Chrysler has introduced a newly redesigned mid-size sedan for 2015. It comes in four versions - 200LX, 200 Limited, 200S (Sport), and 200C. Although the streamlined aerodynamics contributing to the fresh, new look is obvious, there are many improvements that aren't as instantly visible.
Chrysler has upgraded the interior materials, resulting in a quieter, more luxurious cabin. Available upgrades include two-tone treatments, premium cloth or leather seating, satin or warm chrome trim, and gloss black accents. The C version, the most luxurious, offers real, open-pore wood trim.
From a mechanical standpoint, both the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder and the 3.6-liter V-6 engines are more powerful than before. The EPA estimates 22 to 28 mpg in combined driving. Some versions also offer All-Wheel-Drive (AWD), for easier driving in bad weather. "A great feature to have with winter weather upon us" states Jim Kinney at Tyson Motors.
New features standard on all versions is the Keyless Enter and Go System with push-button start. Optional enhancements include a panoramic sunroof, heated steering wheel, and ParkSense Park Assist. The 200C offers Lane Sense Lane Departure warning, rain-sensing wipers, and full-speed forward collision warning.
The UConnect touchscreen is offered in two sizes; the 5.0 version offers Bluetooth, while the 8.4, the largest screen available in its class, provides internet radio and mobile Wi-Fi hot spot capability, among other features.
Safety improvements added are eight standard air bags include six for front seat occupants, and two side-curtain extensions for backseat passengers.
“Making this one of the safest mid-size vehicles on the road” says Kinney. “We currently have over eighty 2015 Chrysler 200’s in stock and will be happy to assist in finding the right one to fit your needs.”
