2015 Chrysler 300: an open question about the SRT
The facelifted 2015 300 had no SRT in Chrysler's US feature-availability guide, although the MY2015 VIN guide still carried SRT codes.
United States · researched through 2026-09-22
Chrysler's own 2015 US feature-availability guide for the 300 shows no SRT model anywhere in its full US model and engine matrix. The MY2015 VIN coding guide, which covers the US alongside Canada, Mexico, and export markets in a single document, still lists CAF for "SRT" and CAX for "SRT Core" as valid codes. This record's own overview is explicit that the two documents are carried as an open conflict about US availability specifically, rather than treated as resolved either way.1,2
FCA reported 53,109 US sales for the whole Chrysler 300 nameplate in calendar 2015, a figure later restated as 53,025 in the company's own December 2016 sales release; this record's own conflict entry shows both numbers with attribution rather than choosing one, and treats the total strictly as context covering every 300 trim rather than an SRT-specific figure in the first place, since neither release breaks the nameplate's sales down by individual trim level.3,4
This record's own conflict entry works through the US-availability question in unusual depth. The US feature guide remains the direct source for US availability and shows no SRT; the VIN guide spans several markets at once, so its SRT codes do not by themselves prove a US-market car existed. No primary US order guide or price list for a 2015 US 300 SRT was found despite trying Chrysler's own media-hosted feature-availability sheet URL pattern, which returned access denied, and a general web search beyond that. Independent Australian automotive press, dated to a 3 July 2015 Australian launch, and a later US enthusiast article from 2020 both describe the 300 SRT as an Australia-and-Middle-East export model during this period, with no US price found anywhere in either source or elsewhere, an absence this record treats as further evidence against a US-market 2015 car rather than a mere gap in the sources consulted.5,6,7
This record's own treatment language states the question as strongly but not conclusively resolved toward there being no US 2015 300 SRT: the underlying VIN-guide-versus-feature-guide conflict is left in place rather than deleted, following this project's own rule against silently picking a side, and no price is entered into this record because none was found to enter. The record's own notProduced flag is explicitly left unchanged by this reasoning rather than set to reflect the conclusion, since the conflict itself remains open pending a document that this record has not yet located.1,2
VIN positions 5 through 7 for the model year give CAF for SRT and CAX for SRT Core, in a guide covering the US, Canada, Mexico, and export markets together. An unpublished lead notes that a genuine 2015 US Chrysler 300 SRT order guide or price list would settle the US-availability question outright, but none was found; the Chrysler media archive holds SRT feature-availability sheets for 2012 through 2014, while every 2015 SRT-specific file name pattern tried against that same archive returned access denied, leaving this gap in the archive as the single most direct way this question could still be settled.2

The numbers
2015 Chrysler 300 (SRT not in the US lineup) — The facelifted 2015 300 had no SRT in Chrysler's US feature-availability guide, although the MY2015 VIN guide still carried SRT codes.
Coverage: Partial — researched sections are shown; missing ones are not yet sourced. Researched through 2026-09-22.
Every figure is labeled with how sure we are. Reported means a manufacturer, registry, or reference figure we cite but have not reconciled against factory records ourselves. Disputed means credible sources disagree and both are shown. Rows are separately scoped; don't add them together unless the note says they make up a total.

Chrysler published no 300C SRT8 build count. The 2015 model-year worldwide figure comes from one enthusiast compilation (wkbible.com, last updated 2018-11-01) that names no underlying record, so it is reported, not verified. Searched 2026-09-29: Chrysler and Stellantis media, Wikipedia, MoparInsiders, allpar, LX and Charger forum threads (the forums could not be read and cannot be cited). A Chrysler build record or a registry count naming its record would confirm it.
Identification
- VIN positions 5-7 (MY2015)
- Chrysler 300, LHD/RWD: CAF = SRT, CAX = SRT Core (the guide covers US, Canada, Mexico and export).2
Where the sources disagree
Was a 2015 300 SRT offered in the US?
- Not in the US model and engine matrix1
- SRT and SRT Core codes present in the MY2015 VIN guide2
- Secondary report: the 300 SRT was discontinued from North American showrooms for 2015 and continued in Australia and the Middle East5
- The 2015 300 SRT was released to the Australian market on 3 July 2015 at AU$69,000-plus; as of 2020 the 300 SRT was described as sold 'only ... in Australia and the Middle East'6,7
The US feature guide remains the direct US-availability source and shows no SRT; the VIN guide spans several markets. No primary US order guide or price list for a 2015 US 300 SRT was found in this pass either, despite trying Chrysler's media-hosted feature-availability sheet URL pattern (access denied) and general web search. Independent Australian automotive press (CarExpert, dated to the 3 July 2015 Australian launch) and a later US enthusiast article (MoparInsiders, 2020) both describe the 300 SRT as an Australia/Middle-East export model in this period, with no US price found anywhere. Recorded here as strongly but not conclusively resolved toward 'no US 2015 300 SRT': the underlying VIN-guide/feature-guide conflict is left in place rather than deleted, per this project's rule against silently picking a side, but no price is entered because none exists to find. notProduced is unchanged.

- Cadillac V-Series The coupe alone carried the second-generation CTS-V into its last year: 491 built, with manual or automatic.
- Chevrolet SS Magnetic Ride Control becomes standard, Brembo brakes go to all four wheels, and a TREMEC six-speed manual joins the automatic.
- Dodge Challenger The redesign and the Hellcat: 707 hp, two keys, more than 4,500 orders in five days, a record sales year, and a race-only Drag Pak run kept apart from the street cars.
- Dodge Charger A heavy facelift, the eight-speed automatic across the range, and the 707-hp Charger SRT Hellcat, which Dodge called the quickest, fastest and most powerful production sedan in the world.
- Ford Taurus SHO 20-inch machined wheels become standard on the SHO; the 365-hp EcoBoost and the 3.16:1 Performance Package carry on.
