The Chrysler 200 is a 4-door sedan / 2-door convertible from Chrysler, built from 2010 to 2016, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: Petrol engine.
Where it came from
The Chrysler 200 is a mid-size sedan that was manufactured and marketed by Chrysler from model years 2011 to 2017 across two generations in four-door sedan and two-door convertible (first generation only) body styles. The 200 nameplate debuted on the 200C, a prototype hybrid vehicle shown at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit and based on the Chrysler 300. The 200C concept was engineered to accept either traditional gasoline, hybrid or full-electric powertrains.
Under the skin
Power comes from Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. It shifts through a 4-speed Ultradrive 40TES automatic / 6-speed Ultradrive 62TE automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 108.9 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
In context
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Chrysler Sebring; assembly was at Sterling Heights, Michigan, United States. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Lexus LFA, the Nissan Leaf, the Jeep Grand Cherokee — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Chrysler catalogue sit the Chrysler Falcon and the Chrysler Chronos.
What it costs now
The money question first: $9,600–$18,100 is the typical asking range today, and running it — fuel and maintenance at its age — costs about $3,472–$9,551 a year. Insurance sits around $1,120–$1,800 a year. The figures are class-level estimates from the federal record, with the formula on the methodology page; the model-year pages carry complaints, recalls and repair costs year by year.
