The Chrysler Will Continue Into 2021, Will Lose A Lot Of Features

The Chrysler 300 is now more than 10 years old, with a platform from 2005. The flagship sedan is the only sedan left in Chrysler's dwindling lineup made up of mostly minivans. Its future is vague, but it will survive for the 2021 model year. But, it isn't moving on without losing a lot of luxury features.

The 300 currently has four trim levels: Touring/Touring L, 300S, Limited, and 300C. The top trims, Limited and 300C, are gone. That leaves the base Touring/Touring L and the sporty 300C. Going with the Limited and 300C are their luxurious, yet slow-selling features and options. That includes genuine wood trim, Nappa leather seats, and quilted seats. Besides that, Chrysler is making some restrictions and changes within the 300 lineup as well. For example, the Touring trims will only be available with Chrysler's Pentastar V6 engine. The 5.7 liter Hemi V8 engine is still available, but the 300S is the only trim that offers it, plus it now costs an extra $4,000.

More price increases include a $405 increase in the Touring trim's MSRP (it is now $31,940), as well as a $400 increase in the 300S trim's MSRP (it is now $37,395 not including Hemi engine). All wheel drive and front wheel drive are available on Touring/Touring L trims, while rear wheel drive is your only option in the 300S. These big cut-downs aren't necessarily a sign of its demise, it is really just cutting costs. But, that doesn't mean the 300 is safe.
