FIRST DRIVE VERDICT

Chrysler’s new 300 range delivers on the high expectations of new Fiat/Chrysler products. The range is vastly improved overall in performance, quality, efficiency, and value.

Whether the Australian market will embrace another large, rear-wheel-drive sedan remains to be seen, but there are definite highlights among the range that could put yet another dent in Falcon and Commodore sales.

At $66,000, the barnstorming SRT8 is a cheaper, more powerful, better equipped and likely faster alternative to FPV’s GT or the HSV Clubsport R8.

The diesel V6 is a nice drive, and delivers impressive economy considering the 300’s significant weight.

But, for $5000 less, we agree with Chrysler’s expectation that the petrol V6 will be the volume seller, and the eight-speed auto is a nice little bonus to boot.
