2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible Price

Chrysler Announces 2011 200 Convertible Pricing, Starts at $26,445

The 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible will be offered on the USA market with a choice between a 2.4-liter World Gas engine developing 173 hp and 166 lb.-ft. of torque and a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine developing 283 hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible V6 will be coupled with a 62TE six-speed transmission and will offer a 19 mpg city and 29 mpg highway fuel consumption.

The entry-level Touring model starts from $26,445, sure, but the step up to the Limited model will cost you $31,240, while the in-house custom S is yet to be priced, but sure to be even pricier. Considering the Fusion, Legacy, and Sonata don't offer convertible versions, though, perhaps it's a premium some will be willing to pay to stay in the segment. The $5,000-$6,000 premium over the price of an equivalent 200 sedan will require some justification to the buyer's significant other, too.
