Overview
The 2011 Chrysler 200 Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 4 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $19,245. For that price, it mainly competes with the Mazda 6 Sedan, the Kia Optima Sedan, and the Hyundai Sonata Sedan. Between 4 trims, the 200 offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.4L Inline-4 capable of making 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 283 horsepower-making 3.6L V6 engine. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. However, the entry-level LX trim comes with a 4-speed automatic setup. The 200 reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.8 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.3 seconds with the 3.6L V6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the 200 can manage a combined fuel economy between 22 and 24 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 7 striking colors the 200 comes in really pull you towards itself.
