The 2021 BMW 7-Series is the flagship BMW sedan and so no effort was spared to ensure that this large sedan reflects the best of BMW engineering. The 7-Series is decked out with creature comforts that make it an outstanding executive car. However, despite the large size the car is a thrill to drive and handles like a sports car. On the other hand, the 2021 Chrysler 300 is also fairly large and comes with a choice of a V6 or a V8 engine. Unlike the 7-Series, the 300 suffers from build quality. The cabin features plenty of sub-standard materials that make it hard for this car to compete with its rivals. Here is a comparison between these two large sedans.
Design & Style
Given its status on the BMW range of vehicles, the 2021 7-Series is an outstanding sedan that exemplifies what a luxury sedan should look like. From soft leather-covered seats to polished silver knobs, the 7-Series is a luxury hotel suite on wheels. The cabin is roomy with instruments exactly where you would expect them. For those looking to be chauffeured in this luxury sedan, BMW offers an extended wheelbase version with even more legroom at the back. When it comes to the 2021 Chrysler 300, the styling in the cabin is attractive but feels a little dated. In higher trims, you get a leather-covered steering wheel as well as some premium materials in other places. But the 300’s cabin is a far cry from the luxurious interior of the 7-Series.
Technology & Safety
The BMW 7-Series comes with so much tech as standard that most other cars in this category cannot keep up. Satellite navigation, 12-inch infotainment display that handles, voice, touch, and even gesture commands. You also get wireless charging, smartphone integration, adaptive cruise control, and a lot more. When it comes to the Chrysler 300, some tech is available as standard including an 8-inch touchscreen that controls the infotainment system, smartphone integration, and more. Most of the good stuff however such as wireless charging or satellite navigation are only available as options.
Performance
When it comes to what is under the hood, buyers of the 2021 7-Series can expect to get a choice of engines namely a V6, V8, and V12 turbocharged engines. All three are superb and propel this large sedan at an unbelievable speed. Acceleration is not only powerful but remarkably smooth, thanks in part to a finely tuned transmission. The cabin is comfortable, quiet and road imperfections are cancelled out long before they get into the cabin. The 2021 Chrysler 300 on the other hand comes with a choice of V6 and V8 engines. Power is not a problem here but ride quality is. The cabin is not properly insulated and the stiff suspension makes for an uncomfortable ride.
The Bottom Line
While these two large sedans have a lot to offer, only one is truly an executive sedan. The BMW 7-Series cocoons its passengers in a cloud of luxury while delivering ride dynamics that are comparable to a sports car. This makes it the undisputed winner in this comparison.
