2028 Chrysler 300 sedan?

The illustration above shows what many are still wishing for: a next-generation Chrysler 300 sedan. One that, once again, could find some inspiration from Bentley.

While I personally never saw it, many thought the 1st generation from 2005 resembled a Bentley. I think Chrysler could do much worse than offering a Bentley-inspired new sedan within a year or two.

Of course, a new 300 could easily be based on the STLA platform from Stellantis. Which would also mean a variety of powertrains, including a Turbo inline 6 cylinder gas engine, a PHEV, and an EV. Since Dodge is also working on a V8 Charger, a Chrysler 300 V8 could also make a comeback.

Of course, the key to all this is the ever-shrinking sedan market. Especially the near-luxury sedan. As has been the case for decades at Chrysler, value could be the savior here. Offering more for less. Something a bit flashy and impressive. The affordable luxury dream. Just like in the old Lee Iacocca days. Which is back when Chrysler was doing very, very well.

A luxury sedan like the Genesis G80 starts at around $58,000. A loaded Honda Accord with accessories is under $42,000. I would imagine an upscale-looking larger sedan, like a new 30,0 could find quite a few takes at under $50,000. The Dodge Charger R/T 4-door will start at around $52,000. That’s with a 420 HP inline 6 cylinder engine.

Chrysler could easily lower the price even more by offering a base model 300 sedan with less power.

I say, why not!
