The 2021 Chrysler 300 will only be offered
in two forms for the latest model year. A dealer order guide has revealed that
the latest 300 will only be offered in Touring and 300S specifications. Touring
variants will be offered in rear- and all-wheel drive specifications while the
300S will be sold exclusively with rear-wheel drive. Variants being
discontinued are the Limited and 300C trims.
Cars Direct reports that features
including Nappa leather, quilted seats, and wood interior trim won’t be
available anymore with the demise of the Limited and 300C. Sitting at the base
of the 2021 Chrysler 300 range will be the Touring priced from US$ 31,490 with
destination and arriving as standard with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine
producing 292 hp and 352 Nm of torque while paired to an
eight-speed automatic transmission. Pricing has increased US$ 405 from last year’s
Chrysler 300 Touring.
As for the Chrysler 300S, it starts at US$ 38,990 with the same 3.6-liter V6 but upgraded to 300 hp and 358
Nm of torque. Those on the hunt for more power can opt for the 5.7-liter V8
for an extra US$ 4000. This engine is good for 363 hp and 534 Nm of
torque and the US$ 42,890 sticker price makes it US$ 1,400 more expensive than the
2020 model.
The Chrysler 300 is thought to be on its
last legs and this is no surprise as it has been in production in
second-generation guise since December 2010. With the continual shift towards
SUVs and crossovers, we wouldn’t be surprised if 2021 is the final year of the
model.
