Quick Drive: 2018 Chrysler 300S AWD
The 2018 Chrysler 300S AWD stands out in its distinctive olive green paint with bronze-finish alloy wheels and a blacked-out sport grille. These exterior shots capture the full-size sedan from every angle, while the engine bay reveals the 3.6-liter VVT Pentastar V6 under the hood. The interior offers a refined black leather cabin with an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen. Read the 2018 Chrysler 300S AWD Review

Overall, I like the look of these, but I only wish the LX Mopar sedans had about 6" more length to the trunk.  I think the back end looks too chopped off, and frankly, that trunk opening is pretty narrow for me.  Given the actual volume of the trunk, the opening is virtually a mail slot. Another 6" behind the rear bumper wouldn't have made it arse heavy.  It just would have made it usable, and I'd argue, better balanced.

But that's just me.  Tilting at windmills again.  Haha!

The difference isn't much, but even that bit more trunk length helps the proportions IMHO.  

I had no measurement to go by, but I guess the middle pic, the trunk is about 5" longer.  The bottom pic might be 8' or 9" extra.

I've liked the look since the '11 update, though I do think they look a bit stubby in profile. Many recent Cadillac sedans have the same short deck issue, IMO...
