There is nothing small about the 2022 Chrysler 300. It's a large sedan in nearly every sense of the word, with a spacious, upscale interior, a long wheelbase for a smooth ride, and muscular engines to move more than two tons of mass. Top it all off with an in-your-face design and the only thing that's quiet about the 300 is its almost total lack of noise on the road.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

9/22/2021

Like a character in a video game, the current-generation Chrysler 300 simply respawns every year. Though Chrysler has made continual improvements to the car during its near 20-year run (including a substantial refresh more a decade ago), it isn't far removed from the sedan that debuted to significant fanfare for the 2005 model year. That means it comes with a V6 or a V8 engine, rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, and a full-size interior that can carry five adults.

One reason for the 300's longevity is that its rivals are increasingly fading to black. Few large cars remain available anymore, and none offer the Bentley-on-a-budget styling that continues to make the Chrysler 300 appealing. But if you want a brand-new 300, we recommend that you act sooner than later because the automotive Grim Reaper is coming for this car as it exists in its current form. Check out our Expert Rating below to learn more of what our test team thinks of the 300.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Average

7.6

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Chrysler 300 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the 300 drive? The 300 is built for smooth and powerful cruising, and it hits the mark. The optional V8 muscles the big sedan forward without drama, but lean into it with gusto and you'll be met with a rumbling exhaust note and powerful thrust. An eight-speed automatic transmission offers crisp and clean shifts, and some models come with paddles to take over when you like.

This isn't a sport sedan, even in taut 300S guise, but it does handle athletic tests well. The brake pedal is responsive with plenty of stopping power. The steering is light and it's easy to turn at low speeds, and the steering firms up at highway speeds to give you a better feel of heft. But on tight turns, the 300 makes its mass felt, even with a stiffened suspension and sticky tires on the 300S version.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the 300? Chrysler delivers on its premium, near-luxury promise inside the cabin. Very little road noise, and only slightly more from the wind, is apparent when the 300 is rolling along. The climate control system works impressively fast and is easy to operate through the main controls. The seats are also plush and supportive, and even sportier 300S versions prioritize comfort.

Overall, though, the ride is more stiff than you might expect. Our 300S test car had a suspension that couldn't quite keep rough roads from being felt in the interior. Yet it doesn't detract from an otherwise serene drive. We also expect non-300S models handle bumps more effectively.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The 300 sometimes feels like more of a house than a car. Interior space is massive and one of the main reasons to consider purchasing one. Five passengers fit easily and four fit like kings. The big door openings and flat roofline make it easy to slide in and out. It offers a huge array of seat and steering wheel adjustments to accommodate drivers of all shapes and sizes.

Big sedans unfortunately come with big blind spots. The high shoulder line and large pillars are difficult to see around, especially when looking out the rear. Lane changes should be made with care. Thank goodness for a clear and crisp standard rearview camera.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The factory navigation system is easy to use with simple graphics, if you opt for it. And if you don't, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility is standard. The nine-speaker Alpine audio system is an add-on, and it provides plenty of thump.

Safety features such as blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are helpful, and additional features such as front and rear parking sensors, lane departure and lane keeping assist are available in packages. Available voice controls are fairly rudimentary but effective, and tech features such as remote start, car finder and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot are optional as well.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? Chrysler made good use of available space in the 300. Room in the trunk, at 16.3 cubic feet, is very good for the class, especially considering the rear-wheel-drive hardware underneath. The trunk is slightly narrow between the wheels, but otherwise it's a standout in the large sedan class. Interior storage is also good, with plenty of cupholders and a wide center console hold that's perfect for small items.

The back seats fold down in a 60/40 split and have easy-to-access anchor points for child car seats. Larger rear-facing child seats should be no problem to install because there is so much space between the rear seats and the front. You can even get three of them side by side, and the ample door openings make installation a snap.

Fuel Economy

6/10

How’s the fuel economy? The V8-powered 300S is estimated by the EPA to get 19 mpg combined (16 city/25 highway). We averaged 17 mpg in our combined testing miles, with an 18.6 mpg average on our highway-heavy evaluation loop that should have returned a result in the low 20s.

Value

7/10

Is the 300 a good value? The 300's interior is solidly built. Chrysler paid a lot of attention to fit and finish, and the quality of the materials is also pleasing. But the pricing can run uncomfortably high, especially if you get the V8 and a bunch of optional features. At that point, you might consider buying a luxury-branded sedan. Chrysler's warranty coverage is average.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The 300's rather timeless design is a rarity in an industry that changes drastically every few years. It backs up that classic look with a focus on interior space and smooth performance. You do have to choose between the too hard 300S and the too soft versions, but the 300 makes up for it with a combination of airtight luxury and intoxicating style.

2022 Chrysler 300 trim level differences

The 2022 Chrysler 300 is a full-size sedan available in Touring, Touring L and S trim levels. Each is equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission powering the rear wheels. The V6 generates 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque in the Touring and Touring L, and 300 hp and 264 lb-ft in the S. All-wheel drive is an option with Touring and Touring L trim. Chrysler also offers a 5.7-liter V8 (363 hp, 394 lb-ft) in the 300S. Compare the 2022 Chrysler 300 trim levels in-depth.

Which 300 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Unless you want the V8 engine that's available only in the 300S, the 300 Touring L is our recommendation. It offers a softer suspension than the 300S for a more comfortable ride, and it's available with all-wheel drive for added traction when the snow flies. For 2022, the Touring L now comes standard with black trim elements and the same 20-inch wheels as the 300S.

Recall Number:: 22V808000
Manufacturer Recall Number:: ZB5
Number of vehicles affected:: 44212
Defect Description:: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 vehicles. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor battery may fail prematurely and cause the sensor to become inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
Defect Consequence:: Inoperative TPMS sensors will not alert the driver to low tire pressure. In addition, a TPMS warning light that is already illuminated from a failed battery sensor will mask an actual tire pressure failure issue. Either of these scenarios can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action:: Dealers will inspect and replace the TPMS sensors, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 10, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is ZB5. This recall is an expansion of previous recall number 22V-504.
