2017 Chrysler 300 and Winter Driving
It goes without saying that the Chrysler 300 is a confident car, in looks and in performance. It’s got a powerful engine under the hood, a wide stance and enough weight to keep it from being tossed around the road in tough driving conditions. However, snow can be a curve ball even in the most capable vehicle. There are a few features that make the 2017 Chrysler 300 a great option for winter driving:
Available All-Wheel DriveÂ
The standard 2017 Chrysler 300 sedan has rear-wheel drive, which is not the best for winter driving, but the available all-wheel drive can add confidence and control to your next trip in slippery weather.
All-wheel drive may decrease your fuel efficiency by a bit, but the boost in handling performance can save you more than money down the road.
High-Tech Safety FeaturesÂ
The Chrysler 300 also offers ABS bakes that automatically sense when one of your tires has stopped rotation and helps you to regain control. Stability control also automatically senses when the 300’s handling is pushing the limits and will adjust the engine power and brakes to help prevent a loss of control.
