2016 Chrysler 300C: Overview, Pricing, Release Date

Overview

The 2016 Chrysler 300C will return for another model year and continue the path in which the 2015 travelled. The 300C represents the brand's most luxurious model. It's a full-size sedan with muscular stance and unmistakable grille. In 2015, the model received updated styling and a more well-thought out interior with tasteful materials and trim pieces. Moreover, it received a nice batch of safety updates.

For 2016, the model continues largely unchanged. It will still come with a 3.6L V6 which produces 300 horsepower and 264 lb-ft worth of torque. The engine will be paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission which will help it to earn 19/31 mpg in RWD configuration. If buyers opt for the available AWD drivetrain, fuel economy takes a noticeable hit and will eek out 18/27 mpg. That being said, buyers in regions of the country with more inclimate weather will find the AWD a necessity.

Two trims will also continue to be offered: Base and Platinum. Both RWD and AWD drivetrains will also be offered for each trim.

Pricing

Pricing for the 2016 Chrysler 300C will start at $39,065 for the Base RWD trim, which includes the mandatory $995 destination charge. Pricing for the more upscale Platinum RWD trim will start at $43,390. Both prices represent mild $230 and $50 price increases, respectively.

Release Date

No official release date for the 2016 Chrysler 300C has been announced, but look for it to go on sale later this year.
