TCC’s Bottom Line

The Chrysler 300 is loaded with comfort and technology features, and it comes as either a near-luxury sedan, or an monstrously powerful muscle car.

The millionaire next door just might be driving a Hyundai Genesis; it's a luxury-car bargain, with a well-finished interior, plenty of power and good fuel economy.

TCC Likes

Matured styling that's still a standout
Responsive eight-speed automatic
Smooth, fuel-efficient V-6

Gutsy acceleration in either model
Rich, handsome interior
Smooth, quiet ride

TCC Dislikes

Five-speed auto on HEMI models
Ersatz Bentley Continental look is gone
Dash plastics attract dust

Harsh R-Spec ride
No all-wheel-drive option
Rearview camera an option on base car
