefer the look of the 300 over the Charger.
Shoulda got the charger SXT plus…way better car and I’ll smoke you 😉
I loved my 2018 300 Touring L! RacerX Yes, the seats were softer than any of the modern cars, actually went from a BMW 325i to the Chrysler 300 because of the seats. If you think those cloth seats are soft, you should sit in one with leather. As for the steering, I found that in my 300 limited I was able to change the steering feel in the Settings application, as I recall there were three settings Comfort, Sport, and Normal... I wonder if the Steering setting in the 300 you tested was set to Comfort. I found in Normal and Sport mode the steering was firmer. I greatly enjoyed your videos! Keep them coming!
im a mustang guy but the charger is a nice looking car the seats are softer in the 300 because it a luxury car
I think the 300 is looking pretty good this year!
I like the 300 more if I had to have a V6. It feels and looks like a BOSS car.
Huh who wants a v6 when they have v8 boy uh uh
It's a grandpa and granny car boy

I got the 2019 300 touring with the sport package and i love it!!! Beautiful car 😁
The legend himself racer x 💯💯
Yes sir.. much appreciated
Thank you for the comparo!
Your comparison is amazing! I will say, the Dodge Charger SXT, at least the one I got, it lets you have Sport mode, which I believe tightens up timing, a bit more fuel and all that stuff for if you wanted to go really fast, but on the opposite of that, if you wanted comfortable driving, you can have that all set to normal, but you can also set the Steering wheel to "Comfy" setting, which does give it that lighter feel to steering, for me though it feels awkward, probably because I've come to like the normal & sport mode steering
I love my 2018 300s AWD. Extremely comfortable ride over long distances. Has the giddy up if I want it.
i just got my 2020 300SRT few months ago here in saudi, what a beast i love it
I just bought my ocean blue 2019 300s I love every bit of it. All I did was put 5% all around and one 12 kicker in the trunk 🔥🔥 I like the chargers but everyone has them... I have yet to see the same 300 as mine and I live in Cleveland
I love my 2018 Chrysler 300. Leather seats, the looks and all. I get a lot of compliments because it is classy and classic.
My 300c (2018) has a setting in the menu to adjust the steering to sport or touring. Maybe that's why it feels light for you? Love my 300. For me, it's way more comfortable than a charger.
Great content Racer X as always
Much appreciated
I did the same thing man and decided on the 300. I miss it because I sold it but I’d pick it again given the chance.
I have an ocean blue 2018 300 limited love it! Watched this vid cause my boss wants to race her charger lol but did ya happen to review the 2023 300 with the hellcat engine? They sold out in 30 mins or so I would have loved to get one before the ev market destroys all these great gas cars
Charger all day.
Still love my charger.. dont get me wrong lol
Nice review man.. respect
Great video Racer X!
Thank you my friend..
300 if you want a more upscale luxurious vehicle. Charger if you want more of a sporty type car, that’s also relatively cheap. I’ve got a loaded 2019 300C, with the Hemi. I love leather and wood trim and chrome etc. Plus the V8 for some oomph when I stomp on the go pedal 😅
I currently have a Dodge Charger SXT Plus and I love it. I'm keeping my SXT until the gas prices get better then I'm gonna trade in for a Hellcat.
That 300 unique the chargers are everywhere everyone has one
Everyone has a 300 too lmao

@@untalentedrapper8118 Very reliable from what I've heard. I plan to purchase a 2022 300 S soon.
Hey Racer X the seats in the 300 are softer on purpose because it's more a luxury car and thats why the steering is lighter but why the suspension isn't softer....I don't know 😕
I know this is an older video and you were discussion these two vehicles with V6 power but I needed to include my feelings and story. I test drove both the Charger RT and the Chrysler 300C. Both with 5.7 Hemi engines. What I discovered was the Charger RT had the better factory exhaust and track apps that the hemi Chrysler doesn't offer. Considering the pricIng, the Black 300C had better styling with 20" rims. I use the look as sinister. It has more comfortable seating than the RT. The 300C had mocha Napa leather seats that's heated/cooled. Heated/Cooled front cup holders and felt more like a Luxury/Sports sedans. The 300C I purchased was a factory demo with 5000 miles. I was able to save over 35% off the $43,500 MSRP. Since the 300C was extremely limited and now discountinued. My deal was fantastic and now with only 19,000 miles. Recently I was offered by the same dealership to buy my car back for what I paid for it. Since it's still under factory warranty and not wanting to lose my warranty. I've added some bolt on parts for performance. A Flow Master performance exhaust, 85mm throttle body, K&N cold air. I visit my local drag strip and run street class bracket racing every other weekend and it fun getting mentioned by the track announcer racing a big Chrysler 300 that's very competitive. My wife's not happy with the loud exhaust, but it's my hobby and I'm extremely happy I selected my 300C. I believe the production of the Chrysler 300 will end completely since the charger and 300 compete against each other. I'm happy I purchased one of the final 300C Hemi
I like that you can get a panoramic sunroof in the 300s 🥰
Yes, I just bought a new Touring with the panoramic roof, chrome package and the preferred package. LOVE IT!
@@beagleman837 that’s what’s up that’s literally the only thing I’m missing I got a 300 c with the 5.7 awd no panoramic tho 😭 but imma put stars in the headliner to make up for it 😂
I have a panoramic sunroof in my 300 c
i test drove a 2019 300, 80 and 40 mph felt the same, so quiet we could hear my leather jacket when i turned wheel. u could hear a pin drop. open back window n its was deafening. only thing bad deal breaker was it road as ruff as my p71 cop crown vic. could feel the tar strips. was the touring model. do ant cars ride good?
105,000 miles on my 2015 300s 5.7l hemi. Awesome car! Bought it brand new.
I was hoping you'd pick the 300. Like you said it's going to be sad if they discontinue them. They are very beautiful vehicles and like you said they have two cars that they're dealing with why not just continue the 300. They're freaking awesome looking drivable cars.
Interesting Video‼️ Never been in a 300 but I know it's a Very Popular car. I guess it depends what type of car your looking for, Luxury go 300, Sporty go Charger or Challenger 💯
Yep I agree with you buddy
You can have Sport and Luxury with the Chrysler 300S V6 or V8
V6 for the Smooth Commute, V8 for the Muscle Performance
Just subscribed and liked the video
I'm trying to figure out. Which one is more faster or they're the same?
What’s the difference in the sxt plus and the gt they have the same hp.
i have the 2021 chrysler 300S 5.7L, can anyone hook my up with info on what tuner to buy
I Love my 300C. With the 5.7 it is punchy enough to be fun but still rides nice and is quiet on the highway.
What year
Great review I own a 300 it's a great car.
I would say the 300 is better bc its more luxurious and still has same horsepower
I own a 2019 300S 3.6 V6 and it will and it will squat on you! Absolutely fast! I called it the 300 Scat! It’s ceramic gray ❤️❤️❤️
What was the otd on the super stock
I traded my 2005 300c for a 2019 300 C, love both but the safety features on the 2019 made my 2005 obsolete.
I got a 2019 Chrysler 300 limited and I love it
Mr X, love your channel dude. Question please, does the 300S have the same soft ride suspension as the 300 you compared in this video? Or maybe the 300S is possibly tighter and sportier? 🤔
I think in the V6 class Chrysler 300 is the better choice.
One is you don't have anybody trying to race you in it and other I think is Mr. Policeman might not take a second look at you. Lol.
Love all your videos you & Mrs.X make.
All solid points Roy
Hybrid Libertarian has a point that few know what engine you have so that doesn't matter. However that Mr. Policeman is less likely to take notice of a 300 is one of the many reasons why I choose a 300, a V8 AWD one.
While of course there's faster cars, being stealthy and AWD means I can actually drive faster.
@Hybrid Libertarian With your praise of the interior I'd assume yours is a second gen then? Mine is a '14 and I and apparently most consider the 2011+ interior a big improvement. I think the whole gangster thing has come to really only be applied to the first gen 300 and the Magnum. The 2nd gen IMO has largely avoided that image, not completely and Chrysler using rappers to promote the second gen didn't help, but still.
I think it still holds true that outside of how one drives color is the most important thing in avoiding the cops eye. Then sound, then condition, but not just all the aftermarket BS but also if it's run down, damaged, etc. basically if you look like you can't afford car insurance. Followed by the type of car. A well maintained stock grey Charger would do better then a red, riced out, and damaged 300. Mine is Granite and except for mild wheels completely stock in appearance, still quiet, and of course perfectly maintained.
The V6, ehh probably usually money, on my sticker the 5.7 is a $2200 bump. Then there's that 15+ AWD is only on with the V6. Plus insurance costs and the 8 speed.
Hey nice hat. Love my 300s. I have the v6 and it's no drag car but it goes. Awd. Cheers. I blow by anyone in the winter.
Very good comparison.
Thank you Richard
I have a 2016 300 limited. I love it to death. Yea it the base model but I don’t care. I’m soo happy with it
What gears does your 5.0 have ??
I own a 300 touring with the penstar and its a really great car its a modern luxury car that's why it's softer and lighter to drive,
I commute with her 50 + miles one-way I'm over six feet tall and the 300 has more than enough legroom even in the back seat with the divers all the way back.
and I've done Florida to Illinois run several times and the car is not a tiring vehicle it cruses at 90 like nothing and takes the clover leaves at 80. I will by another once I pay this one-off, and I'm debating a ripp supercharger for her
Niceee reliable for you not many issues? I hear bad and good things lol
Don't supercharge it.. you lose reliability
@@chase444 the 3.6 is a very good engine
So the ride is the same in the 300 and SXT? But the 300 has softer seats. Did the SXT seem just as quiet as the 300?? From what I understand, the 300 has acoustically laminated windshield and glass, for the two front doors.
driven both, I thought the 300 felt faster. The 300 seats are probably more comfortable because it's the Touring trim. The 300s trim has seats that are fairly firm.
The 300S Seats are similar to the Charger and Challenger Seats, same shape proportions
the 300 is slightly lighter i could he wrong i think 200 or so pins difference
Will you review a RAM TRX soon?
I’d highly recommend that you test drive a 300s. There is a noticeable difference. I daily a 2018:
Does the charger sxt feel slow too you
On my 2016 300C AWD you can change the steering from normal to light or sport. Notice a big difference!
I got a frostbite blue 2020 300 for my daily driver. Got a dreaming deal on it.
How good we talking?
@@TACADD A lot of dealers out there advertising the base model in the 22k range with rebates and incentives. Figure out which ones you don't qualify for and add back in fees and taxes and probably looking at 25-27k OTD.
@@maxxcolt9458 That's a pretty good deal for a new car of its quality. Used models that are only a couple of model years old go under 20k often enough.
Which car do you think has the best reliability
I wanted an AWD 300C forever(lived in Alaska), I found a unicorn AWD Charger RT and I'm pretty sure I'm happier with it.
I have an AWD 5.7 300C, love it.
Great vid as always. I just bought a 2018 300 and I really like the looks and the v6 is more than adequate.
I just put my beautiful 09 Ram into semi retirement at 185,000 miles.
I'm the original owner.
Love your vids and I have a plan to buy a Scat Pack in 2 years, it's gonna be blue with leather and a stick shift!
Edit
09 Ram is 5.7 Hemi and still gives me a thrill when I punch it!
Can you one with a fully loaded 300
The only thing that disappoints me about the 300 is the dial shifter. I like an old school lever.
I've got a 300c awd v8, I love it.
Both v6 have setting for the power steering on the screen setting
I rented a Chrysler 300 V6 to drive from New Orleans to Dallas and back. It tops out at 119 mph 😎
It should be higher🤨
@@officalsauceboii2172 nope 😢
Speed limiter
Since we're talking V6's, how about the Chrysler 200S V6? I know I love mine, I just want to know how it stacks in comparison to a Charger or 300 in feel
In terms of performance the 200 is actually faster with the V6 than the 300 and Charger with the 3.6 due to the weight difference.
Carjackers seam to prefer Chargers. If that means anything
Which is ironic because other than some bodywork, and interior trim, they're the same car
That's why Chrysler 300's are the better buy, less prone to theft, especially in Michigan
I love my ❤️300 I’m on my second one 😊

Great video, the super stock looks just like my hellcat so of course I think that one’s bad ass, LOL that color is OK on the Chrysler, but I couldn’t get it because I couldn’t tell people the color of my car is cinnamon stick, LOL but that’s just me
Haha.. well at least they dont have a color called Unicorn fluff .. that might be worse lol
@@RacerX9 LOL yeah that’s true except if I had that other car my friends are real funny they would always say here comes cinnamon dick
I love the outside of the 300. But the interior is outdated. I have a challenger and I was surprised how much cheaper the charger and 300 interior is. I thought the charger has the same exact interior. But alot more hard plastics!
I wouldn't mind having a V6 300 but couldn't do a "muscle car" Charger with a V6 so id take the 300
There is more 300 options for overseas than the US. I think it's a shame they never did a hellcat 300. If they do away with the 300 I would love to see them make another run at the ME412 that Mercedes killed before production. Beautiful mid engine car
Racer X I thought you had said in your video for the R/T that it took regular fuel. Influenced by your channel I went out and bought a 2019 R/T Durango, but when I went to fill the tank up and looked up on google what fuel to put it, it said 89 Octance??? Can I still put regular unleaded at 87 octane and be ok??
The compression ratio on the 5.7 is lower than the 6.4 which will allow you to run a lower octane fuel (10.5:1).. so essentially it doesn't need 93 octane. It will run on 87 octane .. although being the car guy that I am and always wanting my car to run it's best I would still probably run 89..
@@RacerX9 thanks
You're not going to do any harm using 87. But it will make a touch more power and get a touch better fuel economy on 89.
@@snek9353 is that the same story with a scat pak?
@@Jkt0891 Yes, the engine will de-tune itself for the lower octane fuel. These Mopar engines are unique, they actually run a sort of AI they call a neural network to self tune based on input from engine sensors. This allows them to better self adjust to always get the most out of whatever fuel is used, within limits of course.
i'm currently looking at getting a 300s HEMI, maybe trading my R/T for one soon. our streets are just too rough for my Challenger (it has the Scat Pack stuff on it) i guess i better nab one b4 they're all gone!
If you want new and features you better do it now. There's features only available in the C.
Between the two I would choose the 300! Even if the 300 came with the 6.4 in the US I think I would even choose the 300 over the Charger scat pack
I got the o6 6.1 300srt8 the later models of the last year's they made them have the 6.4
They did. Till 2014. One is in my garage
@@Welcometofacsistube nice 👌 I'm gone get one of those to when I find the right one and leave it in my garage also only occasionally drive to circulate the sauce a little 😁
The only reason why the 300 exists is to keep the Chrysler brand alive. The only Chryslers that exist besides the 300 are the Town and Country and the SRT 300 sold in Australia. The reason why the SRT version is sold in Australia is because the Charger isn't available there. I lost all interest in the 300 when the SRT was discontinued after the 2014 model year. If it weren't for FCA using the LX platform developed by Mercedes Benz and using what they had on the drawing board for future models, I don't think FCA North America would be very successful. The reason why I'm critical of FCA because they really missed the boat with the 300. The 300 could have been a more refined, high luxury car using the LX platform. If Mopar lovers can get excited about fender flares and placing Hellcat engines in cars that most will probably never be able to afford, I'm sure they would get excited about a 300 that came from the factory with the 392, magnetic ride, decent tires rather than the 245s found on the Scat Pack, carbon fiber, and other luxury features. With Ford and GM getting out of the luxury sedan business, a 300 like I'm suggesting would do very well. Sales would be limited. However, with the mark up on a car like I'm suggesting sales wouldn't need to be that high to justify its own existence. My first car was a Chrysler 300 when it was a luxury performance car. All it is now is a Charger with a different look and sales that don't justify its existence.
It's called Amethyst and Canyon Sunset on the Chrysler 300, not Hellraisin and Sinamon Stick
Have you ever thought that maybe that's just the words he chose to use. Instead of the real names of the colors? I would assume this guy probably knew the real names of the colors.
Steering feel is adjustable on the 300. Normal, sport or comfort
Yes and you actually can feel the difference
Both cars needs ASAP whole new model
I've never been a fan of the 300, but it looks good in some of the new colors for sure.
My dad kept telling me to review it.. it is a nice driving car for sure
The trim levels he mentions for the 300 are not for 2021+ 300's btw
