What engine is in a Chrysler 300C?
Someone told me that Chryslers use the same engines as Mercedes, but there’s no way that’s true. I’ve driven a 2015 300C before and it’s nice, but it’s no Mercedes. What type of engines does Chrysler use in the 300C?

The 2015
Chrysler 300C
comes with a 3.6-liter V6 engine that makes 292 horsepower, but you can also upgrade to a 5.7L V8 engine that can produce 363 horsepower.The Chrysler is a modified version of a Mercedes engine, but the car’s handling is different than a
Mercedes-Benz
. The 300C is largely based on Mercedes, but it’s still a different car due to cosmetic changes and updates to the exterior of the car.If you drive a Mercedes with a model year between 1995 and 2003, it will likely be much more similar to the Chrysler 300C that you drove previously. The older Mercedes models are the basis for the Chrysler models of today, so driving a modern Mercedes won’t give you an accurate comparison.
Whether you’re considering purchasing a Chrysler 300C or a Mercedes or just interested in saving on your current
