Pros and Cons*
Pros

Smooth ride, top-quality fit and finish and great versatility ...just a few of the highlights that make this convertible stand out.

Cons
Among the sore points we need to mention: the trunk, which is awkward to use and has limited storage space, handling, which is anything but sporty and the fact that there are only two available rear seats.


Price
The Chrysler 200 Convertible has a MSRP of $30,395 and you have to add $695 for a 6-speed automatic instead of the standard 4-speed transmission. This model is delivered with a standard 4-cylinder engine.

The Touring version, at $37,195 is delivered with standard V6.

Limited and S versions start at $39,195 and $40,195 respectively.

Fuel Economy
The 4-cylinder/4-speed combination consumes an estimated 10.3 L/100 km city and 6.9 L/100 km highway.

The 6-speed transmission option lowers this rating to 11.8 L/100 km city and 7.3 L/100 km highway

V6 fuel consumption is rated at 11 L/100 km city and 6.8 L/100 km highway.

Exterior Styling
This elegant convertible has fluid and dynamic lines. The LED tail lights add to the overall refined styling.

Drivetrain
The base 2.4 litre 4-cylinder engine produces 173 hp and 166 lb-ft torque. It is available with either standard 4-speed or optional 6-speed automatic transmissions.

The available 3.6-litre V6 delivers 283 hp and 260 lb-ft torque and is matched to the 6-speed automatic transmission

Cargo Capacity
The trunk volume of the 2013 Chrysler 200 Convertible is 370 litres, or 190 litres with lowered roof.
