If you are interested in purchasing a new 2021 Chrysler 300, then you may want to explore the powertrain options before you make the final decision. Keep in mind that both versions can be fitted with RWD or AWD and they all come paired to the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission.
The standard engine is a 3.6-litre V6. Generating 292 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, you can expect a fuel economy of around 12.4L/100 km (23 mpg) in the city and 7.8L/100 km (36 mpg) on the highway.

If you want the 300 S model, then you will gain access to the available 5.7-litre HEMI V8. Using the same transmission and drivetrain options, this robust motor delivers 363 hp and 294 lb-ft of torque (it offers just the RWD setup, however).
This engine uses a Multi-Displacement System and Fuel Saver Technology to deliver excellent power with stellar resource usage. Therefore, it achieves efficiencies as good as 14.7 L/100 km (16 mpg) in the city and 9.4 L/100 km (25 mpg) on the highway. The V8-equipped 300S also boasts dual rear exhaust tips to effectively take away waste products and electric power steering for further performance enhancements.
