2014 200 Convertible

What to Expect

No details regarding the design or performance specs of the 2014 Chrysler 200 Convertible have been officially released, but we do know that the automaker is planning to take the model in an entirely new direction for 2014. Says Ralph Gilles, Chrysler’s Chief of Design, the new 200 convertible “shares no surface language with any previous Chrysler we’ve ever seen.”

The new Chrysler 200 convertible is expected to be heavily based on the popular European Alfa Romeo Giulietta platform, which is also shared by the new Dodge Dart. If the Dart’s success is any indication, Chrysler lovers will be in for a treat when the new 200 convertible debuts.

We know the stakes are high, as it’s been reported that Chrysler has invested $2 billion into creating this model, so we expect Chrysler to come out swinging by targeting what modern drivers are most concerned with. The interior will most likely feature a brand-new infotainment system with handsfree technology, and the vehicle’s fuel-efficiency will certainly improve—the rumor being that Chrysler will try to reach 40 mpg to compete at the very top of its class.

The Current Model

The current Chrysler 200 Convertible’s baseline LX model comes standard with a 2.4L I-4 engine and 4-speed automatic transmission. The standard powertrain combination gets 173 hp and166 lb-ft of torque, and our guess is that the 2014 model will expand upon that by offering a wide selection of engine and transmission options. It’s a strategy that’s done well in the Dodge Dart, and we think that’s a great indicator of the direction in which Chrysler plans to take the 200.
