Pros and Cons*
Pros
Top quality finish and materials, reliability, quiet interior, smooth ride and great value are a few of the many attributes of the 2013 Chrysler 200.
Cons
Boring interior, vague steering, thirsty 4-cyliner engine and uncharismatic overall appearance are all very obvious flaws.
Price
The Chrysler 200 LX starts at $19,995, to which an additional $695 must be added for a 6-speed automatic instead of the standard 4-speed automatic version.. This model is delivered with a standard 4-cylinder engine.
The Touring version, at $24,295 is available with an optional V6, which raises the total to $26,295.
The Limited, at $26,995, comes with the standard 4-cylinder/6-speed transmission combination and is available with a V6 for an additional $1,305.
The S model, at $29,205, is delivered with standard V6 engine.
Fuel Economy
The 4-cylinder/4-speed combination consumes an estimated 10 L/100 km city and 6.9 L/100 km highway. The 6-speed transmission option lowers this rating to 10.6 L/100 km city and 6.5 L/100 km highway.
V6 fuel consumption is rated at 11 L/100 km city and 6.8 L/100 km highway.
Exterior Styling
The 200 is built off the Dodge Avenger platform but manages to retain its own unique styling with its fluid lines and distinctive rear chrome strip.
Drivetrain
The base 2.4 litre 4-cylinder engine produces 173 hp and 166 lb-ft torque. It is available with either standard 4-speed or optional 6-speed automatic transmission.
The 3.6-litre V6 delivers 283 hp and 260 lb-ft torque and is matched to the 6-speed automatic transmission.
Cargo Capacity
The trunk of the 2013 Chrysler 200 holds up to 390 litres.

The 2013 Chrysler 200, with its 6 airbags, is a 2013 IIHS Top Safety Pick.
