2018 Chrysler 300: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2018 Chrysler 300 is a reshuffled trim ladder, led by the new Touring and Touring L. This is not a redesign; the car’s basic platform, V6, eight-speed automatic, and V6-based AWD setup carry over.
About the 2018 Chrysler 300
2nd generation (2011-2023), post-2015 refresh, late-cycle trim reshuffle year
The Chrysler 300 is a big, bold full-size sedan that leans on character more than efficiency. Chrysler sells it as a roomy, quiet, rear-drive American sedan with available AWD, strong V6 and V8 power, and a more traditional luxury feel than most front-drive rivals. Its core appeal is the mix of upright styling, a comfortable highway ride, a large cabin, and easy-to-use infotainment in a segment where this kind of rear-drive sedan had become rare.
The 2018 range starts with the straightforward V6 Touring, while Touring L adds leather and heated front seats and Limited moves further into comfort-focused luxury. The 300S has blacked-out styling and a sportier cabin, while the top 300C combines a standard 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with quilted leather, real wood trim, and adaptive headlights. An 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is a common thread across the lineup.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
V8 availability is narrowed to the 300S and 300C. The 300C switches to a standard 5.7-liter HEMI V8, and its flexible-fuel powertrain is dropped.
Styling
The lineup is reorganized around a clearer visual split. The 300S emphasizes blacked-out sport styling, while Limited and 300C lean into chrome and traditional luxury details. The 300S Alloy Edition and 300C Platinum are dropped.
Tech
Limited gains more standard comfort equipment, including ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and driver memory settings. On the 300C, the power and panoramic moonroof changes from standard to optional; the 8.4-inch touchscreen hardware otherwise carries over.
