2011 Chrysler 200: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2011 is the debut of the Chrysler 200 as the substantially reworked replacement for the Sebring sedan and convertible. Beyond the new name, it gets redesigned styling, a much nicer and quieter cabin, revised road manners, and a new V6 in the lineup.
About the 2011 Chrysler 200
1st generation (2011-2014), first model year; heavily revised and renamed Sebring-based sedan and convertible.
Chrysler positioned the 200 as a more stylish, more polished alternative to the old Sebring for shoppers who still wanted a familiar front-wheel-drive midsize car. The core pitch was American design, a quieter cabin, improved ride comfort, strong standard safety content, and available V6 power, while the convertible added true four-seat open-air driving. In plain terms, the 200 aimed to feel more upscale and distinctive than many everyday midsize rivals without giving up easy daily use.
The 2011 200 ranges from the straightforward LX to the comfort-focused Limited, with Touring serving as the better-equipped everyday version. The sport-styled S pairs the 3.6-liter V6 with dark exterior details, heated leather and suede-trimmed front seats, and premium Boston Acoustics audio.
