2019 Chrysler 300 fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2019 Chrysler 300 at 19–23 MPG combined; the 3.6L 6-cylinder (RWD) is the most efficient and the 5.7L 8-cylinder (RWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard, which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare
The sheet lists no spare; the manual covers a compact spare and a non-matching full-size spare, neither with a pressure sensor, stowed under the trunk access cover.

Pressure monitor
A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2019 Chrysler 300 Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2019 Chrysler 300 maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.

Additional Inspections

  • Inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, boot seals, and replace if necessary
  • Inspect the rear axle fluidInspect the front axle fluid (All Wheel Drive Only).
  • Inspect the brake linings, replace as necessary
  • Adjust park brake on vehicles equipped with four wheel disc brakes

Recalls (2)

Newest first. A campaign covers certain vehicles of this model year, not necessarily every one. To see which apply to a specific vehicle, and whether the fix has been done, enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer; repairs are free of charge.

Air bags: side/window: curtain: inflatorMarch 14, 2024 · Campaign 24V198000

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) (Stellantis) is recalling certain 2018-2021 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 vehicles. The right and left side curtain air bag inflators may rupture due to a manufacturing defect.

Risk: An inflator rupture may result in sharp metal fragments striking occupants, resulting in injury or death.

Fix: Dealers will replace both side curtain air bags, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning February 20, 2025. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 19B.

Campaign 24V198000 on NHTSA.gov
Electrical system: instrument cluster/panelMarch 14, 2019 · Campaign 19V203000

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019 Dodge Challenger and Charger and Chrysler 300 vehicles. The instrument cluster may not properly illuminate driver warnings. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Control and Displays."

Risk: Failure of the instrument cluster to properly illuminate may prevent the driver from receiving warnings about the vehicle's systems, increasing the risk of crash.

Fix: Chrysler has notified owners, and dealers will update the instrument cluster software, free of charge. The recall began April 8, 2019. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is V32.

Great Lakes owner notes

The 2019 Chrysler 300 against salt, snow and steep grades

We read the 2019 300 owner data, service schedule and spec sheets with Indiana driving in mind: frozen starts, salted highways, cratered streets and hills. These are the figures worth acting on.

Sidewall height versus broken pavement

Squalls off Lake Michigan and Lake Erie can drop snow faster than plows keep up, and then tire compound matters more than anything else on the vehicle. Starting from the factory P215/65R17 size, a true winter tire on 17-inch wheels grips packed snow far better than an all-season and leaves sidewall for the potholes the next thaw brings.

What the manual says about oil

Oil capacity is 6 qt (3.6L) and 7 qt (5.7L), and the manual lists SAE 5W-20. Where more than one engine appears in the lineup, the engine code on the window sticker settles which grade applies. The wrong one in an Indiana winter gives up a little protection on every cold start, and over years of driveway starts that adds up.

Cranking power for a lake-effect morning

Rated battery output: 730 cold-cranking amps, measured at 0°F. A single-digit night in Traverse City or Fort Wayne cuts what the battery can deliver just as the stiff engine asks more of the starter. Past three winters, an October load test tells you more than the date sticker. Charging comes from a 160- to 180-amp alternator.

Which wheels do the pulling

Factory drive configurations for 2019: rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The same trim name can come with more than one drive system, so on a used 300 confirm it from the window sticker or a VIN decode rather than the badge. In west Michigan, where lake-effect bands can pile up several inches of snow in an hour, driving both axles is what gets a loaded vehicle up an icy driveway.

Tank size for hill country

The 2019 Chrysler 300 holds 18.5 gallons of fuel. Once you leave the interstate in West Virginia or eastern Kentucky, mountain routes can run a long way between stations, and the climbs burn more fuel than flat miles do. Fill up before heading into the hills.

Gravel hollow roads and the air filter

The schedule asks for more frequent air-filter attention in dusty conditions, beyond the normal replacement every 30,000 miles. Gravel roads up Appalachian hollows and coal-haul routes in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky qualify, so inspect the filter at each oil change if they are part of your week.

Octane from the owner data

The owner data specifies 87 octane, with 89 recommended. A higher grade than the manual asks for adds cost without benefit, while a lower one than required makes the engine pull back ignition timing, which shows most under load on a long Appalachian climb.

Data behind these notes: owner's manual capacities, the Mopar service schedule and factory spec sheets. Regional advice is general, written for drivers from Indiana to Tennessee.
