2015 Chrysler 200: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2015 Chrysler 200 is a complete redesign that starts its second generation. It has a new platform, body, cabin, and standard powertrain hardware rather than a simple styling update.
About the 2015 Chrysler 200
2nd generation Chrysler 200 (2015-2017), first year of the redesign.
Chrysler positioned the 200 as a midsize sedan for shoppers who wanted a more upscale look and feel than the usual family sedan without moving into a luxury brand. The brand leaned on sleek styling, a quieter and more carefully finished cabin, easy-to-use tech, a standard 9-speed automatic, and the rare availability of AWD in this class. Against rivals like the Accord, Camry, and Fusion, Chrysler emphasized style, comfort, and near-premium cabin feel more than maximum rear-seat space.
The 2015 200 ranges from the straightforward LX to the comfort-focused Limited, sport-styled 200S, and upscale 200C. The LX has push-button start and a rotary shifter, while the Limited adds a touchscreen and Bluetooth. The 200S stands out with black exterior trim and paddle shifters, while the 200C has leather, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and a rearview camera.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
A 2.4-liter four-cylinder becomes the standard engine, and every 200 gets a 9-speed automatic transmission. Upper trims add V6 and all-wheel-drive versions, while the flexible-fuel powertrains previously offered on LX and Limited are dropped.
Styling
The exterior and interior are completely redesigned. The new car has a lower, sleeker sedan shape along with a new dashboard and center-console layout.
Safety
An electronic parking brake with SafeHold becomes standard. The redesigned 200 also offers a much broader range of driver-assistance technology than the previous model.
Tech
The redesign brings a rotary gear selector, updated touchscreen systems, and a more modern driver information display.
Structural
The 200 moves to a new Compact U.S.-Wide platform with a new chassis, improved aerodynamics, and an all-wheel-drive system that disconnects the rear axle when it is not needed.

2015 Chrysler 200
(1,385 reviews)
“This is a very sporty yet affordable vehicle. I do recommend researching the brand but so far no big issues other than an oil leak which ended up being something expected by the brand.”
“Wish the car had a slight tint of windows to help keep harmful sun rays out. Also wish that it had the XM Radio installed in the base model like the previous car I had owned. Also the Sunglasses holder of the roof rattles when it is empty as well as has a pair on sunglasses in it. Mine is open all the time so that the rattle stops”
