What changed for the 2022 Chrysler 300

The 2022 Chrysler 300 looks like a carryover from 2021 in the data we compare.

Compared automatically from the manufacturer's trim feature charts, specification sheets, towing guides and the EPA's fuel-economy data for 2021 and 2022. No trim equipment chart is on file for one of the two years, so equipment changes aren't listed. Equipment varies by trim and market; confirm details on a specific vehicle.

2022 Chrysler 300 fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2022 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).

Version	Engine	Transmission · drive	City	Hwy	Comb.	Fuel / yr	CO₂ g/mi
300	3.6L 6-cylinder	8-speed automatic · RWD	19MPG	30MPG	23MPG	$2,700	389

300 AWD	3.6L 6-cylinder	8-speed automatic · AWD	18MPG	27MPG	21MPG	$2,950	415

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.

Cold tire pressure: 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.
Lug nut torque: 130 ft-lb (176 N·m), M14 x 1.50 thread, 22 mm socket
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 (2022 Chrysler 300 Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2022 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.

2022 Chrysler 300 recalls & safety

What the U.S. government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has on file for the 2022 Chrysler 300: 2 recall campaigns, 5 owner complaints and crash-test ratings. Fetched November 8, 2026.

NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings

Version	Overall	Frontal	Side	Rollover
Chrysler 300 4 Dr AWD				11.3% risk
Chrysler 300 4 Dr RWD				11.3% risk

Stars compare vehicles of similar weight; rollover shows the tested chance of a rollover in a single-vehicle crash.

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.

Tires: pressure monitoring and regulating systemsOctober 27, 2022 · Campaign 22V808000

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 vehicles. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor battery may fail prematurely and cause the sensor to become inoperative. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

Risk: Inoperative TPMS sensors will not alert the driver to low tire pressure. In addition, a TPMS warning light that is already illuminated from a failed battery sensor will mask an actual tire pressure failure issue. Either of these scenarios can result in tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the TPMS sensors, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 10, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is ZB5. This recall is an expansion of previous recall number 22V-504.

Salt, snow and hills: the data

Reading the 2022 300 data for Great Lakes roads

We read the 2022 300 owner data, service schedule and spec sheets with Michigan 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.

Oil for a frozen-driveway start

The fluids table calls for SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30 (3.6L) and SAE 0W-20 (5.7L) at 6 qt (3.6L) and 7 qt (5.7L), with synthetic oil in the specification. Synthetic stock copes with both ends of this region's weather, from a subzero start in the Upper Peninsula to a loaded summer climb in the Smokies. Match the exact specification on the filler cap, not just the viscosity.

Battery checks before the cold

The spec sheet lists 730 cold-cranking amps. A 300 left at a lake cottage or in a pole barn for weeks slowly drains its battery, and a cold snap then finds it with nothing to spare. A plug-in maintainer for stored vehicles is cheap insurance in the Great Lakes states.

Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows

This model year offers rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. In Michigan, the payoff comes in the first hour of a storm, before plows reach side streets, and on boat ramps slick with algae where a two-wheel-drive tow vehicle can spin. Keep the system's limits in mind on ice: driven wheels add grip for going, not for stopping or turning.

Towing to the lake

Peak trailer rating this year: 1,000 lb, for one configuration in the towing chart. On Appalachian grades the descent is the harder half of the trip: drop to a lower gear so the engine holds speed, and save the brakes for stopping. The I-24 grade at Monteagle in Tennessee and the long climbs on the West Virginia Turnpike both punish a heavy trailer. Frequent towing also calls for transfer case fluid and axle fluid service.

Tank size for hill country

The 2022 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.

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