2017 Chrysler 200 Used Price Estimates

Though the 2017 Chrysler 200 isn't the most popular midsize sedan vying for your attention this year, it does have a fairly appealing mix of attributes. It looks good, it's got a strong available V6 engine, its tech interface is easy to use, and its crash test scores are about as good as they get. It's also a safe bet that you'll be able to buy a 200 for a lower price than what you'll pay for many other sedans.

However, those competing sedans have been building upon years and even decades of class-leading products. In this shadow, the 200 starts to fade. Its base four-cylinder engine produces slow, noisy acceleration and unremarkable fuel economy. Perhaps more troublesome is the lack of interior space, which will be obvious should you drive any of its competitors back to back. Whether you're carrying around adult friends, bigger kids or even strapping down rear-facing child safety seats, the 200 is probably not the ideal choice.

If those are concerns, we would highly recommend considering the Chevrolet Malibu, 2017 Ford Fusion and Mazda 6 as alternatives. All offer compelling styling and enjoyable driving experiences but without the 200's significant practicality disadvantage. The 2017 Honda Accord is another can't-lose proposition. And if you're interested in the 200's available all-wheel-drive system, you'll find that feature available at a much lower price (and with much better fuel economy) in the 2017 Subaru Legacy. As long as you don't need a giant rear seat, though, we view a V6-equipped Chrysler 200 as an overlooked and likely satisfying sedan.

The 2017 Chrysler 200 comes standard with traction and stability control, antilock brakes, front side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and front knee airbags. A rearview camera is optional on the base LX and standard on other trims. The Driver Assist package, available only on the Limited Platinum, adds a blind-spot warning system and rear cross-traffic alert. The SafetyTec package, available only on the 200C Platinum, includes forward collision warning, brake assistance, blind-spot and lane departure warning, rear-cross traffic alert, along with adaptive cruise control, automatic wipers, and an automated parallel and perpendicular parking system.

In government crash tests, the 200 received a full five stars for overall protection, with five stars awarded for both front- and side-impact protection. In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash testing, the 200 earned the top score of Good in the moderate-overlap front-impact, small-overlap front-impact, side-impact, roof strength and head restraint (whiplash protection) tests. Also in IIHS testing, the effectiveness of the 200's optional frontal collision warning and automatic braking systems earned a top rating of Superior. IIHS also named the 200 a Top Safety Pick+.

During testing, a 200S AWD came to a stop from 60 mph in 119 feet, a bit better than average for this segment. However, a four-cylinder 200 Limited required a longer 129 feet.

The 2017 Chrysler 200 is a midsize sedan available in LX, Touring, Limited Platinum, 200S, 200S Alloy Edition and 200C Platinum trim levels.

Standard equipment on the LX includes 17-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, keyless ignition and entry, cruise control, air-conditioning, height-adjustable front seats, a 60/40-split folding rear seat, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and a four-speaker sound system with an auxiliary audio jack and a USB port. The optional Uconnect 5.0 package for the LX adds a 5-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, and Bluetooth phone and audio connectivity.

The Touring adds 17-inch alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, floor mats and Uconnect 5.0. The Touring Convenience Group adds a rearview camera and an eight-way power driver seat with four-way power lumbar adjustment.

When you go with the 200 Limited Platinum you get 17-inch alloy wheels, front LED running lights, different exterior and interior trim, a rearview camera, power-adjustable heated front seats (eight-way driver, six-way passenger), leather upholstery, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a six-speaker sound system, satellite radio and the upgrade Uconnect 8.4 system that features a bigger (8.4-inch) touchscreen and improved functionality. Navigation can be added to Uconnect 8.4.

The Travel and Safety Group adds the heated mirrors, remote engine start, leather-wrapped steering wheel and power front seats. The Comfort Group adds remote engine start, heated mirrors, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and an auto-dimming mirror. To those items, the Comfort and Convenience Group adds dual-zone automatic climate control and rear air vents. A sunroof and a blind-spot warning system can be added as separate options.

The 200S adds to the standard Limited content different exterior and interior trim, 18-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, heated mirrors, foglights, power-adjustable heated front sport seats, cloth/leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and satellite radio. Available options include the blind-spot warning system, Uconnect 8.4, a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats with full leather upholstery, the 200S Comfort Group (includes all Comfort and Convenience items), the Premium Lighting Group (xenon headlights and LED foglights) and the Navigation and Sound Group (Uconnect 8.4, navigation system software, HD radio, traffic information and a nine-speaker sound system).

The 200S Alloy Edition just adds special dark bronze exterior trim, including 19-inch wheels.

Finally, there's the 200C Platinum. It reverts to the regular front seats but gets its own suspension design and includes the 200S’ other extra equipment, the Comfort and Convenience Group items, the Premium Lighting Group items, full leather seating, upgraded gauges, Uconnect 8.4 and a 10-speaker Alpine audio system. You can also add the Navigation and Sound Group, 19-inch wheels, the panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, navigation system and the SafetyTec package (see Safety section). Furthermore, the Premium Group adds a two-tone, heated steering wheel, upgraded interior trim, driver memory settings, upgraded leather upholstery and ventilated front seats.

Every 2017 Chrysler 200 trim level comes standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain produces 184 horsepower and 173 pound-feet of torque, and at the test track the 200 needed 9 seconds to go from zero to 60 mph. That's a second off the class average and makes the 200 one of the slowest cars in the segment.

We expect EPA-estimated fuel economy figures for 2017 to be similar to those from last year, which were 28 mpg combined (23 city/36 highway). That's average for the segment, but there are others that perform better while also producing stronger acceleration.

The 200S and 200C Platinum can be equipped with a 3.6-liter V6 good for 295 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. It too comes standard with a nine-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is an option. Unlike the four-cylinder, the V6's 0-60 acceleration of 6.2 seconds puts it among the quickest in the class. EPA-estimated fuel economy in 2016 was 23 mpg combined (19 city/32 highway) with front-wheel drive. AWD lowers fuel economy to 22 mpg combined (18 city/29 highway).

If you take the 2017 Chrysler 200 for a test drive, you might find its standard four-cylinder to be adequate enough for highway merging and passing maneuvers. However, should you take a competitor for a spin thereafter, you're likely to notice that the 200's four-cylinder is slower, louder and coarser in its operation. Its standard nine-speed automatic transmission can also aggravate with its slow responses and its propensity to be in the wrong gear at the wrong time. That's also the case when the nine-speed is connected to the optional 3.6-liter V6, but at least that has enough guts to make you momentarily forget. Truly, the 200's V6 is one of the stronger engine upgrades in the segment.

If you're hoping for the 200's sharp styling to be backed up with a similarly sharp driving experience, we recommend opting for the 200S trim level and its sport-tuned suspension. The setup gives the car a buttoned-down feel around tight turns and makes it one of the better-handling midsize sedans. The 200S' ride is noticeably firmer and not as comfortable, especially on the available 19-inch wheels, so many will prefer the standard suspension calibration or the 200C Platinum's "ride and handling" suspension upgrade.

The Chrysler 200's thoroughly modern cabin design is one of its highlights. It's shown in its best light in the 200S and 200C with their upgraded materials and optional 8.4-inch Uconnect interface. Its large touchscreen is intuitive, with large virtual icons and a simple menu structure. Just about anyone should be able to figure it out.

That said, we've also spent time in a Limited model with cloth upholstery and the standard 5-inch audio display. It doesn't look quite as state-of-the-art, but it's still a comfortable and functional interior furnished with decent enough materials. Plus, in every 200 model, the rotary transmission shifter clears away space for a clever multilevel center storage area that provides plenty of places to store various items. Bigger things should fit quite easily in the 16-cubic-foot trunk that compares well with rival sedans.

Unfortunately, the 200 isn't as roomy for people and in fact is smaller than all of its midsize sedan rivals. There's less hiproom up front, and headroom might feel a bit tighter, while there is considerably less leg- and headroom in the back. Unlike other midsize sedans, it will be a struggle for one 6-footer to sit behind another. The lower, sloping roof also restricts visibility and might make the 200 feel a bit claustrophobic in back as well.

Our 2017 Chrysler 200 sedan equipped with the 2.4-liter engine left us unimpressed with both its sluggish performance and lack of refinement. It has a long way to go before reaching Honda Accord or Toyota Camry levels. But, once we moved over to a 200 Limited Platinum with the 295-horsepower Pentastar V6, it felt like we were driving a completely different car. Acceleration is blisteringly quick for a family sedan, and gets even better when the 9-speed automatic transmission is placed into Sport mode. Zero-to-60 times are in the 6-second range, which is better than some pricey European luxury sedans. The 200’s steering is nicely weighted and very responsive, better than most in this class. While the Limited Platinum places an emphasis on ride comfort, the 200S, with its sport-tuned suspension and aggressive wheel-and-tire setup, should hold strong appeal with driving enthusiasts.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE Chrysler’s 2017 200 family sedan offers a rather special all-wheel-drive setup. Unlike the Subaru Legacy’s permanently engaged system, when the 200’s AWD isn’t needed the rear axle electronically disconnects, helping to reduce fuel-consuming drag. INTERIOR Chrysler may arguably be creating some of the most detailed and beautiful interiors in the family-car segment, and the 2017 200 sedan is no exception. A sophisticated use of wood, leather and lighting augments unique interior components such as the satin-finished rotary gear selector.

As we just touched on above, Chrysler’s 200 for 2017 features one of the most refined and tasteful interiors in the midsize-sedan segment. Available power-adjustable seats in leather can be fitted with heated and ventilated elements. Interior accents like real wood with an exposed edge stretching across the dashboard give the 200 a refined feel on the inside. Regrettably, all the luxury in the world can’t compensate for the 200’s smallish rear seat and snug headroom.

Boasting a coupe-like profile, the Chrysler’s 2017 200 sedan's sleek lines guide your eyes from the front to the back of the 4-door. Up front, the new Chrysler badge appears to be floating in the grille and is flanked by projector-beam headlights. Aiming for a "timeless, exciting" look, the company is using this fresh design as a template for the face of future Chryslers.

Multi-stage airbags, Uconnect infotainment with a USB port, keyless entry and start, an electronic parking brake, rearview camera and cruise control are just a few of the 2017 Chrysler 200 LX’s notable standard features. Also on the list are power windows and door locks, a tilt/telescoping steering column, steering-wheel audio controls, 60/40-split rear seats and 17-inch steel wheels with full wheel covers. Touring trims include the Uconnect 5.0 upgrade and 17-inch alloy wheels, while the Limited Platinum trim brings power to driver and passenger seats, and offers heated front seats covered in leather.

The SafetyTec package will set you back less than $ 1,300, but brings features like Advanced Brake Assist, rain-sensing windshield wipers, Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Park Assist along with it. The other optional package we recommend springing for is Navigation and Sound Group 1. This includes features like navigation, HD radio and an 8.4-inch Uconnect touch screen.

If it’s fuel efficiency you’re after, then we recommend equipping your 2017 Chrysler 200 with the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. What the 4-cylinder lacks in power, it makes up for in mpg. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, on the other hand, serves up power much quicker, but fuel economy does suffer a tad. No matter which engine you decide to go with, though, a new 9-speed automatic transmission rows through the gears allowing for highway fuel economy to stretch out.2.4-liter inline-4184 horsepower @ 6,250 rpm173 lb-ft of torque @ 4,600 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 23/36 mpg3.6-liter V6295 horsepower @ 6,350 rpm262 lb-ft of torque @ 4,250 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 19/31 mpg (FWD), 18/28 mpg (AWD)Note: Due to changes in EPA testing to more effectively reflect real-world conditions, some 2017 models show slightly lower fuel-economy scores than their 2016 versions.

For a base 2017 Chrysler 200 LX family sedan, you’re looking at a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of just over $ 24,000, which includes a $ 1,095 destination fee. On the other end of the spectrum, a fully loaded 200C can set you back $ 38,000, but this is with optional all-wheel drive and every option including both the panoramic sunroof, SafetyTec ($ 1,295) and Navigation and Sound Group 1 ($ 895). When looking at the competition, the 2017 200’s starting price is within a couple hundred dollars of the Honda Accord sedan and Toyota Camry. Check out the KBB Fair Purchase Price to get a better idea of what folks in your area are paying for their 2017 Chrysler 200s. As for resale, the 200 is holding average values, not nearly as strong as the Camry or Accord, but definitely on par with the Ford Fusion, Buick Regal and Chevrolet Malibu.
