Goss Dodge Chrysler Discusses the Chrysler 300 Engine Choices

When you choose the 2013 Chrysler 300 full-sized sedan, you've made a fine choice indeed, dear reader. With both elegance and affordability high, luxurious amenities and features to dream about, and the performance you need, there's nary an aspect to turn your nose up at. But you still have a choice to make: there are two engine options and you have to decide which is best for you.

The first is the 3.6L DOHC VVT Pentastar V6 engine, available on every 300 model; a perfect balance of power and efficiency to get you up to speed without the need to stop at every pump you see. The valve variable timing engine kicks out a serious 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque that will sink you into your seat. With an EPA estimated fuel economy of 19 mpg in the city and 31 on the highway¹, keep the cash in your pocket and the smile on your face.

The second has an old-school muscle feel: the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine, available on the 300S, 300C, and 300C Luxury Series models. The 363 ponies explode out of the hood with a neck-snapping 394 lb-ft of torque. Fuel Saver Technology allows for a seamless transition from eight cylinders to four while at cruising speed, to save you cash on those long highway trips. Speaking of which, it achieves an EPA estimated 16 miles per gallon the city and 25 on the highway.²
