Having better than average EPA (miles per gallon) for its class, it reduces fuel costs and pollution. The 300 has technology that is now expected: Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It handles mud, snow, and sand with ease with optional all-wheel drive (AWD). Chrysler offers a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, and a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2021 Chrysler 300 has a score of 82, implying a 0.04% chance of driver death (3.6% chance of injury). If equipped with optional advanced driver safety features, the chance of death falls to 0.037%, and the chance of injury falls to 3.3%.

    We estimate that the 2021 Chrysler 300 has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0397% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 4.5369%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0397% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 4.5369% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2021 Chrysler 300 is 15% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons, the 2021 Chrysler 300 is 21% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    2021 Chrysler 300 offers AEB optionally. With AEB, the vehicle lifetime fatality chance drops by 8%.

    Active safety features on the 2021 Chrysler 300 can protect loved ones by preventing accidents and reducing accident severity. The following active safety system is included even on lower trims/versions of the 2021 Chrysler 300: Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Active Braking & Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking System. There is an optional safety feature on the 2021 Chrysler 300 which may add to the cost but should be strongly considered --- Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM).

    Some safety technologies get a lot of press, but another may also improve safety. Optional side mirror turn signals alert others of your intention to turn or switch lanes allowing them to react accordingly, which can prevent accidents caused by not seeing a vehicle in the blind spot.

    And it is about as safe as many comparable models.
