Chrysler 200 Performance Overview
Chrysler’s 200 occupied the brand’s midsize sedan slot from 2011 to 2016, and across 11 verified tests it traces a short, gasoline-only performance arc defined by naturally aspirated four-cylinder and Pentastar V6 power. The first generation (2011–2014) was centered on the 283-hp Pentastar V6, with the 2011 Limited V6 setting the early pace at 6.3 seconds to 60 mph. That generation averaged 6.8 seconds in 0-60 testing, establishing the model as consistently mid-pack in straight-line acceleration rather than unusually quick or unusually slow.
The second generation, sold here from 2015 to 2016, expanded the range to 184–295 hp while retaining naturally aspirated gasoline engines. Early four-cylinder versions stretched to 8.7 seconds in the 2015 C, but V6 trims moved the record forward: the 2015 S V6 reached 60 mph in 6.0 seconds, then the 2016 Limited Platinum V6 delivered the model’s best figures at 5.7 seconds to 60 and a 14.3-second quarter-mile at 100 mph. As the 200 stands today in the data, its final form was also its quickest, with the last V6 cars representing the high point of the nameplate’s measured performance.

How we verify Chrysler 200 performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Chrysler 200 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
