There is some body roll in corners, but this thing is big - it can’t be completely avoided I suppose. The 300S package means the suspension is a wee bit stiffer but nothing too firm. For now there’s nothing lacking in the V6. Driving them both back to back would probably seal the deal one way or the other. The more I drove the car, the more I kept asking myself if I’m missing the V8’s effortless power. The smaller engine also feels like a good match for the silky eight-speed automatic. The V6’s 300 hp feels like plenty in most instances. The 3.6-liter V6 has good power, and if you want more Chrysler offers the Hemi for three grand additional. ![]() Besides, all the modern, fancy stuff is here, at least in the S model I’m driving: heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, remote start, adaptive bixenon HID headlamps, front/rear park assist, blind spot and cross path detection. Indeed noise has been cut and road manners are massaged enough to make the 300S feel quite a bit younger. It’s a big, comfortable car and goes down the road smoothly and quietly. In fact I enjoyed my time behind the 300S’ wheel. Our Opinion: Here we have a car going on 12 years old (6 in this generation), but in the case of the 300, that's not a criticism. Included are forward-collision warnings with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, active lane control, and adaptive cruise control, as well as automatic high-beam headlights.The 2018 Chrysler 300S comes standard with a 300-hp V6, upgraded models get a 363-hp Hemi V8.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the 2017 sedan Good ratings in frontal-impact tests, but Marginal in the small-overlap crash. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the 2018 model four stars overall, with a four-star rating for some frontal and side impacts. In recent years, crash-test scores for the Chrysler 300 have fallen behind rival sedans. An analog clock sits on the 300C dashboard.

Cloth upholstery is standard on the 2018 Chrysler 300, along with 17-inch wheels. Some trim groups have been revised for 2018. New Touring and Touring L trim levels have been added for the 2018 model year. The 2015 model year brought freshened styling and updated technology, but no major changes since.
