That isn’t to say that the Chrysler 300 is behind the times. Rear-wheel-drive models with the V6 engine are EPA-rated up to 30 mpg on the highway. And the standard Uconnect infotainment system is one of the best you can buy. But what really sets the 300 apart is its attitude, as evidenced by a bold front grille, extremely roomy interior and available 363-horsepower V8.

There is a nice balance of new and old in the Chrysler 300. The car has integrated technology and higher-quality materials over the years to keep pace with fresher competitors. It’s a survivor among large sedans and a worthy candidate for buyers who still like feeling some muscle beneath their feet.
