2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible Heads to Chicago

Chrysler took the wraps of the new 200 Convertible model in mid-January, but it will be only at this year’s Chicago Auto Show that the car will make its world public debut. The public unveiling will start with the media days on February 9, while consumers will be able to check the car up close and personal starting with February 11.

“The coming out of the stylish new 200 Convertible at the Chicago Auto Show completes the brand transformation in conjunction with the largest consumer auto show in the country,” said Olivier Francois, CEO of Chrysler Brand, Chrysler Group LLC.

“The 200 Convertible is the fourth new vehicle introduced in the last three months coming on the heels of the debuts of the new 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan and 2011 Town & Country minivan in Los Angeles and the introduction of the all-new flagship Chrysler 300 in Detroit. Starting in Chicago, the entire Chrysler product lineup is new for 2011,” Francois continued to say in the statement he has given for the press.

The new 200 Convertible is available with the choice of two power automatically latching tops, a body-color-painted steel retractable hard top, or a cloth soft top, both of which can drop with the press of a button on the key fob.

The vehicle comes available with the new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine or with the 2.4-liter I4 World Gas Engine. Both engines are mated to a six-speed transmission.

The 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible will be available in three different configurations in the United States, namely Touring, Limited and S (late availability), priced from $27,195 (including $750 destination).
