Overview

Thanks to last year’s complete redesign, the 200 now offers a serious entry in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment. Featuring striking design, respectable fuel figures and fun in the form of an optional V6, the 200 has become a viable choice even when placed alongside perennial favorites like the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord.

What's New for 2016

Being one year out from a complete redesign, changes to the 2016 Chrysler 200 are minimal but include minor changes to the front fascia, shape of the taillights and interior colors.

Choosing Your Chrysler 200

The standard engine in all 200 models is a 2.4-liter inline-four that produces 184-horsepower and offers an estimated 23 mpg city/ 36 mpg highway. Should you choose to move above the LX level you will have the option to upgrade to a 3.6-liter V6 that puts 295-horsepower under your right foot. The V6 returns an estimated 19/32mpg. Both engines are mated to Chrysler's excellent nine-speed automatic transmission.

Chrysler 200

LX

The entry-level 200 includes all the equipment one would expect of a family car at this price point including multistage front airbags, a four-speaker audio system with AUX and USB inputs, keyless door and trunk entry, anti-lock disc brakes, speed sensitive power locks, ambient LED interior lighting, traction control, steering control and more. Opting to add the UConnect Package adds a 5-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth phone and audio compatibility.

Chrysler 200

Limited

Moving to the Limited trim builds on all the equipment already on the LX by adding the UConnect Package, six speakers for the sound system, dual-zone climate control, and rear ducts for air conditioning and heat. Adding the Convenience Package gets you an 8-way power adjustable driver seat, a rear backup camera, and heated power mirrors.

Chrysler 200

S

Selecting the S gives you the option of all-wheel drive and includes most of the Limited’s equipment as well. Some performance upgrades include a sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch wheels and leather-trimmed sport seats with an 8-way power adjustable driver seat. Options include a Premium Lighting Package that adds HID headlamps with LED daytime running lights and LED fog lamps. The Navigation and Sound Package adds an Alpine 506-watt amplifier, 8.4-inch touchscreen, nine Alpine speakers with a subwoofer, navigation, and a 7-inch driver information display cluster.

Chrysler 200

C

The C is the luxury-focused 200 and the features included highlight that fact. Much like the S, the C gives you the option to select the V6 and/or all-wheel drive but those are the only real performance focused upgrades. Standard features build on those in the S and include leather-trimmed seats, a power 8-way driver seat, a power 6-way passenger seat, heated front seats, halogen projector headlamps with LEDs, automatic climate control and heated mirrors. The Navigation and Sound Package is available and adds the same features as it does for the S. Also available is a SafetyTec package that adds adaptive cruise control, advanced brake assist, blind spot and cross path detection, collision warning, lane departure warning with lane assist, and park assist.

CarsDirect Tip

When it comes to trim levels for the 200, there is a wider gap than usual between the LX and the C in terms of equipment and amenities. We recommend upgrading to the S or C to experience the 200 as it was meant to be experienced. We also suggest considering the SafetyTec package as it adds a host of excellent safety features at a very reasonable price.

Chrysler has recently becomes somewhat of a sub-luxury carmaker -- its models have prices that undercut all of the premium brands, but its cars have standard features that make them feel more upscale. Battling it out in the midsize sedan segment for Chrysler is the 200.

Pricing and Equipment

For a sub-luxury sedan, the Chrysler 200 starts off relatively inexpensively at just $21,995. On top of its low price point, the 200 is also quite the looker. What’s more, the standard features list is surprisingly long for this low price, and includes:

  • Keyless entry and pushbutton start
  • LED taillights
  • Rotary shifter for the automatic transmission
  • Automatic headlights

For buyers looking for more premium features, we suggest moving into the $24,145 Limited, the $32,345 S, or $27,225 C.

Performance Pros

Chrysler 200

We find the 200 to be quite the performer with an optional V6 that produces 295 horsepower.

  • Potent V6 equals all its turbocharged rivals.
  • Nine gears helps extend fuel economy.
  • Optional all-wheel drive sweetens things up a bit.

Performance Cons

  • The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder produces just 184 horsepower and lacks oomph.
  • The transmission shifts a little harshly at times.
  • The 200 doesn't handle as well as its sharp looks make you think it will.

Interior Pros

Chrysler 200

We've found that the interior is a great place to spend long trips. Front seats are particularly spacious. Chrysler put a lot of time and thought into how it set up the cabin. Things are where they need to be and the features -- standard and optional -- are bountiful.

Interior Cons

Our only negative thoughts about the 200’s interior relate to the back seat:

  • Rear passenger space is a bit cramped for the class.
  • A sloping roofline and narrow cutouts for the rear doors complicate entry and exit -- we banged our heads a few times getting in and out.

The Most Pleasant Surprise

Chrysler 200

The quality and features in the cabin are a great surprise. As with any Chrysler, we expect more for our money, but the 200 goes above and beyond. What’s more, the value just gets better as you move up through the trim levels.

The Least Pleasant Surprise

Most sedans like the 200 try to straddle the line between sport sedan and luxury cruiser, so that's what we’d expect from this Chrysler. The 200, though, places a greater emphasis on comfort than athletic handling, though.

The Bottom Line

If you’ve got the taste for a midsize luxury car but not the budget, the 2016 Chrysler 200 is one vehicle you’ve got to check out. It has plenty of standard features, a bevy of options, and its starting price just barely dips its toes into the $20,000 range.
