I am new to this forum and was looking for any thread that compared the Chrysler 300 or Dodge Charger to the Cadenza. Not seeing any, I figured I'd start one myself. My previous car to the Cadenza was a base Chrysler 300 leased in 2013.
Cadenza vs Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger
1 - 5 of 5 Posts
Well as a quick comparison, I drove the 300 before purchasing my Cadenza, I drove a charger as a loaner while my Cadenza was in the shop.
I Liked the 300 better than the Cadenza but also took in the factor that the car gauges and a lot of other functions are electronic now and felt that the risk of a problem with electrical issues was too high for the Chrysler and not worth it in the long run. I do like the ride and drive quality.
The Charger was too cheap in all aspects of a ride quality and features.
The Cadenza fit the overall things I was looking for (ride quality, extra features).
If I had to buy again the price range I was working for I would still purchase a Cadenza. The only thing I can say negative is the electronic steering feature, not a huge fan but thats more personal I think.

My buddy has a dodge charger.
This past weekend he was getting in my Cadenza (passenger), we talked for about 10 seconds then I drove us to the movies.
He said "wait, your car is on?!"

The Charger is not in the same class as the Cadenza in any metric (except maybe engine if you step it up).
Front what I can see:
Cadenza:
-Active headlights
-10yr, 100k warranty (even if only extended-purchase)
-Infinity sound system
-All options of 300c Platinum except those listed below (and for lower price)
300 (C, starting @ $38K or Platinum starting @ $42.5k)
-Possible V8
-Factory remote start
-AWD possible
-Beats audio with upgrade to H&K
-Selectible drive modes
I'm sure there are more differences but I'm at work and don't want to spend a whole lot of time on this.

After I parked the Cadenza after my test drive, I only realized the engine was still on because the revs weren't at 0. The engine was essentially silent at idle.My buddy has a dodge charger.
