TCC’s Bottom Line

With its big footprint, big shoulders, and big V-8 power, the 2017 Chrysler 300 is an aging but charming sedan.

With standard rear-wheel drive and several flavors of V-6 and V-8 power on offer, the 2017 Dodge Charger is a large family sedan with the heart of a proper muscle car.

TCC Likes

Bold, American style
Gutsy V-8
Smooth, fuel-efficient V-6

Rear-wheel drive V-8 performance at an affordable price
Even the V-6 is impressive
Terrific handling and ride quality

TCC Dislikes

No SRT performance models available
All-black cabins on most models can be somber
Dash plastics attract dust

Heavy and thirsty with the V-8
Interior can feel a little low buck against luxury rivals
All-wheel drive only with V-6
