Chrysler 200

Overview: Is the Chrysler 200 a Good Midsize Sedan?

The Chrysler 200 was a short-lived attempt to take on midsize sedans, like the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Volkswagen Passat, Nissan Altima, and Chevrolet Malibu. Chrysler (then part of FCA/Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) launched the 200 in 2011 to give its dealers a competitive offering with four-cylinder Tigershark or six-cylinder Pentastar power and a straightforward front-wheel drive drivetrain. The original 200 shared components with the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger and was also available as a convertible. The second-generation 200 appeared in 2015 with more dynamic styling and available all-wheel drive. Ultimately the 200 fell victim to declining sedan demand.

Key Features

The Chrysler 200 offers:

• Four-door midsize sedan or convertible (first-generation only) body style
• Four-cylinder or V6 engine options
• Automatic transmission
• Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive

Trims

The first-generation 200 came packaged as an LX, Touring, Limited, or S. In the second generation, trims initially included the LX, Limited, 200S, and 200C editions but were expanded to the Touring, Limited Platinum, and 200C Platinum in its final years.

Comfort, Technology & Cargo

The 200’s accommodations are welcoming for those in the front row, but the rear seat can be particularly confining, especially in the second generation. Equipment levels are more basic in the first-generation 200, but the subsequent editions are well-outfitted, depending on the trim, Chrysler’s Uconnect infotainment system is well-regarded, even in older models. Cargo space is typical for a mid size sedan, but split-folding rear seats make the 200 more versatile.

How It Drives

The standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder Tigershark engine focuses more on efficiency over vigor, while the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 delivers satisfying thrust. Front-wheel drive is good for most driving situations, but available all-wheel drive dials up the traction. Chrysler 200 ride quality is best described as a balance between comfort and sportiness.

Safety

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave first-generation Chrysler 200 sedans a four-star (out of five) overall safety rating. The second generation’s ranking improved to five stars.

Reviews

According to Kelley Blue Book, Chrysler 200 reviews average 4.1-4.2 out of 5 between both generations. There’s strong praise for comfort and style, while reliability also gets a thumbs up.
