The Chrysler 200 Convertible, a sleek and stylish offering from the American automaker, boasted a blend of modern design and classic convertible charm. Introduced in 2011 as a 2012 model year, the 200 Convertible aimed to revitalize the Chrysler brand with a contemporary appeal. The convertible version of the 200, based on the 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan, featured a power-operated soft top that could be lowered in just 18 seconds. This added a touch of open-air freedom to the already stylish compact car. The 200 Convertible sported a distinctive profile with a raked windshield, sculpted body lines, and a shorter wheelbase compared to its sedan counterpart. Inside, the cabin was designed with a driver-centric focus, offering comfortable seating, a refined interior, and a suite of available features, including a touchscreen infotainment system, navigation, and a premium sound system.
Under the hood, the 2012 Chrysler 200 Convertible was offered with two engine options: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine outputting 173 horsepower and a more powerful 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine generating 283 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth and efficient performance. Despite its sporty nature, the 200 Convertible also offered a comfortable ride, thanks to its well-tuned suspension and responsive steering. The 200 Convertible's combination of style, features, and performance made it a compelling option for those seeking a modern and fun-to-drive convertible experience. The convertible model, however, was discontinued after the 2014 model year as Chrysler shifted its focus towards other models and the overall decline in convertible sales.
