Chrysler 300 a real head-turner

A bold grille, brawny proportions and plenty of chrome combine to give the 2015 Chrysler 300 a distinguished appearance.

All-wheel-drive gives the big American sedan an intrepid personality while the 300's interior is luxurious and roomy. Chrysler offers the 300 in four trim levels with standard rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel-drive is available throughout the lineup.

The 300's size and weight were offset by a capable 3.6-liter V6 engine that delivers 292 horsepower. An optional V8 is available for those wanting more power. Chrysler's smooth shifting eight-speed automatic transmission conveyed the power to an optional all-wheel-drive system that seamlessly engages at any speed.

The 300's 19-inch wheels provided excellent traction as I navigated Boston's narrow, snow-choked streets. While electronic steering gave the sedan a heavy feel on the open road, the 300 was easy to maneuver at slower speeds. Four-wheel independent suspension provided precise handling while neutralizing frost heaves and other bumps. My 300C did 27 miles per gallon on the highway and 16 in the city.

My tester's dark gray exterior had an off-white leather interior with a black dashboard and black panels that extended into the upper half of the doors. A wood-and-leather-wrapped steering wheel was heated as were the front and rear seats. Front seats were also ventilated. I found ample head and foot room up front and my children had plenty of space in the second row on a day trip during February vacation. A power rear sunshade added to the 300's luxury.

The 300's center console had a streamlined appearance. A cluster of three dials tuned the radio, controlled the volume and the fan output. An 8.4-inch full-color touchscreen was intuitive and made programing the radio, navigation system and climate controls a hassle-free experience.

My Chrysler 300 tester was packed with safety technology including adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection and a lane departure warning system that keeps the sedan on the road. The 300 also had a high resolution rear-view camera for backing up that worked well as long as the camera's lens was clear of salt and other road grime.

The 300's steering wheel and instrument panel leaves drivers few reasons to take their eyes off the road. Hands-free calling, radio and adaptive cruise control can all be managed via steering-mounted buttons. A 7-inch display between the tachometer and speedometer can be customized by the driver.

The base model Chrysler 300 with rear-wheel-drive starts at $31,395 and my tester with the advanced safety technology topped out at $45,675. Other sedans to consider when looking at the 300 are the Buick LaCrosse, Kia Cadenza, Lincoln MKS and Toyota Avalon.
