“I would prefer to turn the sound system off and it stay off instead of coming on every time I start the vehicle. I did not think it was a big deal when I purchased the car, now, it is kind of annoying.”
2015 Chrysler 300: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Chrysler 300 gets a meaningful mid-cycle refresh, led by updated exterior styling and a redesigned cabin. The eight-speed automatic also expands to every trim, including V8 models.
About the 2015 Chrysler 300
2nd generation (2011-2023), mid-cycle refresh year.
The 300 is Chrysler's big, bold American sedan: roomy, quiet, rear-drive based, and styled to stand apart from front-drive family sedans. Chrysler marketed it as a more expressive, more premium alternative to mainstream large cars, with upscale cabin materials, a large touchscreen, available AWD, and on upper trims the option of V8 power. Its appeal is the mix of comfort, presence, and traditional big-sedan character without needing to step into a luxury-brand badge.
The 300 Limited is the comfort-focused starting point, with heated leather-trimmed seats and an 8.4-inch touchscreen. The 300S takes a sportier approach with a 300-hp V6, quicker responses in Sport mode, blacked-out trim, and premium BeatsAudio. The luxury-focused 300C brings navigation and a panoramic sunroof, while the new 300C Platinum adds quilted Nappa leather, real wood, and more leather-covered cabin surfaces.

2015 Chrysler 300 Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2015 Chrysler 300.
4.4
2015 Chrysler 300
(250 reviews)
“The only problem I can see, is the large blind spot in the rear view mirrors, until they are adjusted outward to view the area. My headlights seem to be a bit high, as I do a lot of night driving, and am always getting the DIM (flash) signal either on 2 land or 4 lane highways, lower lights are not on.. I think DRIVE WITH PRIDE about sums it up”
“It is a very nice vehicle, gets good gas mileage, cruise is great, easy to drive BUT we are missing the space, easy access to rear seat with sliding doors from driving minivans for 24 years, no automatic door opening, head space, arm rests are not at the right position for comfort. We already are planning on returning to a minivan of some kind (not Chrysler) as soon as we can afford the change.”
