The Chrysler 200, a mid-size sedan, was produced by Chrysler from 2011 to 2017 across two generations, offering both four-door sedan and two-door convertible (first generation only) body styles. The 200 nameplate was first introduced on the 200C prototype hybrid vehicle showcased at the 2009 North American International Auto Show, designed to accommodate gasoline, hybrid, or full-electric powertrains. In the first generation (2011), the Chrysler 200 was a reengineered version of the third-generation Chrysler Sebring, featuring a restyled appearance and technical modifications.
