2021 Audi A4 vs. 2021 Chrysler 300
The 2021 Chrysler 300 is a moderately sized car which has received praise for its fantastic appearance, formidable V8 engine and spacious cabin and cargo area. How does it compare to the 2021 Audi A4, a clean cut car with superb handling, advanced safety features, and off-road capability?
Design & Style
The Audi A4 comes in three trim levels, which are Premium Plus, Prestige and Premium. The grille of the newest edition is larger than previous generations, with wheel arches that are more pronounced. The exterior is conservative and sleek with a traditional Audi presentation, while inside the cabin many of the buttons and switches have been replaced by touch displays. The surfaces are covered in upscale materials such as polished aluminum, wood and leather with seats that feel comfortable to sit in.
The Chrysler 300 sits on seventeen inch wheels and also comes with 3 trim levels, which are 300S, Touring and Touring L. The exterior has rounded corners with an upmarket look and flanks that are slab sided. Buyers get the option of a decklid spoiler and within the cabin passengers will be presented with a spacious and comfortable environment.
Technology & Safety
When it comes to safety features, the Chrysler 300 is dated. It received a 4 star rating from federal testers, with its overlap protection being described as marginal while its headlights were rated poorly. However, it does come with emergency automated brakes as well as airbags. Amenities within its cabin include eight inch touch displays, dual USB chargers and air conditioning.
Audi is renowned for the safety of its vehicles and the A4 upholds this reputation. Federal testers gave it a perfect 5 star rating as it has all the modern countermeasures that drivers expect including automated emergency brakes, excellent outward vision, cruise control that is adaptive and lane control. The IIHS gave it the coveted Top Safety Pick award and amenities within its cabin include Apple CarPlay, climate control which covers three zones, heated/cooled seats and ten inch touch displays.
Performance
Those that purchase the Audi S4 will get a V6 turbo engine that can generate 349 horsepower, which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in about 4.4 seconds that is wedded to an automatic eight speed transmission. Those that purchase the Chrysler 300S will get a V8, 5.7 liter engine that can generate 363 horsepower with 394 pounds of torque which allows it to accelerate from zero to sixty in 6.3 seconds.
The Bottom Line
The Chrysler 300 has lousy safety credentials, its back seats are poorly shaped, it is not that fuel efficient, and the Audi A4 has larger touch displays and better performance, which makes it the winner.
