It’s Chrysler’s 2015 all-new 200 mid-size sedan.
Read my full review on Autonet.ca.
Short review:
With its upscale interior and exclusive 9- spd. transmission, in the mid-size sedan segment Chrysler just went from barely competing, to the one to compete against.
The launch was in Louisville, Kentucky.
Here’s the post about that, and what driving in Kentucky looks like [video].
It’s quite different from the model it’s replacing, which was known as a rental car (think of the Sebring), so therefore, not popular with the average consumer (because who wants to buy a car known for being a rental).
This new model ought to change that.
The interior is where Chrysler bests the competition, mainly because of the spacious, open centre console, thanks to the addition of an E-shift.
That E-shift is something we’ll start to see much more of, all automakers are moving to them.
It was a well executed launch, here’s a video still that wasn’t good enough to edit.
Not all launches have neat stuff, like this interior cutaway.
Engine/transmission: 2.4L 4-cylinder & 3.6L V6 / 9-spd automatic
Power/torque: 208 hp/ 258 lb-ft (4-cylinder) & 295 hp / 262 lb-ft (V6)
Starting at $22,495
Oh, and the 200 will not only parallel park itself, it’ll perpendicular park too.
