Comparison Review

Comfort
The Chrysler 300 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Volkswagen Arteon with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Volkswagen Arteon, the Chrysler 300 may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chrysler 300 as you will with the Volkswagen Arteon, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Chrysler 300 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Volkswagen Arteon.

Dimensions
The Chrysler 300 is a little wider than the Volkswagen Arteon, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Chrysler 300, which is slightly longer than the Volkswagen Arteon.

Handling
The Chrysler 300 has about the same turning radius as the Volkswagen Arteon, allowing equal maneuverability in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, it's basically a tie between the Chrysler 300 and the Volkswagen Arteon.

Powertrain
With its lower torque, the Chrysler 300 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Volkswagen Arteon.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Chrysler 300 and the Volkswagen Arteon.
