Chrysler 300 News

This common Australian Highway Patrol car ceased to exist as a new car several years ago, but a rebirth is now rumoured.A report from the Detroit Free Press states that the Chrysler 300 sedan is coming back.Chrysler boss, Christine Feuell, told the Detroit Free Press the company needs to expand beyond its current people-mover range in the US and a return of the 300 sedan is a possibility.“I believe the car segment is ripe for growth and resurgence,” Feuell said.She described a “high level of confidence in our road map and ability to launch these products.”It is believed the Halcyon concept car, which debuted in 2024, could form the basis for the reinvented 300.This means it’s likely the 300 will be an electric car and built on parent company Stellantis’ STLA platform that underpins electric vehicles such as the Dodge Charger EV, Jeep Recon electric off-roader and Jeep Wagoneer large SUV.It would likely be closely aligned with the Charger EV. This means it could use a mega 100kWh battery paired with 400-volt charging architecture and electric motors that churn out a monster 500kW and 850Nm, with a claimed range of 420km and a 0-100km/h time of 3.3 seconds…ooft.  That’s a big jump in performance from the 350kW/637Nm 6.4-litre Hemi V8 from the old 300 SRT Highway patrol cars that helped them sprint to 100km/h from a standstill in the mid-4.0 second range.There is no guarantee that if the Halcyon concept becomes a reality that it will be adopted by Highway Patrols around Australia with the diesel-powered BMW 530d currently on duty.The BMWs are powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder diesel that generates 195kW and 620Nm — enough to produce a 5.7 second 0-100km/h sprint — while sipping just 4.7L/100km.

Chrysler never sold a 300 ute, but one company has solved that issue so long as you're willing to bring your own donor car.
