Chrysler’s 300 Limited, 300S, and 300C sedans span a wide range of looks, features, and prices, putting them in competition with a wide swath of the market.
The design-forward look of the 300 stands out from the crowd, but there are some worthy alternatives.
Hyundai’s Genesis offers a path to even greater luxury than the 300C Platinum, but in a more generic looking (and feeling) package.
Ford’s Taurus is available in sporty SHO trim, but its slightly cramped interior may not be for everyone.
The Buick LaCrosse offers slightly better gas mileage in some forms, but is also more staid in style and comfort-oriented in performance than the 300.
The redesigned Nissan Maxima has an upscale and sporty look and all the modern tech, but it's smaller size gives it mid-size space.

With rear-wheel drive and available V-8 power, the 2016 Dodge Charger is a family sedan with a muscle-car heartbeat. |
The 2016 Ford Taurus is the biggest sedan in its lineup, but it's short on rear-seat room, and it's beginning to feel its age. |
The 2016 Hyundai Genesis Coupe appeals to a more limited group than it used to; but it straddles the line between budget sports car and refined touring coupe in all the right ways. |
The 2016 Nissan Maxima locks in an arresting shape and charming front-drive road manners, in its quest to distance itself from the Altima. |
