Chrysler 200

The Chrysler 200 is a true contender in the ultra-competitive midsize car category, offering value through a high level of standard equipment, along with variety in a convertible model with available hardtop. Replacing the Sebring, the 200 forges its own identity with modern styling and a refined cabin, underpinned by responsive handling and innovative technologies.

The front-wheel drive 200 is offered in both sedan and convertible body styles, as well as four trim levels - LX (sedan only), Touring, Limited and S. Two engines supply power: a 173-hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a new Pentastar 283-hp 3.6-liter V6 with flex-fuel capability, mated to either a four-speed automatic or a six-speed automatic with manual shift mode. Building on the value-packed LX trim, the Touring adds aluminum wheels, an 8-way power driver's seat, automatic climate control, satellite radio and a garage door opener. The Limited trim is further equipped with fog lights, 18-inch polished aluminum wheels, heated front seats and leather upholstery, as well as a multimedia centre with 30 gigabytes of internal memory, USB port, Bluetooth streaming audio and DVD video capability. The new S trim gets exclusive chromed exhaust finishers and wheel treatment, along with upgraded audio. Safety features include stability and traction control systems, anti-lock brakes with brake assist, active front head restraints, six airbags, tire pressure monitoring and a security system.

The Chrysler 200 receives substantial revisions for 2011, including a fresh exterior, quieter cabin and improved ride and handling. New standard equipment incorporates stability and traction control systems, 17-inch wheels, projector headlights and LED tail lamps. Additionally, the LX trim level is now offered on the sedan, and a new S model debuts.
