The midsize sedan segment has grown abundantly. With no bounds on the number of options available, competition in the segment has gotten stiffer and increased manifold.
The midsize sedan segment has grown abundantly. With no bounds on the number of options available, competition in the segment has gotten stiffer and increased manifold. One such car that has fought to make itself visible in the segment is the 2016 Chrysler 200. With a major revamp in its design in 2015, the Chrysler 200 now falls in line with the aggressive and modern designs prevalent in the segment.
We recommend opting for the Limited trim that at an affordable price adds to the feature load of the base trims and provides optional features available with the higher trims. However, if you are looking for a rather sportier performance the S or C trims with the V6 engine could be your pick.

With a major revamp in its design in 2015, the Chrysler 200 now falls in line with the aggressive and modern designs prevalent in the segment.
The 2016 Chrysler 200 is available in six different trims namely: LX, Touring, Limited, S, C, and C Platinum. Each trim of the Chrysler 200 is distinguished from the other by a set of features. Amongst the lineup, the sedan shares two engine and drivetrain options. It falls in a price bandwidth that extends from $21,995 for the base variant to $31,785 for the top-tier trim.

We Recommend
We recommend opting for the Limited trim that at an affordable price adds to the feature load of the base trims and provides optional features available with the higher trims. However, if you are looking for a rather sportier performance the S or C trims with the V6 engine could be your pick.
The bright-eyed and bushy-tailed performance of the Chrysler 200 emanates from either of its two engine options. While a 2.4L inline-4 unit is a standard offering across all trims, a V6 engine is made available as optional with S and C trims. The V6 engine of the Chrysler 200 is good for 295hp of engine power and 262lb.-ft. Each trim of the Chrysler 200 is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. While front-wheel drivetrain is standard, the V6 engines are available as all-wheel-drive variants only.
The base engine of the Chrysler 200 is sluggish in its approach. The 2.4L inline-4 unit can churn out 184hp of power and 183lb.-ft of torque. It can boost from 0-60mph in 9 seconds and can complete a quarter-mile run in 16.6 seconds, both timings slower for the class it falls in. However, it does record a top speed of 126 MPH.

In comparison, the Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata also make use of inline-4 engines but are mated to continuously variable transmission setups. The Sonata’s 185hp of power and 178lb.-ft of torque is the highest in the segment and consequently, it manages best-in-class performance. While in the 0-60mph sprint the Camry and Sonata clock 8 seconds, the latter takes 15.5 seconds to reach the quarter-mile mark.
The Chrysler 200’s class-competing performance, extends to its fuel economy as well. While it manages 23 MPG in the city, the 200 can average 36 MPG on the highway. Combined, its efficiency is rated at 28 miles per gallon of fuel. The Chrysler 200 has a total fuel capacity of 15.8 gallons and consequently, it can cover 363.4 and 568.8 miles in the city and on the highway respectively.

In comparison, the Hyundai Sonata is the most fuel-efficient sedan on the block averaging 30 MPG. The Toyota Camry manages similar efficiency as the Chrysler 200. However, both cars feature larger fuel tanks. The Sonata’s tank is the most voluminous with a holding capacity of 18.5-gallons followed by the Toyota Camry’s tank of 17-gallons. In terms of range, it is the Hyundai Sonata that leads the pack and can cover maximum distance in the segment.
The 2016 Chrysler 200’s cabin is a fresh take on modernity and luxury. Even from the base variant, it is the sophistication that the cabin resonates of, which is the most striking aspect. The rotary transmission knob is the most contemporary feature of the cabin. The centrally place infotainment system and the central gauge screens behind the steering wheel are sought-after in their build and usability.
The seats on offer with the Chrysler 200 are supremely comfortable. With adequate bolstering and cushioning, the seats of the 200 eliminate any sense of firmness in the ride. Additionally, the nimbleness with which the car rides, adds character and integrity, for it maintains authenticity even during high-speed cornering. The cargo capacity on offer of 16 cubic feet can easily accommodate two luggage bags to cover you on your weekend trips.

In the segment, all three sedans can seat five passengers only. The Hyundai Sonata’s abundant space for seat passengers comes at the cost of its rear-seat space. On the other hand, the Chrysler 200 manages an appropriate amount of space for both seat occupants. In terms of cargo capacity, all three cars are almost equally matched and it is difficult to declare a certain winner.
Some standout interior features include:
The infotainment system on the Chrysler 200 feels responsive and intuitive and gets standard features like Bluetooth, a 5.0-inch screen (optional on the LX trim), and other connectivity features. Each trim of the Chrysler 200 now comes equipped with a USB port. With the S and C level trims, an 8.4-inch screen becomes a standard offering. Other infotainment features include:
The 2016 iteration of the Chrysler 200 remains rather unchanged in its exterior design. With a revamp in its design in 2015, the Chrysler 200 continues to remain modern, sleek, and contemporary in its design. Its headlights are its most striking feature and sit well in tandem with the overall design. The front grille with the brand logo is imposing, while at the rear it is the subtle design of the taillights that is the most impressive.
The Chrysler 200 weighs 3473 lbs and is the heaviest car in the segment. It is 192.3 inches long with a wheelbase of 108 inches. Its large and imposing dimensions make it the widest and tallest car in the segment measuring 73.6 and 58.7 inches respectively. The 200 has a 5.8 inches clearance from the ground.

In comparison, the Toyota Camry and Hyundai Sonata are relatively light and weigh 3240 and 3252 lbs respectively. While smaller in overall dimensions and proportions, the Camry and Sonata sport longer wheelbases of 109.3 and 110.4 inches respectively. In addition, the Toyota Camry also has the highest ground clearance of 6.1 inches.
Some salient exterior features include;
The Chrysler 200 is safe, reliable, and dependable and a 5-star crash test rating by NHTSA is evidence of the same. It makes use of 4-wheel disc brakes as a standard that bestows a decent halting distance. Additionally, some of its basic features include brake assist, traction control, and child safety locks. With the higher trims, the Chrysler 200 comes equipped with an optional blind-spot monitor, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. Other salient safety features include:
The Chrysler 200 has been crafted to be a niche offering and satiate the needs of all traditional buyers in the segment. While its base engine is lackluster and slow-moving, the optional V6 engine with the higher trims makes a compelling case. Its efficiency is class-competing and one can live with its mileage not creating a dent in the pocket. The 200’s likability lies in its cabin and interior build that is practical and pragmatic. Apart from that, even its infotainment and safety systems are top-notch. With an aesthetic package on the outside and by being a usable and valuable proposition on the inside, the Chrysler 200 does become a stiff competitor in the segment and receives a big thumbs up from us.
