- The 2015 Chrysler 300 gets a big makeover. Don't worry, it hasn't lost any of its hansome looks, just a little sleeker and a little meaner with the 300S. This is what I call a cross country cruiser.
this is my 3rd 300, the first was a 2006, did 300,000kms no issues, second was a 2012 did 100,000 but crashed it, very safe car, now I have a 2015 platinum, very well refined
Amir Hussain about how much do these newer model 300's go for?
What about seconds is there anyyvehicle
I just took one for a test driver yesterday and it is phenomenal! Going to be my next car hands down!!!
That is a very attractive car in that color and trim. The 300 has become overlooked in the past few years which is a shame. An AWD full sized sedan with that level of performance and comfort at that price point, is a bargain.
Must say, American cars are certainly getting better.
MGT definetly, but i dont think they can ever compare to an italian or german car, but imo you do get the best bang for your buck with american cars.
especially the corvette
Little Dolphin for sure. Volvos are great.
@Lou hy
I've always loved these cars and I'm happy they still make it today.....
Chrysler company designed unique Chrysler 300. I like Chrysler 300 because of its beautiful appearance, large interior. All in all, a dream car for me.
I just bought one!! lol It really is a CLASS ACT. # Smooth riding all night
Dora Camarena im debating with the 200 and 300
@@dolphin4788 which one did you get
@@bigpurr8291 lol i dont even remember commenting this. neither. i do the same shit responding to old ass comments lmao
How does it ride in the winter
So you're saying that remote start from your phone, the feature that would benefit Canadians the most, isn't available in the country the damn thing is built in?
quite the piss off actually
Yea that’s messed up.
And made is Mexico
Beautiful car. Always get compared to an Impala and Avalon, but is light years ahead of both. Those cars dont turn heads. Ive owned a 2008 and now a 2012 300S and the car is nothing short of spectacular, and for a 40000$ price tag competes with the likes of BMW 5 series, Lexus, and Mercedes C Class series with ease, for half the price. Like someone said below, something about these cars (durango, cheeroke, 300, charger etc) has a old school head turning feel. Every time I pull up to a show my car turns heads, also has all the bells and whistles and a HEMI/SRT opton to boot? You cant ask for much more American muscle feel - even though FIAT and mercedes influenced, brand is very much american feelings. Love my 300 and the new styling is even better.
I have a 2011 and while i dont want to technically buy the same car i may have too...The options the 300 comes with would put other luxury cars in the 50-60,000 range...I love the e-85 option as well
Damn I love the Chrysler 300 what a fabulous car
boomerhgt Amen to that. I have a 2014, and I absolutely LOVE it. I haven't one complaint about mine, it's gorgeous and fun to drive. It has power to spare, and gets up and goes with no hesitation. I have an all-black leather interior with a panoramic sunroof. Get one, you won't be disappointed!
Jeff Schueler Hi Jeff I have a first gen 2006 300 had it four years this morning I'm going to pick up a newer second gen 300 I can hardly wait
Jeff Schueler same car, loving it!
the adaptive cruise control features sounds like it'd be a drunk drivers dream lmao
I just bought one just like this one same color & all along with the panoramic sunroof a few weeks ago. I've been getting complements on a daily basis ever since. I'm loving this car. It drives great & the room is perfect for people that's 6ft. & taller like myself.
Excellent highway cruiser
I think it was a mistake not giving the 300 the Hellcat platform and I hope Chrysler will offer it next year. If not, the SBH can be rebuilt to 700hp very easily.
Good review, but the background music is too loud. It takes away from what you're saying
just bought a 2013 fully loaded and I love it...
Call it the Heisenberg-Car :D
So if the car steers for you and the lines on the road in a construction area criss cross does it make you hit the workers
Just a heads up. Here in Canada, you can get a used one (1year with less than 20000km) for less than 30k CAD (50k new)
That is a beautiful car.
Chrysler 300 is a good car, not a 100,000 Dollar car, I enjoy my 300 it is very much, very reliable car, unlike a Chevrolet, nothing but issues with Chevys, trans, ignitions, engines.
I know someone that had a blazer had to put 2000 for new trans.
another, new transfer case only had 60,000 miles.
never have engine or trans with my chrysler I have 75000.
P.S. Hellcat smokes a ZL-1 Camaro, and somec cases a Vette.
lol i have a 300 and it has had more probelms den my mom impala especially the front end
One big problem is there's no room for the front license plate now which is required here in Texas. A European plate might work but I don't think it's allowed.
+Everett Cox you can put it behind the front windshield
Too bad you can't get one with a hemi and awd anymore. Mine has both. It's heavy as hell but it's real powerful and can push through some pretty intense winter conditions without batting an eyelash. (Canadian winters)
Little do u know now u can
@@hannahwhite8051 no you can't. Go to their website and look. You can not get a Chrysler 300 with AWD and a Hemi anymore because they developed a new transmission that isn't compatible with both.
Oh
My friend has one so now im confused
@@hannahwhite8051 it's probably a 2014 or older. If it's newer, there's no way it has all wheel drive and a Hemi unless he phoned Chrysler up and spent a ridiculous amount of money on having them build one especially for him.
I love that the body is still luxurious while imitating a sports car
How well do these hold up? Found a used 2015 with 32k miles for 18k and I really wanna pull the trigger on it!
Samee how did it go?
@@rey-ve7ih i actually did end up buying it lol, still own it too. It’s an okay car, I wouldn’t buy it again though given the chance. The infotainment system on fiat/chrysler/dodge absolutely sucks. It’s needed to have it’s drive shaft replaced (which thankfully was under warranty), but it does great in the snow and okay on gas, which is a plus.
I love that spoiler
Looks like the cheaper version of a rolls royce tbh.
Every luxury sedan is the cheaper version of the Rolls Royce.
It depends
so true, I used to confuse them for RRs back in high school, until I realized how many of them there were. I knew there was something strange about seeing a 500k car every 5 minutes. ...
Is that a bad thing?
All depends on what your preference is.
Major parts of this car are almost 20 years old. The front suspension is from the Mercedes S-class W220 which came out for the 1997 model year.
the outdoor temp is displayed in Celsius on the dash
how do you change it to display Fahrenheit ?
when locking the doors with the remote
the horn always sounds.
How do you change it to not sound the horn?
Google.
Got to get the hemi
Does this 2015 have a sun roof? I can’t tell.
Lol, all these idiots saying "weres te hellcat vurshin?". It's a luxury car! If you want a big sedan with a big V8, get a Charger!
Mercedes, BMW, Rolls Royce, Bentley,Jaguar, Porshe, and tons of other manufacturers offer luxury, and big hp. Chrysler is the only idiots not offering a luxury car with big hp, even Japanese car manufacturers are trying to join the party.
killahki I understand that, and you can get a great big Hemi mill in the 300, it's just that the typical buyer of the 300 isn't looking for big power. Besides, the Dodge Hellcat lineup is like the AMG Black series, adding the 300 would just ruin the car.
What's the typical buyer for the 300? Surely not someone that could care less about their car. Chrysler is positioning the car to go up against Germans just like Cadillac, yet unlike Cadillac they killed the SRT8. And they have nothing to go up against the CTS V, M, or AMG. I have a modded 06 300C and damn sure would want to buy an 300 Hellcat, because you can have luxury and power just like every other luxury car manufacturer has shown us.
killahki Alright, let's just end this here. We clearly have different opinions and we're never gonna agree with each other. Deal?
The new grille is hideous! They should go back to a more masculine, aggressive design like the original 300 C. The front end of the 2015 version is so anonymous that it looks as if it is trying to disappear into the crowd.
The front grille and the bottom plastic in the lower back kill it .
This car is ballin, i would drive it hahaha
I don't like when u turn the signal on, the headlight temporarily goes out. Then when ur signal turns off, the headlight comes back on. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm looking into buying a 2013 Chrysler 300c v6 (not used!!) as a daily use.. is it reliable, any advice?
nah chryslers junk cars
Sharp car.
I really enjoy your reviews man. But this music is horrible.
What's the color on the one used for the intro/closure?
Carlos Ruiz Jazz Blue
Jazz pearl blue
I love more the previous model
The thing that ruins it for me is the grill isnt as cool as the 2006 and they put the logo on the grill!! Please put it above the grill!!
I want those wheels but 24s!!! anybody know where to get them
+Brad Cummings I want them in 22" too they are pretty sweet looking
Im geting one 300s 2015
only dislikes I have of the update are the rotary dial knob and the new grill, the dial is just a terrible way to go, I mean one of the things I look for in a car is a center shifting stick, that just feels most natural to me, the knob just doesn't feel right to me, and in my opinion the grill should have stayed closer to the original, I like how up and in your face the old grill was, , and that it was uninterrupted by the chrysler logo, the new grill just doesn't pop out as much as the old.
I think steering wheel paddles come with all the models now don't they? His test car has them and it's a V6.
I didn't mean paddle shifters on the wheel, I was talking about the dial in the center console that shifts it from park neutral, reverse, etc. I just think it feels so artificial compared to an actual stick
Andrew Ruehling Yes I knew you meant the autostick I have one on my car. What I meant was the paddles take the place of the stick b/c you can't shift the knob and Chrysler wanted buyers to have that manual shift option.
Excellent assessment regarding the dial shifter. Because it is in other products. Theirs no distinction separate it from lesser models. Conventional shifter would remain my preference. The grill doesn't have a integrated look. Neither does the fog lights lower bumper trim. Seems as designers tweaked 300 not continued evolution. The wheels do remind me of Ford models coincidence. Why the 300 SRT got eliminated. Because aesthetically they failed distinguishing it. More aggressively exterior from other 300's. You knew immediately that's a SRT version.
Very nice review I thought.
Next car
nice review !!!
No more AWD V-8 SAD!
la voiture de mes reves chrysler 300 2015 bleu royal .
quel prix svp.
awesome
chrysler 300? did someone say poor man's phantom?
This will be a great car to buy at Carmax in about six years.
whoobibi 6 years? More like 1 year. This car depreciates like a rock.
Guest So does every luxury car. volvo, BMW, Mercedes and Audi are the same.
Trevour Spangler Chrysler is not a luxury brand.
Guest I like to consider it the luxury brand of Dodge like Lincoln is considered the luxury of Ford. Maybe not too European standards but nicer than your average Joe car.
+Guest It used to be. That the Chrysler brand isn't considered a luxury marque anymore is largely due to poor quality.
2:10 “A little bit SPORTER” uhhh you mean “SPORTIER”? 😂
THIS IS CAR
I've noticed something. This car is extremely popular with black guys. Just about every time I see one of these cars there's a guy who looks like me behind the wheel. I hate to sound stereotypical, but it's probably because they come standard with 20" wheels and an available Beats™ audio system. I'm black and I bought a Kia Cadenza. I don't blend, I like to stand apart. =>]
I agree, I'm black as well, but this car just screams terrible rim modifications and wife beater wearing black men. Smh
Wtf i wanted to see a hellcat virson
شد
looks from a rolls royce to a bentley
Buyer's beware!!! Anyone in the market for a 300, Charger or Challenger check the entire front suspension for rust. I have a brand new month old 300s with less than 300 miles on it and the entire front suspension looks like the parts came off the Titanic and I'm not talking about surface rust. Chrysler won't stand behind the repairs and if you search the web you will find owners with vehicles I listed with the same issues, some even resulting in crashes due to parts failing from corrosive suspensions.
The front suspension is aluminum and can't rust!
h sal that's bullshit, go troll elsewhere
Imagine that. An Asian guy raving about an American car. Watch out world, we're catching up fast.
TheTallMan35 who's we?
Ikea Uppsala American manufacturers
Driving a Chrysler 300 is like having a chrome trash can to try to impress your neighbors.
It's pronounced CHRYsLER, not CHRYzLER, there is no "z".
I dont think its as nice looking as 11/14.Rims are ugly and the mix between luxury/muscle car has been lost a bit.
Nice but same as it ever was.
I don't like the new look, it looks like a ford Taurus with fusion rims
They ruined the 300c. No more aggressive look. oh I forgot it's a fiat.
Say thank to Fiat...
Just buy a Mercedes or audi
Theyre ugly
+Luqmanners your ugly
+JDM 1998 you're a genius.
+xxX_BomBer_Xxx Sure, it's just 50-100% more!
+Luqmanners um is u stupid
How is this luxurious? The cheapest BMW 1 Series is more luxurious than this.
that's how it sounds ince u test drive u get in love with it.... I tested a e350 then to this and this was much better
matt BMW=barley moves wheels
