Since its official debut at last year’s Detroit Auto Show, the 2015 Chrysler 200 sold like hot cakes. Compared to the fugly first-gen, the second coming of the mid-size luxury sedan is just the start of the marque’s rejuvenation.
Only last month, the nameplate moved 19,190 examples, representing an increase of 155% over Chrysler 200 sales in March, 2014. Then again, the 2015 model year is tenfold the car. Seeing that the 200 is already a complete and easily customizable vehicle from the beginning, Chrysler doesn’t have much space for improvement at the moment.
Until the moment of a thorough redesign comes, the automaker enhanced its entry-level machine with two comfort-oriented optional extra. There’s Ambassador Blue leather upholstery, which can only be had on the 2015 Chrysler 200S. Step up to the range-topping 200C variant of the breed and the options list gains Mocha leather interior.
It’s mum’s guess how much both interior options are going for. Considering that the 200S and the C cost $24,825 and $26,325, respectively, don’t expect them to come cheap. Al Gardner, prez and CEO of Chrysler, didn’t help either, but he mentioned: “By adding two new interior choices, the Chrysler 200 offers fresh options for the driver who wants a car that exudes a style not typically found in the mid-size sedan segment.”
The previously mentioned models are offered as standard with a 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir four-cylinder engine paired to a nine-speed 9HP48 automatic transmission developed by ZF. To improve the 200, buyers can go for AWD rather than front-wheel drive, joined by a 3.6-liter V6 motor paired to a nine-speed 948TE automatic.
