2016 Chrysler 200: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2016 Chrysler 200 was a late-year lineup expansion with Touring, Limited Platinum, and 200C Platinum trims. Otherwise, the 200 was largely unchanged from its 2015 redesign.
About the 2016 Chrysler 200
2nd generation (2015-2017), second model year, no major refresh.
Chrysler marketed the 200 as a style-forward midsize sedan with a more upscale look and cabin than many mainstream rivals. The brand leaned hard on its sleek coupe-like shape, quiet interior, available V6 and AWD, and easy-to-use cabin technology. For most shoppers, the 200’s core appeal was getting an American midsize sedan that felt more premium inside than its price class suggested, while still offering everyday comfort and strong highway manners.
The 2016 200 lineup ranged from the straightforward LX, with a four-cylinder engine and nine-speed automatic, to the sport-styled 200S, with a sport suspension and paddle shifters. The comfort-focused 200C added heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Late-year Limited Platinum and 200C Platinum versions bundled more upscale cabin, lighting, and audio equipment.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
Flexible-fuel versions joined the 200C, 200S, LX, and Limited trims. The core 2.4-liter four-cylinder and 3.6-liter V6 engine lineup otherwise carried over.
Styling
Chrysler added a 90th Anniversary Package for the Limited, followed later in the model year by Touring, Limited Platinum, and 200C Platinum trims. The body and main exterior design were unchanged.
Safety
A rearview camera became standard on the 200S and Limited. There was no lineup-wide change to the car's safety suite.
Tech
The 8.4-inch touchscreen system gained Siri Eyes Free and a customizable drag-and-drop menu bar. The 200C also made its phone integration, premium audio, and heated steering wheel standard.
