Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has announced that a “thoroughly refreshed” 300 will debut at this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show.

Details on the 2015 Chrysler 300 are light, but the American automaker is expected to update the sedan with new styling along with numerous upgrades to the interior. Previously it was announced that the Chrysler 300 SRT would get the axe so it is likely that the most powerful model offered for the 2015 model year will be the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 though it’s possible that Dodge will let the 300 truck on with a 6.4-liter V8 without the SRT badge.

Currently, the base-model Chrysler 300 is equipped with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine with 292 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque while the 5.7-liter V8 provides 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque. Expect more details about the 2015 Chrysler 300 as we get closer to the 2014 LA Auto Show, which kicks off late November.
