What’s New For The 2020 Chrysler 300?
The Chrysler 300 name started around 65 years ago, and it’s still going for 2020. In addition to a variety of paint options, such as Frostbite and Amethyst, the 2020 Chrysler 300 introduces the Red S Appearance package that includes a red interior, red badging, and 20-inch Black Noise wheels.

2020 Chrysler 300 Powertrain
Most 2020 Chrysler 300 models will have a 3.6-liter V6 engine making 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. These 300 models are standard with rear-wheel-drive, but have all-wheel-drive as an option. For those who want the most power, they will want the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine that’s available with the 300S as an option or standard with the 300C. Getting the Hemi bumps up the horsepower to 363 and adds some more torque at 384 lb-ft. RWD is the only available drivetrain with the Hemi engine though.
Chrysler 300 models with the V6 are capable of a 6.3 second 0-60 mph time, while the larger V8 knocks a full second off that time. As a larger car, the 2020 Chrysler 300 won’t be the most agile vehicle on the road. Compounding this, the large wheels found on the more expensive trims can lead to a less than luxurious feeling ride.
2020 Chrysler 300 Fuel Economy & MPG
As far as V6 cars are concerned, the fuel economy of the 2020 Chrysler 300 is adequate. V6 engines with RWD get 19 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. Those that opt for AWD drop to 18 mpg and 27 mpg, respectively. The worst fuel economy numbers comes in the form of the V8 engine’s 16 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. So if staying away from the fuel pump is a priority for you, steer clear of the that roaring Hemi.
Interior, Comfort, & Cargo Space
Though all versions of the 2020 Chrysler 300 have something to offer regarding comfort, the higher trims deliver greater luxury. The base Touring trim is one of the least alluring models, as it has cloth seating, no sunroof, and none of the interior touches other trims have. Jumping for the Touring L and above provides heated front seating with power adjustments, leather appointed upholstery, a sunroof, more interior lighting, and some more option packages to fully kit out the 300. Going beyond the Touring L only furthers the interior experience.
Speaking of seats, all five passengers will experience accommodating room, especially those in the front seats. If the 16.3 cubic feet of cargo space isn’t enough for all your things, the back seats can be lowered for some additional space at the expense of rear seating.
Entertainment & Technology
No matter which version of the 2020 Chrysler 300 you settle on, you can expect it to come with the standard Uconnect 4C infotainment system with an integrated 8.4-inch touchscreen. The system is intuitive and responsive, so you won’t have to worry about fiddling with it while driving. The Chrysler 300 is compatible with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, satellite and HD radio, and Bluetooth. Traveling up trim levels opens up the tech front to include navigation, remote start, and a premium Alpine sound system with a 506-watt amplifier. The 300 also has proximity-based access and starts with the press of a button, meaning that you won’t have to fiddle with your keys either.
Safety Features
Despite some areas of concern, the 2020 Chrysler 300 is quite safe overall, with a 4-star safety rating from the NHTSA. The available SafetyTec Plus driver’s assistance package makes up for the lack of standard advance safety tech by adding emergency braking, cruise control, lane departure warning, and parking sensors.

This trim is also opens up the Red S appearance package that updates the sedan with specialized badging, alternate 20-inch wheels, and a unique red interior. The Hemi V8 is optional for the 300S.
