2015 Chrysler 300 SRT Review

In terms of infotainment, the 8.4-inch UConnect infotainment system in the 300 SRT Core comes with DAB+ digital radio streaming, Bluetooth telephone and audio streaming, USB connectivity and auxiliary input, along with six-speakers.

The more expensive 300 SRT core goes to town on features, bumping the seat trim up to an Alcantara/leather combination that includes heating in both rows and cooling in the front row. The steering wheel is also heated for good measure.

The infotainment system remains 8.4 inches in size and features satellite navigation and extra controls for adjusting suspension damping. Not to mention the heated/cooled cup holders and an epic 19-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system that is almost as loud as the 300 SRT’s exhaust.

Safety features include blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assistant, radar cruise control, autonomous emergency braking and rear cross traffic alert in addition to a full suite of front, side and rear airbags.

Unlike some of its competitors, the 300 SRT doesn’t really have a quiet mode. From when you start it to when you slam down the throttle, the car is always making a deep and somber noise from its exhaust. In the Track and Sport settings it gets louder again.

It can become a little trying at times. At 100km/h, for example, there is a drone through the cabin while the car plugs along at not much over 1000rpm.
