On the outside, the 300S now gets body color door handles and front bumper inserts. The grill is now finished in dark chrome with the Chrysler badge in a brighter chrome finish. Buyers can also specify a gloss black roof as an option. Rear-wheel drive cars get 20in wheels, and all-wheel drive cars have 19in wheels. Both wheels have the same design with Gunmetal Gray spokes with black accents. Dark Ceramic Gray has been added as an exterior color option.

The interior of the 300S gets standard 12-way adjustable power driver’s and passenger’s seats in either black or Ambassador Blue Nappa leather with silver stitching. The center console armrest and door armrests are covered in the same leather. The center console, instrument panel, steering wheel, gauge cluster and door panels all get Piano Black gloss trim. The 8.4in Uconnect infotainment system is standard, and the 300S also gets a 10-spoeaker stereo from Beats by Dr. Dre.

The 300S is available with a 3.6-liter V6 with standard cold air intake and sport exhaust to produce 300hp and 264lb-ft of torque with an eight-speed automatic transmission and either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The steering is tuned to be 25% quicker and 20% heavier in the center than the standard 300.

It is also available with a 5.7-liter V8 with 370hp and an eight-speed automatic.
