0 Chrysler 200 Light Reset

The Chrysler 200 is a midsize car that was sold by the American car manufacturer between 2011 and 2017. During its time on the market, Chrysler released two generations of the model.

Over these generations, two layouts were released. These were a 4-door sedan and a 2-door convertible version.

The 200 owes both its nameplate and some of its mechanical features to two other Chrysler offerings. The first debut of the name was with the unveiling of the hybrid 200C at the 2009 North American International Auto Show. It is also essentially a restyled version of its predecessor, the Chrysler Sebring, which means it has a huge number of similarities with this model as well.

Both generations of the 200 featured a front engine that drove a front-wheel drivetrain. There was also an all-wheel drive option exclusive to the second generation.

The key difference between the first and second generations is that the first generation was built on the JS platform, while the second was built on Fiat’s Compact Wide platform.

Other similar models in the class include the Dodge Dart, Chevrolet Malibu, Hyundai Elantra, and Nissan Altima.

The model was offered with four trim levels, which consisted of the base LX, Limited, S, and C.

Different powertrains for these trim levels consisted of a 2.4 L inline-4 and a 3.6 L V6, both of which were petrol engines. Chrysler never released a diesel variant.

These were coupled with either a 4-speed or 6-speed automatic for the first generation and a 9-speed automatic for the second. Interestingly, the second generation 200 offered the first dial-based gear shifter in the midsize class.

The model was discontinued in 2017 for a number of reasons including criticism and the increasing popularity of the SUV class.
