All three Chrysler models, the Pacifica, Pacifica Hybrid and 300, all have a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. However, each vehicle is a little bit different and all three vehicles have different transmissions and/or other systems that give the vehicle a different horsepower, torque and fuel economy. Read below for all of the ways the engines and specs differ from one another.

The Chrysler 300 with the the 3.6-liter V6 24-valve VVT engine comes standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission. With this engine, the Chrysler 300 produces 300 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque, which is a significant amount of horsepower for a “standard” engine. But, just because the Chrysler 300 is powerful doesn’t mean it’s not fuel efficient. When equipped with the 3.6L engine, the Chrysler 300 has a fuel economy of 19 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. In addition, the 3.6-liter engine can be paired with a rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive drivetrain.
