Chrysler 300 Engines and Transmissions

Every Chrysler 300 engine here is gasoline-fuelled, built around large-displacement V8s that favour effortless low-end pull over high revs. The powertrain sends drive rearward through an automatic transmission, so this drivetrain rewards relaxed cruising: overtaking rarely demands a downshift, and performance arrives calmly rather than abruptly.
