- With Australia the first market in the world to get the 2016 Chrysler 300 SRT, we jumped behind the wheel to see what the refreshed car is like.
Featuring an 8-speed automatic gearbox and revised styling, we hit the track to test out the car's launch control feature and to see whether it's still good at laying down 11s.

I love it because it's got a nice 6.4 V8 engine in it its not stupidity expensive like the AMG 6.3 or a BMW M3 and the Chrysler looks good outside and inside. Great work from SRT performance
You could get a 2012 C63 AMG for half the price, is faster, and looks better.
Nicks 92 videos what about sound system, interior, And the HUD.. ex. Do you think it's comparable compared to a 2016 of this model??
@@Murderap you could, but the chrysler is cheaper to fix if something breaks.
@@Murderap Comparing a 2012 model car to a 2016, what a dope you are. C63s look like typical bland euro garbage too. Who gives a shit if it’s faster? Where are you gonna use it anyway?
The 300 SRT is like Hulk wearing a tuxedo.
I actually prefer this over any BMW 5 series, Mercedes E-class etc.. simply because it got so much character. Well done Chrysler.
I just bought this car. Im in love with it
how is the car so far?
Hows it holding up
Had mine for almost 3 years now. The engine gets better with age. The car itself is holding up beautifully. I live on a dirt road too, so it isn't being treated with kid gloves. After nearly 3 years it still brings a massive smile every time I get in it. Such an awesome piece of machinery.
I'm not a car expert but just got my brand new SRT Core a month ago and love driving it. Really feel the power and something different as you don't see many of them on the road. Great car!
my god, I want this car, something has to give. FCA, I am going to write a letter.😤
How in the fuck did we not get this in the US
We don't even understand that one. Build an American car with an American engine in America and then immediately export it to Australia and don't tell anyone. Not sure that will win any business idea of the year awards.
CarAdvice.com Actaully it's built in Canada
Pete yeah it's pretty stupid they did that... I'm super pissed because I like the 300S but I would have loved to get an SRT version...
Perhaps sales in America were poor.
+ Zack Smoove The engines are assembled in Mexico, the car is assembled in Canada. The U.S.A., Canada and Mexico are in America(north).
in dry you can do 4.2 sec 0 to 100.
there are several guys who have posted there cars in stock form doing it on the clubs and Facebook pages
why in the hell dont we get the new version in the states?!?! oh well looks like ill have to find a 2012
It's so weird seeing the steering wheel on the opposite side of the car lol
It’s on the right side, no pun intended
@4:19 The launch control doesn't work properly. You have the launch control engaged with the brakes applied but the car is still spinning it's tire. Hmmm...
My brother is the owner of the 2013 SRT8 ,and all i could say is this would be a huge upgrade,so many better features and etc! Personally i'm a Mercedes lover and would go for the C63 any day but one of my favorite things about the 300c is that it has a surround sound system in it,and if you're a music lover then you'll definitely enjoy cruising with this car.
Downside would be the fuel consumption...It drinks the fuel like no other lol.
As if a C63 only sips on fuel.
@@7s29 What else does it sip on? :>
still pisses me off we never got this version of the srt8.. in the u.s. they stopped the 300 in the 2014 meaning we never got the 8spd + 392 version.. :(
Ikr?
So tempted but the Chrysler dealer network in Australia is terrible, all they want to sell is Jeep's, try finding a 2016 300 SRT to go and have a look at.
Would be awesome to see what this can do in the dry.
Suttons at rosebery in sydney have a Core i test drove last month bloody awesome motor car .. i paid my deposit ...
Not the only , In Saudi Arabia too , Mopar or Nocar Bro..
Lmao imagine going to raise the volume and starting to reverse on the road
It would of been nice if they had this version and this year in the U.S
I live in Canada. i own one of the last 2014 srt 300 black addition and you have no idea how PISSED OFF i am it isn't offered in North America. not to mention no 8 speed nor a hellcat option.
not impressed!!!!
Kristopher Klassen sorry about that :-(
Chrysler always the best v8s
Amazing car..I love the srt8 Chrysler
We need this to come back to North America. The 300 srt is amazing.
Beautiful! Can't wait to get this car when I turn 16.
I wish N America got it, I might replace my 2012 if we did. It sucks they still kneecap it with 245 rubber in back still, and the new rims look bad. the new seats, if the same as the Dodge line up are a excellent upgrade, as is the 8 speed auto and gauges/Uconnect graphics. other than the rims , great job on build, too bad I can't get one. HELLCAT IT, so I do t have to buy the hellcat charger or a CTS V.
order it from uae or saudi arabia
Or just buy a supercharger better then what made the srt a hellcat, Go do Dino the fuck out of it tune tune tune.
beautyful american muscle car
Breaking Bad brought me here 👌🏻
this car not that popular I don't know why 😔
Shaun Davis
its a heavy ass family car that looks good that's why.
Got me stuffed, people don't know what they're missing, thought they would strike more of a cord in Australia, as large 6cyl/V8 family 4 door sedan's were so popular over here. our first choice after ford stop producing Falcon's, Awesome car I reckon. weight is no excuse when you look at the size/weight of SUV's getting around.
Here in America car reviewers don’t need a racetrack to try launch control.
I love this SRT version of the 300, I do not like the complete blackout versions that are the only ones available here in the United States. This 300 is adorned in beautiful chrome and is how the 300 should look, it doesn’t look like a menacing muscle car in terms of looks, which is a good thing, but once you put your foot down it’s like a rocket! This is the perfect luxury muscle car!
actually, the latest model of SRT only comes in the black chrome, but you can stiall get chrome if u go for the down spec SRT Core
Just wanna see how it runs with the 8speed on dry pavement!!! Pisses me off its so ignored 😠
Why does the car bounce so violently at 4:19 when engaging launch control?
Wheel spinning with the front brakes applied. The rear wants to move, but the front doesn't let it.
Man y isnt this in america
Interior is awesome and exterior, badass sedan.
I thought Chrysler said they weren't going to make an 300 srt anymore? So what is this?
It's the 300 SRT. It's only being made in right hand drive, except for the Middle East.
true. and also they've stopped making it in the U.S which is pretty sad to say goodbye to the newly refreshed 2015 Chrysler 300 SRT.
I love australia but you guys are weird, using KW for HP but still using the Euro NM for torque :)
+thoravian N-M and KW are both metric units M8
+thoravian - it's that damn metric system again
georgelovecar what is HP then M8?
Horsepower. However there is also PS(Pferdestarkes) the matric version of HP which is about 1h= 1.013869665 which is what most of the OEM Power figure came from
georgelovecar no I know all this m8, but why not HP?
very good
was this filmed at sand down ?
+Nic Nolan - yes it was. Well spotted!
How did you manage to get the track all to yourselves!
We know a guy ;)
Do you still recommend a SRT-8? im in the market for a 12-13 model what do you guys think?
Wait the jesus up. Is this only available everywhere else except in usa?
This guy does reviews better than Jeremy !
i love it so much, so I am really exited to have one, really I can wait so long.
I'm sure he launched it incorrectly, theres supposed to be no wheel spin. Also, this dude legit accelerated with full throttle on a wet road, not to say its impossible, but its a little dangerous.
Is the engine supercharged?
I'm late, but no this is naturally aspirated (all motor)
The 8 speed auto's shifting speed is awesome, but I honestly can't get over the dial shifter instead of a knob. This means I have to use the paddle shifters to change gears manually, and I'd rather use the shifter like in a real manual.
Everything else in the car is absolutely golden though.
If you want a shifter like a real manual, probably buy something with a real manual. What’s the point in buying an auto to drive it like a manual? Sort of defeats the purpose.
@@15sixmedia This car only comes in auto. I want to have manual performance cars like SSs or XR8s alongside this one.
I hated the knob over the shifter but, now I much prefer it. It's so much quicker.
@@7s29 I can't imagine it having the same feeling as squeezing a button and slamming the knob into drive though
Amazing how many of these videos are filmed on miserable days...
+brendan pottage Because Melbourne.
because Melbourne winter. Summer is awesome!
It’s just so stunning car... Great video
i don't think he activated launch control properly... bit scary he didnt notice the tyres spinning and car jumping around
It’s a dam shame that this American car is only available in this spec somewhere that’s not even America
Im just waiting for Chrysler to bring it back to the US... i can't wait..
Michal Wise why didnt Chrysler just put in america in the first place? What are they waiting for
What Chrysler should do again is start making the 300 SRT here is the States..
Im goin over there to get me one 🥴🥴
Wtf is a kilowatt of power
1 kw is 1.75 hp. This car has 485 hp.
7s29 Thanks bro I’ll have to remember that
Google say it about 470hp
Negatives. Horrible foot operated park brake. Turning circle larger than the QE2. Other than that, it's a great beastie!
awesome
The gear selector is very dissapointing.
no it's not. the gear shifter is fantastic
it saves more fuel when changing the gears, it also speeds up the car quick off the line, and it's very responsive
+Kevin Marquez I think he means the stupid dial, in which case I completely agree and It's even worse in the Dodge Ram.
Saudi,Dubai, N.Z. and Australia.
Hey Paul.nice meeting u.at.motor.world
nice add
ugh... one can dream, right guys?
zalo813 I have one don’t get it
@@brandonj246 😂 how come
I have an Srt10, and trust me when I say that Chrysler opened up a whole line of whuuup ass.
For a minute I Thought it was a mini Rolls-Royce
I want this only because Walter White drove it
you and your car are getting "wet" idk I think I'll go with the he'll cat srt
waw naies
the fuck is a kilowatt? lol
THE NICE ONES i search online that car develop 470 horsepower
shit weather but still a very good review
not impressed with the interior at all. the only great thing I like is,the sound of the engine. they copy the grand cherokee jeep srt interior and paste it into the Chrysler 300 srt. not impressed with any of their design for 2016.
Jeep dodge chrysler all same one way or another.
To bad they don't make these cars in the United States
This car is great... It says a big fuck you to carbon footprint in a PC society of sissies.
rt charger scat pack or 300 srt wish one is faster
Im in love ^_^
we have it in stock! th-cam.com/video/-STFPoEL8m8/w-d-xo.html
I like to think that I'm good at converting metric to imperial like But this KW shit messes me up. The numbers are always lower so it makes me think the vehicle isn't as powerful as it really is. And on a somewhat related note, newton mestres or foot pounds of torque are just that, units of torque. There are no such things as "torques." That's like saying something is "57 longs" as an example. It's "57 feet long. Or 57 metres long." Same goes for torque. You need to say what units you are using.
+Erich Stagat It’s Newton metres - Nm. It’s a universal measure for torque.

Australia is England, done right.
AMERICAN muscle car that's no longer available I'm AMERICA. SMH
Holy crap that model is broken , steering wheel is on the wrong side.... just kidding
Um.. It's in the right side.
My Toyota Camry can do 0-100km in 5 seconds
+Enlightened Tha THIRD - down hill doesn't count ;)
CarAdvice.com.au lol maybe 7 seconds
Yes it can. Easily. Put the pedal to the metal and she flies.
lmfao
Even if your Toyota Camry can do 0-100 in 3 seconds..... you will have no friends and no sex life.
1 problem. I see alot of Fiat in it.
Launch fail much.. Love the burn out tho
