What Changed

Chrysler redesigned the 300 for 2011. The restyled exterior is evolutionary retaining the blocky styling, but the edges are more toned and proportional. The interior loses its square styling and has a new more rounded instrument panel with a prominent center display. There is less variety in the powertrains. All models equip either a 3.6l V6 rated at 292-bhp or a 5.7l V8 rated at 363-bhp. All-wheel-drive is still offered but only on the top model.
