Have you ever imagined how a 2015 Chrysler 200 would look like if it had the profile look of the Mazda 5 people carrier and the space of the Chrysler Town & Country minivan? Neither did we, but that strange combination unexpectedly works as far visuals are concerned.
Considering the package as a whole, automotive graphics manipulator Theophilus Chin might be on to something here. Starting with the foundation of this rendering, the 2015 Chrysler 200 is a pretty big improvement over the former generation model.

The most accessible variant starts at $21,700 and it's packed with high quality cabin materials, boasts a punchy 184 horsepower 2.4-liter TigerShark inline-four and a segment-first nine-speed auto box from ZF.

Due to the fact that Europeans are big fans of hatchbacks and cavernous boots, this MPV variant of the 200 is sure to be more appealing than the all-American sedan version. With seating for seven passengers and enough cubby holes to store all your family's bits and bobs, the Chrysler 200 MPV would really suit the European market. Just imagine a luxury people hauler with a Fiat-sourced turbo diesel under its bonnet and we can all agree that cool moms and dads would be eager to buy one as soon as it hits the showrooms.

As far as aesthetics go, the 200 MPV carries over the profile look of the Mazda 5, but it wears it much better than the Japanese model. Due to the fact that Chrysler is still a struggling brand that desperately tries to revive the glory days in terms of profit and sales volume, it's quite possible that an European-oriented model such as the 200 MPV might do the trick in that direction. Too bad this car has no chances whatsoever of seeing production form.
