Chrysler’s latest attempt to win back a chunk of the popular mid-size segment with the all-new 200 series hasn’t been much of a secret, as we had the opportunity to see the car on multiple occasions these past few days. Now, following its grand premiere in Detroit today, we can show you running footage as well.
You can read our detailed report on the 200 here, but if you want the skinny, it’s an all-new design running on the Fiat-Chrysler Group’s CUS-wide modular platform that is derived from the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and used on many other models including the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee.
Engine options include an 184hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline and a 295hp 3.6-liter V6, both paired to a nine-speed auto, with all-wheel drive available for the first time in the model’s history, which could prove popular in certain regions.
The cars that the Chrysler 200 will go up against when it goes on sale later this year with prices starting from $21,700 plus a $995 destination fee, include the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata and of course, the segment leader, the Toyota Camry.
