Long distance cruisers don’t come much better suited to the job at hand than with a new Chrysler 300 SRT. The 2021 model has been tarted up to match the tech and style that new car buyers want to see in their cars today. Since the mid noughties the Chrysler 300 has been a go to car for those who love the pace, space, luxury and comfort of the striking looking sedan. They are big cars; big on comfort, big on style and big on power.
The 2021 Chrysler 300 SRT still uses the same LX platform that the very first model came with, but now each 2021 car comes loaded with up-to-date features and an elegant muscle-car styling that has been evolving into what is now a sensational and good-looking sedan. The powerful HEMI power plant is hidden behind a bold grille that is finished with a gloss black grid pattern and is similar in size to the big Audi grilles.
The face of the 2021 300 SRT is purely focused, boasting nice LED headlighting and DRLs. The low-profile front end also has a wide stance giving the nose of the SRT plenty of road presence. An SRT at the rear is finished with four-inch twin exhaust tips and an integrated boot lid spoiler. Down the side of the sedan is that trademark high waistline that gives the long and low sedan an intimidating look from any angle you care to look at the car. It is possible that this could be the last hurrah for the awesome 300 model, with incoming models from the Charger and Challenger due in 2023. Now is the time to get your hands on what could be the last of the final run. There are six exterior colours for the SRT versions to choose from and they are some of the nicest tones of any sport/luxury car on the market today.
Inside, the 2021 Chrysler 300 SRT cabin is the perfect balance of luxurious materials and textures. Aggressively bolstered SRT leather and suede seating keeps occupants firmly in place and comfortable, whilst a leather-wrapped flat-bottom SRT steering wheel provides drivers with a great grip on the car’s direction and control.

We’re finding a lot of car manufacturers are now down-sizing their engines and using turbo-charging to get decent power outputs, so it’s a breath of fresh air to see the V6 Pentaster with 210 kW still being offered on the 300C Luxury models, while the 300 SRT boasts the raw V8 engine that is synonymous with big power output and big performance. A prerequisite for an SRT Chrysler 300 is power, so, when the 6.4-litre HEMI V8 unleashes its full fury, then the glorious engine notes that growl their way through the revs is pure music to a petrol-head’s ears. The adrenaline-pumping 350 kW of power and 637 Nm of torque are still magnificent figures that you can buy new today. The legendary 6.4L HEMI V8 delivers aggressive acceleration and straight-line performance. It comes with Launch Control and is carefully calibrated to mitigate wheel spin during launch situations, improving straight-line acceleration. Drivers can activate the launch control system and pre-set launch RPM through the SRT Performance Pages in the driver’s display.
The 8-Speed automatic transmission ensures that the car catapults quickly from a standstill through a wave of ever-increasing speed. The 0-100km/h dash can be over in around 4.5 seconds, and the car runs through to a top speed of over 280 km/h. As with most cars, the big Chrysler 300 SRT V8 is most frugal when running out on the open road, where it lopes along effortlessly at around 9-10 litres/100 km. Once you get into built-up areas, the car is a thirsty beast.
Each new 2021 Chrysler 300 SRT luxury/sports sedan comes with a 3 year/100,000 km warranty and roadside assistance over this period. If you are/were into the old FPV or HSV sedans from Ford and Holden (They have since had their production stopped.), then here is a car that will make your day. And their purchase price, new, is nowhere near as expensive as an equivalent Audi, BMW or Mercedes luxury/sports sedan will be. A steal!
