2011 Chrysler 200 Reviews

The heavy makeover includes updated exterior styling, a vastly improved passenger cabin, a new 3.6-liter V6 engine and retuned suspension and steering.

Introduction
In place of the Sebring's low-budget rental car cabin is a nicer interior with high-quality materials that shame other sedans in this class.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 Chrysler 200 is offered as a midsize sedan and convertible. Both are offered in four trim levels.

The entry-level LX model comes equipped with 17-inch steel wheels, a four-speed automatic transmission, air-conditioning, cloth upholstery, 60/40-split-folding rear seatbacks, full power accessories, cruise control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with audio controls and a four-speaker sound system with a CD player and auxiliary audio jack.

The Touring model adds some desirable extras including 17-inch alloy wheels, a six-speed automatic, automatic headlights, a power driver seat, automatic climate control, a trip computer, upgraded interior lighting, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob and a six-speaker sound system with satellite radio.
For the 200 convertible, Chrysler offers either a conventional power-operated soft top or a retractable steel hardtop.
The front-wheel-drive 2011 Chrysler 200 offers a choice of two engines. A key to performance is the six-speed automatic transmission, which is standard across the line aide from the entry-level LX, which has a four-speed automatic.

Safety
The 2011 Chrysler 200 comes with a long list of standard safety features including stability and traction control, antilock brakes with brake assist, active front head restraints, front side airbags and side curtain airbags.

The convertible also scored "Good" in the frontal-offset and side impact tests (no roof strength test was done).

Interior Design and Special Features
The sedan's 13.6-cubic-foot trunk is also a little on the small side.
