The scouts from KGP Photography have scored a set of photos of the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan while it was driving around without any kind of protective gear, giving us an unobstructed view of the car.
Chrysler's designers came up with a complete new figure for the 200 that bears no resemblance to its bland predecessor. If you insist on playing the age-old game of "what does it remind me?", my first thought was a Tesla Model D for Dodge Dart – if that makes any sense…
Underneath the new sheetmetal, the 200 rides on the Fiat-Chrysler group's modular Compact U.S. Wide platform shared with the also new Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee models .
Chrysler fan site Allpar reported that the North American version of the 200 will likely come with the same selection of 184hp 2.4-liter four-cylinder and 271hp 3.2-liter V6 as the Cherokee , with the possible addition of a more potent 3.6-liter V6. Power will be channeled to the front wheels through a nine-speed ZF automatic.
Chrysler has said that the new 200 sedan will be introduced in January at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show .
