Choosing Your Chrysler 200
Every 200 comes standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 184 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque. The optional 3.6-liter V6 provides a massive boost to 295 hp and 262 lb-fit of torque. So equipped, the 200 is one of quickest midsize sedans on the market. Both engines run with a (widely disliked) nine-speed automatic transmission. The V6 can be paired with all-wheel drive in place of the standard front-drive setup.
Four-cylinder models carry an EPA-rating of 28 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving. The V6 manages 23 mpg combined, or 22 mpg with all-wheel drive.
The 200 covers a lot of market territory across its five trim levels:
A panoramic sunroof is available on the S and C Platinum for $1,495.
