Used Chrysler 200: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Chrysler 200 from 2011 to 2017, across 2 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $4,500 to $9,500), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2011–2014, 2016–2017. Look harder at or skip 2015.
2015–2017 Chrysler 200
A stylish midsize sedan with a quiet cabin.
Years to target: 2016–2017. Look harder at or skip: 2015. It has a below-average reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | $8,000 | Skip | 5 of 5 | ~135,000 |
| 2016 | $9,000 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~125,000 |
| 2017 | $9,500 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~115,000 |
Worth knowing
- Skip 2015. The nine-speed automatic had rough, erratic shifting in the first year and needed repeated software updates.
- 2015: owner complaints spike (1,991, mostly the electrical system).
- The nine-speed automatic can feel unrefined, and the cramped rear seat and early discontinuation hurt resale.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for a Limited or S with the 3.6-liter V6: it brings much stronger acceleration and available AWD, and these trims add more comfort features than the LX.
On the test drive
Feel for jerky or delayed shifts from the nine-speed automatic at low speeds. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: optional from 2015, never standard in this generation.
- Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2015, never standard in this generation.
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.

2011–2014 Chrysler 200
A low-priced midsize sedan and convertible with a dated, budget interior.
Years to target: 2011–2014. It has a below-average reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011 | $4,500 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~140,000 |
| 2012 | $5,000 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~130,000 |
| 2013 | $5,500 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~120,000 |
| 2014 | $6,000 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~110,000 |
Worth knowing
- Depreciation makes it cheap, but reliability and refinement trail Japanese rivals, so expect more repairs.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for a Touring or Limited with the 3.6-liter V6: it is far stronger and smoother than the base four, and the Limited adds leather and heated front seats.
On the test drive
Listen for ticking from the V6 and make sure the automatic shifts without flaring. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: not offered in this generation.
- Adaptive cruise control: not offered in this generation.
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.
