The Chrysler 200 has hit the ground running, already selling 10,000 vehicles on its first day available. The strong opening sales show that car consumers have confidence in the new 200, which is being touted as a competitor to mid-size sedans like the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, and Honda Accord. New Jersey auto shoppers interested in the new 200 may want to check out the Butler Chrysler dealership to test drive the vehicle.
The 200 got a redesign for 2015 that combined Detroit practicality with the Italian sense of style of Chrysler’s European partner Fiat. The new 200 has a sleeker, more aesthetically pleasing exterior design. According to auto industry experts, much of the styling of the new 200 will be echoed in other pending Chrysler redesigns, such as that of the 300, and the Town and Country minivan.
The new 200 also has a standard 2.4 liter engine or a more powerful V-6 engine for consumers who want greater performance.
The new Chrysler 200 also boasts some interesting features, such as standard push-button start and an electronic rotary gear shifter, 17-inch steel wheels, an eight-airbag set-up, and several other safety features.
One innovation many drivers will like is the nine-gear transmission which helps boost fuel economy on the Chrysler 200. The new 200 gets 36 mpg on the highway, making it very competitive with other leading vehicles in its class.
The new 200 marks a turning point for Chrysler, as it becomes a more competitive auto brand. Car buyers curious about this unique new vehicle should visit their local Chrysler dealership for a test drive.
