Strip the Chrysler 200C EV back to its specification sheet and the character is already there: 0.9L Fiat TwinAir Turbocharged I2, 200 kW. Chrysler built from 2009, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids.
The engineering
The engine is 0.9L Fiat TwinAir Turbocharged I2; the output is 200 kW. Drive goes through a Single-speed fixed. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 116.1 in. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
In the Chrysler line-up the Chrysler 200C EV has a clear place: it replaced the Chrysler Sebring Sedan. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Tatra 810, the Suzuki Equator, the Dodge ZEO. Its Chrysler stablemates include the Chrysler Falcon and the Chrysler Chronos.
Owning one today
Buying one now means $9,600–$18,100 for a typical example, 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.
