The mid-sized sedan market is a challenge to shop as cars become indistinguishable when comparing features. Then there's the 2015 Chrysler 200, which stands out from the crowd with a comfortable, quiet ride and an abundance of state-of-the-art, easy-to-use technology.
Its rounded exterior corners and flowing lines give the Chrysler 200 a coupe-like appearance and a tasteful amount of chrome trim on the grille, bumpers and around the windows add just a touch of sophistication.
Chrysler offers the 200 with two engine choices, a 3.6-liter V6 that churns out 295 horsepower and a diminutive, fuel-sipping, 2.4-liter, inline-4 that produces 184 horsepower. My 200 with the smaller engine yielded 28 miles-per-gallon in combined city and highway driving, thanks in part to a 9-speed automatic transmission that reduces the gaps between shifts. While the boost in fuel economy was appreciated, it was short on punch. A smooth ride with lively handling through the corners compensated for the deficiency in power.
The Chrysler 200 starts at $21,700. The top-of-the-line C model, with the character of a luxury sedan, reached $30,475, which included a $1,295 safety technology package and a $1,395 package that bundled together navigation and an upgraded sound system.
The safety technology package is highlighted by lane departure warning with lane keep assist, forward collision warning, park assist with stop and adaptive cruise control. Adaptive cruise control, an advanced feature once reserved for the high-end segment is now available on just about everything, and is one feature that I'm finding difficult to live without.
The off-white soft leather interior was accentuated with conspicuous stitching. A blue bezel surrounding the instrument panel glowed from behind a leather-wrapped steering wheel. An 8.4-inch touchscreen provided easy access to the 200's radio and navigation features without overwhelming the center console.
Full electronic gear shifting via a rotary shift knob created additional storage space within the center console. The area was further enhanced with sliding cup holders that provided storage flexibility and an opening to run cables through for smartphone connections.
Both driver and passenger seats were firm, yet comfortable. While the back seats needed an inch or two of additional leg room, the trunk had plenty of storage space.
The 2015 Chrysler 200 is worth a test drive when considering the Accord, Camry, Fusion, Mazda 6 or Passat. I like the options that Chrysler has to offer with the 200. If the standard engine is too small, they offer a best-in-class for horsepower V6 and if you're worried that front-wheel-drive might be inadequate for New England winter driving, there's an all-wheel-drive model.
