The Chrysler 300 presents a distinctive style that is unlike anything else on the road, with the large front grille being the design's most prominent feature. Other features on the 300 include front and rear disc brakes, cast aluminum wheels, a keyless remote entry system, a folding rear seat, and power doors and windows. The Chrysler 300 is set for a redesign after the 2010 model year.
