Chrysler Australia has increased the pricing of two of the MY21 300 large sedan’s three variants a month after the other significantly jumped in cost.

Specifically, the entry-level 300C Luxury is now $600 dearer, at $60,650 plus on-road costs, while the flagship 300 SRT has become $800 more expensive, at $78,250. The mid-range 300 SRT Core recently copped a $6500 price, with it currently priced from $72,450.

Like the 300 SRT Core, no changes have been made to the 300C Luxury and 300 SRT’s standard equipment, with a Chrysler Australia spokesperson telling CarsGuide “the usual external factors” again prompted the cost adjustments.

Of note, the 300C Luxury and 300 SRT Core are only available via special order, with locals keen to secure an example of the last mainstream V8 rear-wheel-drive sedan on sale more likely to walk away with the full-time 300 SRT, limited stock of which is on offer to private buyers.

As reported, the 300 and the wider Chrysler brand are all but confirmed to be exiting the Australian market in the near future, with their largest fleet deal (with New South Wales Police for 300 SRT Core highway patrol vehicles) set to be completed by the end of this year.

For reference, the 300C Luxury is powered by a 210kW/340Nm 3.6-litre naturally aspirated petrol V6 engine, while the 300 SRT Core and 300 SRT up the ante with a 350kW/637Nm 6.4-litre V8. Both units are machted to an eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.

Of note, it doesn’t get heated and cooled front seats like the other two variants.

Meanwhile, the 300 SRT picks up 20-inch forged alloy wheels, adaptive Bilstein dampers, red callipers, a dual-pane sunroof, a 19-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, leather/suede upholstery, carbon-fibre trim, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
