The Chrysler 300's stellar good looks are obvious, but did you know it has the heart of a seasoned race car just beneath its muscular body? Our Cambridge, OH Dunning Motor Sales Inc team should know. We had the privilege of test-driving this legendary full-size luxury sedan. Here are some of our favorite Chrysler 300 performance features.
The Front Axle Disconnect
It sounds fancy, but it's quite simple. A front axle disconnect lets you disengage the Chrysler 300's all-wheel drive, switching to rear-wheel drive. RWD enhances power and traction, helping maintain wheel torque and stability around fast corners or during tight maneuvers. The feature really comes in handy on uneven terrain or in adverse weather.
Two Beefy Engines
The Chrysler 300 engine lineup bespeaks luxury. There's a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and a 5.7-liter HEMI V8. Plus, when Sport Mode is equipped, the Chrysler 300 pairs either of its engines with pedal and paddle shift response, maximizing transmission and electric power steering for a truly sport-tuned driving experience.
