Primeiro teste ao Chrysler 200 - Edmunds

Quick Summary: Chrysler has fully redesigned its midsize 200 sedan. Although the 2015 Chrysler 200 isn't significantly larger than its predecessor, it's a radically different car underneath and finally has what it takes to fight for a spot in your driveway. Highlights included a more powerful base four-cylinder engine, a new nine-speed automatic transmission that improves fuel economy and a totally revamped interior with upgraded materials and more amenities.

What Is It?
The 2015 Chrysler 200 is a front-wheel-drive midsize sedan, though all-wheel drive is available on the upper trim levels. This is a wholly different car from past models, as it uses a larger version of the underpinnings used for the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee. Not only are the 200's suspension and steering systems all-new, but its more structurally rigid foundation contributes to a quieter, more composed ride.

When the new Chrysler 200 sedan goes on sale in the spring of 2014, it will come in four trim levels: LX, Limited, S and C. Prices start at $22,695 for a base LX four-cylinder model and top out around $37,000 for a fully optioned V6 AWD 200 C model. The 200 will only be sold in a sedan body style in this generation; a Chrysler 200 convertible won't be offered.



What Are My Engine and Transmission Choices?
As in the past, you can have either an inline four-cylinder or a V6 engine in the Chrysler 200, but for 2015, the four-cylinder is a far more viable choice. Standard on all front-wheel-drive 200 sedans, this 2.4-liter inline-4 features variable intake-valve timing and lift technology, and is rated at 184 horsepower.

Optional on front-drive S and C models and standard on the AWD versions is a newly fortified version of Chrysler's 3.6-liter V6 engine. Rated at 295 horsepower, it's currently the most powerful V6 available in a non-premium-brand midsize sedan.
With either of these engines, a new nine-speed automatic transmission is standard. It features four overdrive gears to improve fuel economy. All 200 S models include steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. In addition, S models and any 200 equipped with the V6 have a Sport mode that sharpens up engine and transmission responses, provides slightly heavier steering effort and relaxes the intervention point for the electronic stability control (ESC).



How Does It Drive?
Four-cylinder versions of the 2015 Chrysler 200 are a pleasant surprise. This isn't the quietest or smoothest engine in this class, but there's plenty of power for passing and merging on the highway. The nine-speed automatic downshifts when you need it to, but the transmission in our pre-production test car sometimes held onto lower gears a little too long, leaving the engine revving at higher rpm for no good reason. Chrysler officials tell us they're still working on the final software for the new transmission.

Although the four-cylinder will meet the needs of most commuters, the V6 is easily the more desirable choice. It has plenty of power in any situation, as it never feels sluggish, even when engine speed drops below 2,000 rpm in 9th gear. It's also commendably quiet, but if you start getting aggressive with the gas pedal, it offers a satisfying exhaust note. Although downshifts are delivered quickly enough in "D," manual gearchanges executed with the paddle shifters in Sport mode aren't especially quick (nor are they rev-matched). The Chrysler engineers tell us we can expect quicker response on full-production models.

If you enjoy a quick drive on a twisty back road, you'll likely prefer the Chrysler 200 S model's sport-tuned suspension and 18-inch wheels and tires. The setup gives the car a sporty, buttoned-down feel around tight turns and makes it one of the better-handling midsize cars in this price range. If you just want to make time on the interstate, though, you'll probably be just as happy with the standard suspension calibration. We sampled a Limited model with this setup and 17-inch wheels and tires, and it still provided reasonable balance around turns along with an agreeable ride quality.
Brake pedal feel and response are quite good on both versions. Meanwhile, the electric-assist power steering is precise, but even on the Limited, it has a heavier effort level than most buyers will be expecting on a midsize sedan.



What Kind of Fuel Economy Can You Expect?
The EPA has not yet released fuel economy ratings for the 2015 Chrysler 200. However, Chrysler is predicting that four-cylinder models will earn a 35 mpg highway rating for 2015, which would be a significant jump over last year's four-cylinder 200, which rated only 31 mpg on the highway. The automaker also expects that front-wheel-drive V6 models will see a 7 percent improvement in their EPA highway rating, which would translate to a 31 mpg highway rating (up from 29 mpg in 2014).

What Safety Features Does It Offer?
In addition to the expected side-impact and side curtain airbags, every 2015 Chrysler 200 comes with knee airbags for the driver and front passenger. A rearview camera is optional on Limited and S models and standard on the C.

If you're looking for more advanced safety tech, a blind spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alerts is optional on S and C models only. On the C, this system is part of a larger SafetyTec package that also includes adaptive cruise control, a forward collision warning system (that can automatically initiate braking if the driver doesn't react), a lane keeping assist system, an automated parking system, automatic high-beam control and rain-sensing windshield wipers.

Halogen headlights are standard across the board, but HIDs are optional on S and C models.



What's the New Interior Like?
One of the biggest drawbacks to the previous Chrysler 200 was its dated interior that wasn't very special or distinctive. Chrysler's designers redoubled their efforts in the 2015 200, and the result is one of the better cabin designs in this price range.

It's shown off to best effect in S and C models equipped with the optional 8.4-inch infotainment interface, which includes navigation, text-to-voice capability and smartphone app integration. This large screen fills out the dash nicely and complements the automatic transmission's rotary-style shifter. If you pick out a C model, you'll get leather upholstery and an upgraded instrument panel with a configurable display (optional on the S) and, if you specify the optional Premium Group package, you can get real wood inlays in the cabin. These inlays are inspired by the iconic Eames chair and feature exposed edges.



That said, we also drove around in a Limited model with cloth upholstery and the standard 5-inch audio display. It doesn't look quite as state-of-the-art, but it's still a comfortable and functional interior furnished with high-quality materials.

All models feature a USB port that strategically routes your power cord to a handy storage shelf in the center console. And all models, except the base LX, have Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity. A keyless ignition-entry system is standard on every Chrysler 200. On most models, it allows passive access to the driver door and trunk, but on the C, you can also access the front-passenger door without digging in your pocket for the key. Dual-zone automatic climate control and rear-seat heating ducts are standard on the C and optional on the Limited and S.

Most shoppers will have little difficulty getting comfortable in the front seats, and a standard tilt-telescoping steering makes it easy to find a good driving position. However, the 2015 Chrysler 200 has less hiproom than most competitors, so if you're on the larger side, it may feel overly snug. The S model offers front seats with extra lateral bolstering, and we preferred them when driving on back roads with lots of tight turns.

How Spacious Is the Backseat?
A 5-foot-10-inch tall adult will have just enough room to get comfortable in the rear seat when the front seat is adjusted for another 5-foot-10 adult. Six-footers are likely to have issues as the 200 offers less rear legroom than most other midsize sedans.



What About Cargo Capacity?
Trunk capacity is 16 cubic feet, which is a good number for this class. A 60/40-split folding rear seat is standard on all trim levels.

What Are Its Closest Competitors?
Although the 2015 Chrysler 200 is a touch smaller than most other midsize sedans, Chrysler is nonetheless targeting the heavy hitters in this price range.

2014 Ford Fusion: Like the 200, the Fusion is notable for its handsome styling, composed handling and available AWD. It also has an impressive 240-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine, though we don't love its infotainment interface.

2014 Honda Accord: The Accord is one of those cars that checks all the boxes. It has one of the roomiest, most comfortable interiors; an extremely fuel-efficient four-cylinder; and an overachieving V6.

2014 Nissan Altima: Another of our favorites in this class, Altima ekes outstanding fuel economy numbers out of its base four-cylinder engine and offers a superb ride/handling balance.

2014 Toyota Camry: Always a solid choice for a midsize sedan, the Camry offers lots of space and strong four-cylinder and V6 engines.



Why Should You Consider This Car
If you want to drive a midsize sedan that looks more expensive than it really is, the 2015 Chrysler 200 merits consideration as it's guaranteed to stand out against the competition It's also one of the better-handling cars in this class, and it's one of the more affordable V6 midsize sedans out there. If a slick infotainment system is important to you, the 200 arguably has the best audio-navigation interface in this class.



Why Should You Think Twice About This Car
If you need a large backseat to accommodate taller adults or children in car seats, the Chrysler 200 simply isn't as spacious as other midsize sedans. In addition, even with the arrival of a nine-speed automatic transmission, it won't match the fuel economy ratings of the most frugal four-cylinder sedans in this class.

Mais um teste da Kelley Blue Book:

For a while now, when someone said the words "Chrysler 200," people usually responded with various forms of cringing and grimacing. Let's just get this out of the way right now: The 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan changes all of that. Now when you say you own a 2015 Chrysler 200, it will no longer be met with furrowed brows. This all started back in 2009 when bankruptcy was the watchword in Detroit. Chrysler had the latest-generation 200 in the can, but its future was unknown just like the rest of the company. The American auto industry has pulled through since then, and after being acquired by Fiat, Chrysler now has the cash needed to never make the same mistakes again.



Suit and Tie
We'll start with the obvious, the 2015 Chrysler 200 is all-new for the latest model year, and it's a sharp midsize sedan both inside and out. The new 200 has been redesigned from head to toe and, unlike other Chrysler Group products, the interior design is exclusive to it. Of course, there are some button and gauge sharing here and there, but the overall design is specific to the all-new 200. Gone are the days of straight lines and a dreary interior. Instead, curvy exterior styling is paired with an interior that could go up against any competitor in the midsize-sedan segment. When tasked with penning the insides, Klaus Busse, Head of Interior Design, Chrysler Group aimed to use furniture-grade materials, which can be seen in features like the real wood with an exposed edge on the dashboard.



Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne allowed designers and engineers to start with a fresh slate when research and development on the 2015 200 began and it shows. With a coupe-like profile, sleek lines guide your eyes from the front to the back of the 4-door 200 which is a momentous change over the model it's replacing. Up front, the new Chrysler badge appears to be floating in the grille and is book-ended by projector headlights. Chrysler was aiming for a "timeless, exciting design," one that will be used as a template for future products. While the latest 200 only debuted earlier this year at the 2014 Detroit auto show, Chrysler is already banking on this fresh design to become the face of the company.




Build it (Better), They Will Come
Although you see it first, the exterior of the 200 sedan wasn't the only thing to get redesigned for the 2015 model year. Sixty percent of the body structure now consists of high strength steel and every driving component has been retuned solely for the 200. The team responsible for producing the latest 200 had a simple plan: Make it better and more efficient than what the competition offers, and they will come. If you make a product that makes people want to buy the car, then sales will take care of themselves. Sounds easy enough, right?

Well, not so fast. On paper, that strategy sounds like one of the easiest things you'll do all day. Except building a car, let alone one with less than a sterling reputation, is anything but. Chrysler had a healthy amount of self-awareness when it came to the 200 and took it all into consideration when redesigning the new car. This self-awareness was immediately evident as we sat down in the all-wheel-drive 200C AWD. The interior materials felt solid, the infotainment system worked exactly as it was told, and the new dial transmission knob hopped into place with authority. After getting situated in the cabin, it was then time to see how the entire package came together when rolling down the road.
Underneath the hood, Chrysler offers two options in the form of a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder Tigershark engine and its touted 3.6-liter Pentastar V6.

Both are linked up with a 9-speed automatic transmission making this combination a first for the industry. Using a 9-speed automatic transmission allows the new 200 to take off quicker in first gear and achieve better fuel economy when cruising on the highway. We had a chance to sample both combinations and came away enjoying the 3.6-liter V6 and all 295 of its horses. If you opt for the smaller motivator, you get 184 horsepower, and while the EPA isn't finished certifying it yet, Chrysler has hinted at a 35 highway mpg number. The EPA is also in the process of certifying the 3.6-liter V6 engine, but no word on what to expect yet.

On the Road
During our time with the 2015 Chrysler 200, we sampled a few different trim levels of the midsize sedan including a 200C FWD (for front-wheel drive), 200C AWD, 200S FWD and a 200S AWD. As expected, the 200C FWD with the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine felt a little underwhelming, with power taking its time to show up. This was quickly rectified when we hopped into the 200C AWD with the 3.6-liter V6. Acceleration was plentiful and getting on the highway was a breeze. The Tigershark engine, on the other hand, needed some more time and space to do the same thing. As usual though, fuel economy benefitted from the smaller Tigershark engine but the Pentastar V6 mill was still registering in the mid-20 mpg range.

The transmission worked harmoniously with both engines and even played along when ordered into Sport mode. On the S model, paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel do a fine job for a vehicle in the midsize segment, and don't hinder the volume and tuning toggles hidden behind the spokes. Once on the open road, road and engine noise was kept to a minimum due in part to acoustic treatment of the wheel wells and an optional acoustic windshield and front windows. A new carpet lining the bottom of the interior also helps keep external noises at bay.

A few of the trims we tried, including the 200C AWD, featured Customer Preferred Package 26N (an additional $1,295) which tacks on safety features like Advanced Brake Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Full Speed Forward Collision Warning and Adaptive Cruise Control. There were a few stretches of road along our drive route that allowed us to test out the Adaptive Cruise Control, and we came away pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use and how well it worked. Other features in this option package include rain sensitive wiper blades, Blind Spot Cross Path Detection and Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist with Stop.

The Verdict
This is not your DaimlerChrysler's Sebring. In fact, it's not even remotely close to anything offered to the first-generation 200 model it's replacing. The 2015 Chrysler 200 is so far removed from its predecessor that it's literally a different car. And that's a really good thing. Like the rest of the segment, the 200 will no longer offer a convertible variant, but we think that's a good thing. It will be interesting to see how the 2015 Chrysler 200 stacks up against the competition once we get our mitts on it again. For the time being, though, Fiat-Chrysler should be proud because they gave one of their weakest offerings a real fighting chance in the most competitive segment. That in itself is an enormous accomplishment.

Teste da Automobile Magazine

Healdsburg, California -- We're racing along the Northern California coast in a 2015 Chrysler 200S. Note the verb. Not "plodding," not "touring." Racing. And note the proper noun -- a 2015 Chrysler 200. The ride is decidedly firm. The exhaust pops as we ease off the 295-hp V-6 and onto the brakes, which feel strong and easy to modulate. The electric power steering is heavy and loads up naturally as we turn into another of a seemingly never-ending series of curves.

Styling Unencumbered by European Safety Regulations

Welcome to the new class of American family sedans, which feel neither American nor particularly family-oriented. Like the Ford Fusion, the latest Chrysler 200 exhibits European breeding -- its chassis comes from the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. It also shares with its domestic competitor a coupelike roofline, and it looks a little bit like a Tesla Model S (although this may be more a result of how much the Model S looks like a mid-size sedan). The 200 will be sold only in North America, so Chrysler didn't have to bother meeting global pedestrian-impact regulations. That's how it gets away with a nice, low hood and a grille that's subtle and wide rather than toothy and flat as a billboard. LED taillights are standard; LED headlights (with HID projectors) are optional.

Chrysler will offer the 200 in many trim levels, ranging from a price-leading LX model that rides on steel wheels to the sporty 200S (pictured) and the luxurious 200C, which will compete with the likes of the Lincoln MKZ and the Lexus ES. Like most of its competitors, these trim levels are largely disconnected from the choice of powertrain. The exception is all-wheel drive, which is only offered with the V-6. Chrysler touts its AWD system with its fully disconnecting rear axle for better fuel efficiency by avoiding parasitic losses. You can recognize a so-equipped model by its surprisingly wicked exhaust note. Lead engineer Doug Verley says it's the "happy result" of not having enough room in the center tunnel to fit both a full-size exhaust resonator and all-wheel-drive hardware. There's plenty of bite behind that bark. The normally aspirated 3.6-liter engine delivers its power smoothly at any speed. That's an advantage compared with the somewhat peaky turbo four-cylinders that many competitors now offer in lieu of a V-6.

Pricing Ends Where Lincoln MKZ Begins
The V-6 all-wheel-drive model, which checked in with an eye-watering as-tested price of $34,465, will likely account for a tiny slice of 200 sales. Happily, the four-cylinder model is nearly as entertaining to drive, even though it's predictably slower, with 184 hp and 173 lb-ft of torque. The steering still feels natural, and the handling is still nimble and balanced. Locals courteously pull aside for us on the tighter road sections, surely unaware that they've been chased down by a four-cylinder Chrysler sedan.

All 200s come with a nine-speed automatic transmission. It downshifts roughly around town (Chrysler says a new calibration will address the issue before production). Chrysler expects that 200s with the nine-speed paired with the four-cylinder engine will get 35 mpg on the EPA highway cycle, which is much better than the outgoing model but falls short of the best competitors. The automaker had no city fuel-efficiency estimates as we went to press, but we expect about 21/22 mpg (AWD/FWD) for the V-6 and about 25 mpg for the I-4.

Sporty on the Inside, Too

The interior also looks to sport sedans rather than family sedans for inspiration, mostly to its detriment. Steeply raked roof pillars obstruct outward visibility. There's not a ton of head- or legroom, and high doorsills and a floating center console induce claustrophobia.

The materials are good for a mid-size sedan. Top models feature real wood trim. Even the Limited model we tested (one up from the base model) has soft, nicely grained surfaces. And yet, good for a mid-size sedan still isn't quite good enough to pull off such an intimate design. It's lovely to sit low in a $100,000 Jaguar F-type, ensconced in leather and wood. It's not as pleasant to stare at acres of rubberized plastic in a $30,000 Chrysler. The 200's cabin redeems itself with easy-to-use in-car technology. Chrysler has figured out the perfect combination of touchscreen, buttons, and dials. The shifter, a rotary knob like Jaguar uses, feels just right.

Still, a quick spin in a Honda Accord that Chrysler had on hand for comparison makes painfully clear the compromises that the 200 demands in the name of style.

Those who value outward visibility, comfort, and spaciousness -- traditional hallmarks of an American family sedan -- will want to stick with the Honda.
Those who want an Accord (or a Toyota Camry or a Nissan Altima) will probably buy one regardless of what Chrysler does. Chrysler, like Ford, seems to have embraced the fact that it can't compete with the Japanese stalwarts by copying them. Instead, the 2015 Chrysler 200 should appeal to buyers who want something a bit sportier.

"(...)Since I've never been in a 200 before, I can't tell you how much better this new model is compared to the sedan it replaces. But that's alright, because Chrysler didn't need to just make a better 200, it needed to make a midsize sedan that belongs in the segment, one that can legitimately rival models like the Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Mazda6, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry. Turns out the 2015 200 is an auspicious start on that new course: the new 200 is good, and comes ready for battle.(...)

I give the Chrysler project team full credit for not just making a car better than the one before (which wouldn't have been that hard, based on what colleagues have said), but for also realizing they needed to make a car that could fight the competition and its own terrible reputation."Em 2015 Chrysler 200 First Drive - Autoblog

"La Chrysler ha diffuso nuove immagini ufficiali della 200, la berlina presentata al Salone di Detroit e basata sulla piattaforma C-Wide già utilizzata dall'Alfa Romeo Giulietta. La nuova 200 lancia un nuovo filone stilistico per il marchio americano del Gruppo FCA, sfruttando anche la tecnologia Led per i gruppi ottici, ma raggiunge anche importanti obiettivi in merito alla riduzione dei consumi (fino al 13%) e al confort, grazie alla rigidità strutturale del telaio e, quindi, alla riduzione delle vibrazioni.

Raffinato anche lo schema delle sospensioni, con multi-link posteriore e telaietto in alluminio, abbinato al MacPherson anteriore e a un rapporto piuttosto diretto dello sterzo per gli standard americani. Non a caso il Costruttore parla di un piacere di guida ispirato alle vetture europee, tradizionalmente diverse nelle tarature dell'assetto da quelle destinate al mercato d'oltre oceano.

Un quattro cilindri e un V6. I clienti potranno scegliere tra il 2.4 quattro cilindri Tigershark Multiair2 da 184 CV e il 3.6 V6 Pentastar da 295 CV. Oltre alla trazione anteriore sarà offerta, sulla sola V6, anche la variante integrale con l'asse posteriore capace di ricevere fino al 60% della coppia (in modalità Sport) e scollegabile per la riduzione dei consumi. Importante per lo stesso motivo è la presenza del cambio automatico a nove marce, con oltre 20 strategie di cambiata e il nuovo comando rotante in plancia. Grazie a questa soluzione per la 2.4 la Chrysler dichiara una media autostradale di 6,7 l/100 km secondo la normativa Usa.

L'allestimento. Oltre alle versioni LX, Limited e C, la 200 sarà proposta anche in allestimento S, che nel modello uscente è stato scelto dal 25% della clientela. È caratterizzato da finiture in nero lucido, doppio scarico posteriore e cerchi in lega da 18" o 19" in tinta alluminio scuro.

L'abitacolo è stato studiato nei minimi particolari per offrire elevati standard di qualità. La plancia è stata disegnata intorno al sistema multimediale UConnect con schermo da 8,4 pollici, abbinato alla strumentazione digitale con schermo da 7 pollici e offre capienti portaoggetti nella zona centrale, con un vano dedicati ai dispositivi mobili dei passeggeri.

Prezzi da 21.700 dollari. La Chrysler 200 fa il suo debutto sul mercato americano con prezzi a partire da 21.700 dollari (circa 15.700 euro al cambio attuale) per la versione LX 2.4 con cambio automatico a nove marce. Questo allestimento offre di serie sistema keyless, climatizzatore, divano posteriore frazionato, sistema UConnect 3.0 con presa Usb e impianto audio, luci diurne a Led, strumentazione analogica, sensori pressione pneumatici, freno a mano elettrico con sistema Safe Hold e gruppi ottici posteriori a Led.
