In Detroit, Chrysler presented the all-new 200. While we currently still have some Chrysler models under the “Lancia” label. Like this for example Lancia topic (driving report). There is a Dodge Dart under the sheet of the new Chrysler 200 - under the sheet is a Giulietta (FIAT Compact Platform).
The new Chrysler 200 - Italy Remix 2014 in Detroit
The new Italian owners of Chrysler are a welcome subject for Motown boys on every taxi ride. However, there is still nothing that could be described as a disadvantage. On the contrary. The new 200 looks extremely pleasing. It looks like it is all of a piece, with a restraint in design unknown for a Chrysler. The shapes are flowing. The LED daytime running arc on the front is dynamically curved, the windshield lies flat in the wind.
Chrysler wants to offer two engines. The 2.4 liter four-cylinder with 187 PS and the well-known Pentastar V6 with 3.6 liters and 299 hp. Thanks to the FIAT initiative, Chrysler is right up there with automatic transmissions. A ZF 9-speed automatic is used. And if you want to distribute the power to all fours, you can also opt for an all-wheel drive variant.
In the US, the Chrysler 200 will launch for the price of 22.000 dollars. That would be no 17.000 € in Germany and for that, I would even see over the still partly wuschige processing in the interior.
