NHTSA // CRASH-TESTED
2022 Chrysler 300
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Chrysler 300 is a full-size rear-wheel-drive sedan that has long carved out a niche as an affordable American alternative to European sport sedans. Covering model years 2019 through 2023, this boldly styled four-door targets buyers who want imposing road presence, a roomy cabin, and V6 or V8 power without a luxury-brand price tag. It competes in a shrinking but loyal segment of large, performance-flavored sedans.
The 2022 Chrysler 300 earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 82 out of 100, an strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. It has 2 recalls on record, reflected in the score.
- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally praise the Chrysler 300 for its distinctive styling, strong V8 performance options, and spacious, upscale-feeling interior that punches above its price point. Most note that the platform is aging and that the technology and driver-assistance suite lag behind more modern competitors, making it a characterful but somewhat dated choice in its segment.
