Launched in a sector of talented and well-established model lineages, the all-new Chrysler 200 had to be very good to compete against rivals like the Toyota Camry or VW Passat.
ConsumerReports recently got its hands on 2.4-liter MultiAir powered version of the 200 and it seems that the car really managed to impress the road test team. They say it looks nice and distinctive; it drives well, its base power plant feels better than it does in other models, the interior is substantial and the technology is all on board.
On first impressions, then, the 200 is deemed apt to fight it out in the mid-sized sedan class, where it sits on the side of style, a space it shares with the Hyundai Sonata and the sleek-looking Fusion from Ford or Mazda6. This makes rear access a bit of a pain, but it seems to be worth it for that extra bit of elegance in the C-pillar area.
