Description

The 2015 Chrysler 200 has two engine options: a 184-horsepower four-cylinder and a 295-horsepower V6, which is available in the 200S and 200C trims. A nine-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard; all-wheel drive is available with the V6. The V6 hustles the 200 up to speed briskly and remains quiet on the highway. The four-cylinder yields acceptable punch, but it sounds gravelly under hard acceleration. The nine-speed automatic transmission feels unrefined as well. It tends to upshift and downshift too frequently under normal driving conditions. The 200s ride and handling impress most drivers. The sedan feels well-controlled and agile when rounding turns. Its suspension soaks up bumps and dips in the road nicely. The brakes slow the car confidently, and though the 200s steering is responsive, it feels a bit heavy. Does the 2015 Chrysler 200 Get Good Gas Mileage? The 200 sedan with its four-cylinder engine gets an EPA-rated 23 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, which are decent numbers by class standards. The V6s fuel economy falls short of class rivals, at just 19-31 mpg city-highway (18-28 mpg with AWD).
