Chrysler overhauls their flagship 300

While it was already one of the most popular models available on our lots, the designers at our automaker certainly did not rest on their laurels when it came time to design the all-new Chrysler 300. See what they've come up with for 2015, below.


Isn't that an awesome new ad? As you may have noticed, the model upgrades start right on the exterior. Retaining much of its iconic shape, the model now features stylish touches like a bold new grille design, advanced lighting, trapezoidal exhaust outlets, and chrome accents. Housed within that beautiful new exterior is an equally well-equipped passenger compartment, highlighted by sweet new tech features like the 8.4-inch touchscreen UConnect infotainment system. And under the hood, a new V6 delights its pilots.

Here at Allen Samuels Aransas Pass, our goal is to make you happy every time you visit. So whether you're looking for a new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM car, or you need regular maintenance on your vehicle, our staff will work hard to make your experience enjoyable.

All-New 2015 Chrysler 300 Wins Top Honor as "Car of Texas" From the Texas Auto Writers Association

 The all-new 2015 Chrysler 300 took the highest award as the Car of Texas at the Texas Auto Roundup hosted by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA). Dodge, Jeep® and Alfa Romeo brands also won accolades this year.  

After a day of demanding driving at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, journalists voted for their favorite vehicles and FCA US secured eight of the possible 20 awards, the most of any manufacturer at the event. 

"FCA US brought an amazing array of vehicles this year. It was truly an all-star lineup.  Our members were especially impressed with the 2015 Chrysler 300 and the Dodge Hellcats," said Michael Marrs, President of TAWA. "In fact, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat was the most driven car for the entire day."

When Chrysler last updated its 300 in 2011, the fullsize sedan market was a very different place than it is today. Ford's redesigned Taurus was in showrooms, sure, but segment stalwarts like the Toyota Avalon and Chevrolet Impala were languishing at the tail end of their model cycles.

And still, the second-generation 300 (not counting the "letter series" cars from the 1950s and '60s, of course) failed to recapitulate the booming success of the model reboot in 2004. Something in the combination of the down economy, higher gas prices and great product from front-wheel-drive entries in the class kept the 300 from the six-digit sales numbers it saw in the early 2000s.

For the 2015 model year, Chrysler hopes that a more clearly defined purpose for its big sedan, combined with liberal dipping into the corporate tech toy box, will rekindle buyer interest. Considering the mild characters and front-driver dynamics of its mainstream competition, the promise of V8 power and rear-wheel drive should at least turn the heads of those looking for a car with a little edge.
