2015 Chrysler 200 vs. 2015 Mazda6

Today we look at a matchup between two of the hottest luxury sedans on the market: the 2015 Chrysler 200 and the 2015 Mazda6. Both of these cars feature sleek exterior and interior styling plus great handling for the money. But when it comes to pure bang for the buck, the Chrysler 200 comes out on top.

Precision CJDR carries a wide range of options packages for this great sedan for all of our customers in Bloomingdale, Kinnelon, and Butler. Here's a look at how these two powerhouse sedans stack up. 

Basics

The Mazda6 features a great classic exterior and delivers athletic handling as well as sophistication. The feel of the car is sporty and smooth with good fuel economy.

The Chrysler 200, however, is the true luxury model of the sedan. At a comparable price point, it features a sleek, futuristic design and interior detailing to match as well as the option for all-wheel drive for difficult environmental conditions. It has a stronger engine than the Mazda and better technology options.

Redesigns

The Chrysler 200 features a full top-to-bottom redesign this year, incorporating all new features, improved gas mileage and technology, as well as the new all-wheel drive options. The Mazda6, on the other hand, had a redesign last year and the 2015 model has only minor updates to the previous version.

Warranty

If you're looking for coverage against wear and damage, the Chrysler 200 comes out on top. While both vehicles offer a three-year, 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, the Chrysler's powertrain coverage is five years or 100,000 miles compared to the Mazda6's 60,000 miles.

Performance and Comfort

The Mazda6 still maintains a slight advantage in fuel economy at an estimated 38 highway mpg vs. the Chrysler's 32 mpg, but the Chrysler delivers a lot more power for the payoff. The option is available for a V6 engine and all-wheel drive, which should more than make up for the difference in gas mileage.

The Chrysler 200 features more interior space and a lot more comfort than the Mazda6, and the new styling ensures a luxurious ride. Add the Chrysler's exceptionally quiet and smooth drive, as well as its interior comfort, and it still maintains a performance edge in this area. 

Technology

Both vehicles offer all of the latest gadgets for the tech lovers out there. Adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, a heated steering wheel, and driver memory settings are standard, and both offer good infotainment systems that feature Bluetooth connectivity, auxiliary inputs, and smartphone app integration.

However, the entertainment interface on the Mazda6 is somewhat sluggish and a bit less user friendly, while the latest package from Chrysler is sleek, easy to use, and very responsive. In addition, the Chrysler 200 features automated parallel parking and a panoramic sunroof.
