The Chrysler 200 sedan went through a complete design overhaul for this year and it resulted in a much better-looking cabin than the last year’s sedan. The overall cabin comes with a modern design language and the dashboard design is quite exceptional on its own.
The cloth upholstery gives a fresh look to the cabin and the premium quality materials throughout the cabin have a supple touch to them. Ingress and egress to and from the cabin is the least difficult task and the front seats provide excellent support as well. The optional Premium Group package is quite striking with its iconic Eames chair-inspired exposed edges.
The full leather upholstery on the higher trim levels adds a premium touch to the cabin, taking the overall experience to a new level. The rear seats are quite comfortable too with adequate headroom and legroom on offer. The cushioning is on the softer side and provides ample comfort for long trips as well.
