2014 Chrysler 300: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Chrysler 300 is mostly a carryover, and its most important update is the 300S’s darker exterior treatment and revised interior theme. Other changes are limited to a reshuffled trim lineup and the loss of the 300S flex-fuel option.
About the 2014 Chrysler 300
2nd generation (2011-2014), final year before the 2015 refresh.
The 2014 Chrysler 300 is a bold full-size sedan that tries to give buyers near-luxury style and comfort without fully stepping into luxury-brand pricing. Chrysler markets it around big American presence, a quiet cabin, rich materials, and a choice of rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or V8 power. What sets it apart is that it mixes old-school sedan proportions with modern touchscreen tech and a broad range that runs from comfortable cruiser to muscle sedan.
The base 300 is a well-equipped starting point, with a V6, an eight-speed automatic, heated leather-trimmed front seats, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen. The 300C focuses on comfort with real wood, navigation, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats, while the 300S adds a darker look and Beats audio. The SRT8 and less lavish SRT8 Core deliver a 470-hp 6.4-liter V8, strong brakes, and performance-focused suspension hardware.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The flexible-fuel powertrain option was dropped from the 300S. Otherwise, the basic engine and transmission lineup carried over, with the V6 using an eight-speed automatic and V8 models using a five-speed automatic.
Styling
The 300S received a darker black-chrome grille and taillamp treatment plus a revised interior theme. The new limited-availability Uptown Edition added bright exterior accents to the base 300.
Tech
Beats Audio became standard on the 300S.
