The Chrysler 200 was known as the Sebring until a significant update brought a new name in 2011. Most are sold as sedans, but there's also a convertible—unique in the segment as a true midsize convertible that comfortably seats four adults and has room in the trunk, even when the power top is dropped.

The biggest change for the Chrysler 200 is the demotion of the S from standalone model to option package for Touring and Limited models. Minor color and trim changes make up the rest of the 2014 changes.
Choosing Your Chrysler 200
Chrysler recently unveiled an all-new 200 sedan for 2015, and we recommend waiting for the fresh design based on a sophisticated Alfa Romeo platform. If you prefer to stick with the 2014 model, however, you can expect deep discounting.
You can also expect cut-rate pricing on the 200 convertible, as it will be discontinued in the 2015 redesign. If you want a 200 drop-top, 2014 is your last chance to buy one.
The 200 sedan comes in three trim levels, each of which determines drivetrain options:

If you're buying a 200 sedan, we recommend waiting for 2015. If not, look for a fully-loaded Limited model with a large discount. We also suggest the Limited trim level, and equally hard bargaining, for convertible buyers.
