What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2019 Chrysler 300 4 out of 5 stars overall, below the 5-star median for the 6 comparable 2019 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 11.3% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 23 MPG combined, the 2019 Chrysler 300 ranks 6th of 10 large cars EPA rated for 2019 — 1 MPG short of the 24 MPG median for that group.
That places it a little below the middle of its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $2,650, within $0 of the $2,650 typical for the class — roughly $13,250 over five years.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 389 grams per mile — about 5.8 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
