Production of the 2015 Chrysler 200, the vehicle that will mark the beginning of design revolution at Chrysler, is scheduled to commence in early 2014, the Detroit-based automaker revealed.
The redesigned Chrysler 200 will be built at Chrysler’s Sterling Heights assembly plant in Michigan, the same facility where a midsize sedan meant to replace the Dodge Avenger will be produced.

As we already mentioned, the 2015 Chrysler 200 will be underpinned by the company’s CUSW platform, also shared by the Dodge Dart and the brand new 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Little is known about the sedan’s powertrain, but the new 200 will become available with Chrysler’s new nine-speed automatic transmission.

“The new 200 is going to be a different car. People will wake up and come to buy that car. The new 200 is a complete home run. It’s got that strength of a very, very expensive European sedan like a Mercedes, but it’s definitively American,” Chrysler dealer David Kelleher said last month.
