Commuting to work in Phoenix can make you consider moving away on that basis alone. The average commute time is just under 46 minutes, but when you tack on a traffic accident or dust storm, commuting can feel much worse. Thankfully, the 2018 Chrysler 300 is here to save the day. Here is why the Chrysler 300 is a superb option for your Phoenix commute.
Safety and Navigation
Opting for the navigation package will get you several great features to make your commute a little less stressful and give you a moment to enjoy some music or a podcast. To accomplish this, the Chrysler 300 navigation package includes driver-assist technologies such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot notifications, and lane-departure warnings.
Did you run into a heap of traffic? Dashboard navigation allows you to easily alter your route through a few simple screen interactions. Just plan an alternate route and then continue jamming out to your favorite tunes.
Plenty of Power
While the overall appearance of the 300 hasn’t changed a great deal from earlier models, the Chrysler 300 is not without some new tricks. This becomes apparent when looking at the new model’s specifications. The engine options include a 3.6-liter V-6 and a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, giving the driver some power behind the wheel. When choosing an engine, the two extra cylinders will cost you a bit more at the pump but will get you between 60 and 70 more horsepower than the V-6, depending on the configuration. The Chrysler 300 with the V-6 will get an estimated 19 to 30 miles per gallon, while the V-8 will get you 18 to 27 mpg.
The Chrysler 300 comes standard with rear-wheel drive, giving it a muscle car type of feel behind the wheel. Rear-wheel-drive cars typically don’t handle as well in the snow, but fortunately, Phoenix averages zero inches of snow annually. If you still want some additional peace of mind, an all-wheel-drive option is available.
Comfortable Interior and First-Class Entertainment
Driving to work for nearly an hour each way can get cumbersome. Thankfully the 300 has a luxurious interior that’s perfect for cramp-inducing commutes. The base trims include power seating and adjustable lumbar support. Dual-zone climate control is also standard, so if you’re carpooling, you and your passenger will be comfortable during your ride. If you’re taking a road trip out of the desert to a colder climate, heated seats and a heated steering wheel are also available. As you increase the trim level, you also gain features like heated rear seats and cooled front seats.
Did you forget to download your favorite podcast before hitting the road? Don’t worry; the 2018 Chrysler 300 has onboard Wi-Fi to allow streaming music and media. Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth connectivity all come standard. Chrysler’s uConnect infotainment system is easy to use and intuitive and will keep you entertained on the long commute.
No matter what the Phoenix commute throws your way, you can rest assured that the 2018 Chrysler 300 will be able to handle it and help you overcome any challenge. Nothing can stand in your way as you conquer the daily grind from nine to five in a 2018 Chrysler 300.
