How much does the 2021 Chrysler 300 cost?

Prices have softened 9.56% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 514 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

If you find a listing below $20,390.66, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2021 Chrysler 300 a good car?

Yes — the 2021 Chrysler 300 earns a 4.6/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise the luxurious look, smooth ride, and impressive handling, and they also call out the comfort and acceleration. The 300’s traditional luxury-sedan character comes through clearly in the overview, where it is framed as a reasonably priced luxury sedan with rear-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive. The main trade-off is value: the expert review says it is poor value for money, so you are paying for a distinctive formula rather than the newest or most feature-rich alternative. Even so, 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2021 Chrysler 300 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to a vehicle that feels dependable in daily use, with praise centered on comfort, smoothness, and a trouble-free ownership experience. The expert review also describes the car as quiet and capable on the road, which supports the sense that it is built for steady long-term use rather than drama. On the ownership side, the warranty coverage is mid-pack, so a used example with a clean service history is the safer bet if you want to minimize long-term risk.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Chrysler 300?

At 68.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any prior damage affected structural areas, airbags, or safety systems. A pre-purchase inspection matters here because the car’s age and trim-dependent equipment can hide differences that are not obvious in photos. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and whether the features you want are actually present on the specific car you are considering.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base 300 Touring uses cloth upholstery and 17-inch wheels, while the Touring L adds Nappa leather and 18-inch polished alloys. The 300S brings perforated inserts, accent stitching, and standard 20-inch Black Noise wheels.
• Powertrain: The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 delivers 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque in the Touring and Touring L, while the 300S gets 300 horsepower and 264 pound-feet. The 300S also offers a 5.7-liter V8 with 363 horsepower and 394 pound-feet, and all engines use an eight-speed automatic.
• Safety package: Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are only available on the Touring L or 300S. The SafetyTec Plus Group adds forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane departure warning, and rain-sensing wipers.
• Infotainment: The 8.4-inch Uconnect 4C touchscreen is standard across the lineup, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard as well. The Popular Equipment Group adds navigation, a 506-watt amp, nine Alpine speakers, SiriusXM Traffic Plus, surround sound, a trunk-mounted subwoofer, and a dual-pane sunroof.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 with rear-wheel drive returns 19 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. AWD lowers that to 18 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. The V8-powered 300S returns 16 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined.

Which 2021 Chrysler 300 trim should I buy?

The 2021 Chrysler 300 is offered in 3 trim levels: 300 Touring, 300 Touring L, 300S.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The 300 Touring gives you the core formula, but it lacks the leather upholstery, upgraded wheels, and advanced safety features that make the higher trims feel more complete.
• Sweet-spot trim: The 300 Touring L is the best value if you want a more upscale cabin, standard Nappa leather, and access to important safety upgrades without jumping all the way to the sportier top trim.
• Premium/top trim: The 300S is the most desirable if you want the strongest mix of style and performance, with standard 20-inch wheels, perforated inserts, and the option of the V8.
• Off-road trim: Not applicable here.

The safety-package gap is important: blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are not standard on the base trim, so if those matter to you, shop Touring L or 300S.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Chrysler 300?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right car.

• Deal availability: 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 514 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.56% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 68.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $20,390.66, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Chrysler 300's resale value?

The current average of $20,474 sits slightly below last year's $22,638.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy more affordably now but may also limit near-term upside if you plan to sell soon. For a future seller, the key is to buy well and keep the car in strong condition, because a lower entry price can help protect your position later. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Chrysler 300 safe?

The 300 received top "Good" scores in all Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash tests except the small overlap tests, where it received a "Marginal" score. It also received a "Poor" rating for headlights. Over at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the 300 received a four-star overall crash test rating, with four-star driver and passenger side crash test ratings, and a four-star rollover rating. On the plus side, it received a five-star rating for NHTSA's combined side barrier and side pole crash test.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

All Chrysler 300s offer active head restraints, an arsenal of airbags, traction and stability control with brake assist, rain brake support, ready alert braking, and hill start assist.

The advanced driver-assistance features are not broadly standard, and that matters if you want the most safety equipment for your money. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are limited to higher trims, and the SafetyTec Plus Group adds forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane departure warning, and rain-sensing wipers. The IIHS headlight result is also a notable weak point, so you should pay close attention to lighting equipment on any used example.

Should I buy a 2021 Chrysler 300 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 68.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.56% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• You want a rare, reasonably priced luxury sedan with rear-wheel drive, available all-wheel drive, and a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 option.

The bottom line: If you want the classic Chrysler 300 formula, the 2021 model is the right pick because it delivers the same roomy, comfortable, traditional luxury-sedan experience at a softer price than last year. If you are especially price-sensitive, shop carefully for the best deal and prioritize condition and equipment over mileage alone, since the trim and option mix can change the ownership experience a lot.
