About the 2013 Chrysler 200

1st gen (2011-2014), third year, late-cycle update before the all-new 2015 sedan.

Chrysler positioned the 200 as a comfort-focused midsize car with a more upscale look and quieter cabin than many shoppers expected at this price point, leaning heavily on the brand’s “Imported from Detroit” message. In sedan form it was the softer, more style-driven alternative to sharper rivals, with optional V6 power for easy highway performance. The range also stood out by still offering a convertible, giving the 200 an easygoing cruiser role that most midsize competitors no longer had.

For 2013, the sedan range runs from the simple four-cylinder LX to the comfort-focused Touring and V6-powered Limited; the package-coded LX Z combines basic trim with V6 power. The S convertible is the style-focused version, with black exterior accents, leather seats with digital-suede inserts, and a power cloth top.
