2004 Chrysler 300M Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 13 reviews
This was the sixth and final production year for the Chrysler 300M. Daimler Chrysler was already in the process of developing a new look for the long-running 300 name, and a totally unique successor was about to emerge. Chrysler would retire the LH cab-forward design, and embrace a new platform borrowed from Mercedes Benz.
A potent 3.5 liter V-6 supplied the 300M's power, with 250 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque. This engine was built specifically for this platform, but it would be passed along to the next generation of 300s. The V-6 was paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, which featured Chrysler's AutoStick manual shifter. The 300M's fuel economy was rated at 19/27 mpg. Not bad considering its powerful engine and 3567 pound curb weight.
There were no major changes for this final year of production, but a navigation system with voice prompts was now available as an option. The 300M was designed with this purpose: offer drivers a blend of luxury and performance. The sedan had a well-appointed spacious interior, and the initial offering of the car was given a sports tuning. Later, when Chrysler split the 300M into two models, this version focused on luxury.
