In addition to incredible power, the Chrysler 300 series models offer unmatched handling, improved fuel efficiency, and an overall fun-to-drive quality.

A boost in power and fuel efficiency is a result of the addition of three gear ratios in the transmission design. These provide evenly spaced ratios that produce even brisker acceleration and smoother shifts.

In addition, the new eight-speed automatic transmission delivers even better fuel economy with the fuel-efficient 3.6 Pentastar V-6 engine and the segment-leading AWD system for ultimate traction and efficiency in any type of weather. In comparison with the older six-cylinder Chrysler 300 AWD models, the new Chrysler 300 Limited and 300S (V-6) AWD models provide a whole new level of fuel efficiency.

Shoppers at the Chrysler dealer serving Richmond VA will find that the 300′s AWD system is capable of improving fuel efficiency by up to 5 percent. The innovative AWD system transitions between rear-wheel drive and AWD with no driver intervention. And, when all-wheel drive isn’t necessary, the system automatically disconnects the front axle to maximize fuel economy while still providing the outstanding fun-to-drive performance and handling inherent in rear-wheel-drive vehicles.
