2017 Chrysler 200 Overview
Introduction
The 2017 Chrysler 200 is a midsize sedan that combines sophistication with a splash of sporty dynamism. Designed with an emphasis on comfort and technological advancements, the Chrysler 200 stands out in a competitive market. Its sleek exterior, refined interior, and comprehensive feature set make it an appealing choice for both commuters and families looking for a reliable vehicle with a touch of luxury.
Powertrains
The Chrysler 200 offers two powertrain options to accommodate different driving preferences. Standard is a 2.4-liter inline-4 engine delivering 184 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. For those seeking enhanced performance, the available 3.6-liter V6 engine generates a potent 295 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, also mated to the smooth 9-speed automatic transmission. Both engines provide a commendable balance of power and fuel efficiency, making them suitable for city driving and highway cruising alike.
Trims
The 2017 Chrysler 200 comes in four trims: the base LX, the mid-level Limited, the sport-oriented 200S, and the upscale 200C. Each trim level adds its own unique features, providing options for practical buyers and those seeking luxury and style. From updated upholstery and advanced tech in the 200C to the sporty accents in the 200S, each variant caters to a different taste and lifestyle need.
Features
Inside the 2017 Chrysler 200, a wealth of features awaits drivers and passengers. Highlights include an intuitive Uconnect infotainment system, available leather upholstery, and advanced safety technology such as blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control. The spacious cabin, along with ample trunk space, ensures comfort for all occupants, making long journeys enjoyable.
