Chrysler Group LLC is preparing for the North American release
of the new 2011 Chrysler 200 mid-sized sedan. Offering consumers exceptional craftsmanship inside and out, a
refined and spirited driving experience, innovative technology, an abundance of standard safety features and
an extraordinary level of standard content, the 2011 Chrysler 200 is an exciting alternative for customers
that want style and substance, all at a surprising value. The new Chrysler 200 replaces the Sebring.
Virtually every system in the sedan is new or upgraded for 2011, giving the Chrysler 200 its own identity
and space in the highly competitive mid-size sedan segment. Exterior and sheet metal upgrades include: front
and rear fascias and guards, grille featuring the new Chrysler brand winged badge, bonnet, rear bootlid and
exterior mirrors, new projector headlamps and fog lamps, new LED taillamps and a LED centre high-mounted stop
light.
The Chrysler 200 gets a new powertrain line-up featuring the 2.4-litre I-4 "World Gas Engine" matched to
either a four-speed or six-speed automatic transaxle, or the new 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 engine matched to a
six-speed automatic transaxle; improved ride and handling tuning which includes stiffened body mounts and
softer ride rate, improved suspension geometry with a raised roll centre, a new rear sway bar, and new tyres
and an extensively upgraded treatment for the reduction of noise, vibration and harshness including acoustic
laminated glass for the windshield and front door windows.
Quality materials abound in the beautifully updated new interior for 2011. Updates include a new
instrument panel, bezels and gauge face, upgraded seats with a new design that incorporates more cushion
material and revised spring geometry as well as new leather and cloth seating materials, new “soft touch”
armrests and dash, and new heating and cooling outlets in the instrument panel with improved design and
functionality.
The new 2011 Chrysler 200 provides drivers a beautifully inspired sedan that doesn’t compromise safety or
practicality and offers the best value in its class. The Chrysler 200 will be built at the Sterling Heights
Assembly Plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan and will arrive in North American dealerships later this year
following its debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show on Friday 19th November, 2010.
