Road Test

Midsized sedans are the largest-volume, most-competitive car segment in the auto industry. Most car companies get them right. But that isn't the case for the Chrysler 200. Its 2015 redesign vastly improved the car from its unforgivably lousy predecessor, but still trails the rest of the pack by a large margin. Klutzy handling, a thrashy base four-cylinder engine, cramped packaging, and lousy visibility all combine to make this the segment laggard. Indeed, the market has spoken; the 200 has been discontinued after 2017, marking an amazingly short three-year model run.

Model History
2015-
Current Generation

Model year 2015 brought another redesign. While it represents a vast improvement over the 2011 model, the 200 continues to trail the field by a considerable margin. This is largely owing to klutzy handling, a thrashy base engine and cramped packaging. As much as we want to like the handsomely styled car, and we really do applaud the fact that it is considerably better than its forebears, the Chrysler 200's competition is just so much better. 

2011-2014
2011 Redesign Year

For 2011, the Sebring was completely reworked and renamed the Chrysler 200. Along with the redesign came exceptionally graceful styling, a much nicer interior, a more compliant ride, better (though still somewhat underwhelming) handling, and a smooth V6 with good power. Sadly, it wasn't enough to keep the Chrysler in the hunt when compared to the competition. Ranking is near the bottom of the family sedan category.
