The 300 presents a luxury big-car design and style at an affordable price. The 2011 redesign gives the 300 an Audi-like appearance and presence, but prices start around $30,000. The lineup of powerful engines and available all-wheel drive mean the 300 also has performance credibility. Inside, a comprehensive list of standard equipment as well as safety technology means the 300 competes above its class in both features and price.

The 300 gets redesigned styling inside and out. The front is all-new, and gets a more streamlined appearance, with a smaller grille and new headlights and front spoiler, all of which strongly suggest Audi. The rear gets LED taillights, subtle chrome and integrated tailpipes. The base engine is a new 3.6L V6--more powerful and more efficient than the one that came on the 2010 model.
