The 2012 Chrysler 200 is part of the model's first generation, and brings performance and comfort at a reasonable price. It comes with two engine options — a base 2.4L four-cylinder that produces 173 horsepower and a 3.6L V6 engine that pushes out an impressive 283 horsepower. Transmission is provided by a six-speed automatic, with a four-speed automatic optional on certain trims. There are four trims available: LX, Touring, Limited and S. Key safety features include stability control, antilock brakes, front side airbags and curtain-type airbags. Infotainment highlights include a touchscreen interface and a Boston Acoustics sound system depending on the trim. Chrysler made minor changes in cabin quality and style in this model, compared to its predecessor.
