Chrysler 200 Vs. Honda Accord

Vehicle Comparison

Chrysler 200 Honda Accord

The 200 mid-size sedan and convertible soldier on for 2014,

before they're expected to be replaced by an all-new

model. For the 2014 model year, the changes are very minor.

Value continues to be the 200's strongest offering, though its handsomely styled interior is a win for some shoppers.

The Chrysler 200 (formerly called the Chrysler Sebring) sedan

and convertible were revamped in 2011, and it wasn't a

moment too soon. The Sebring had been received poorly, for

inexpensive interiors and overwrought sheetmetal, not to

mention a general lack of refinement. With the 200, Chrysler

corrected course, but only brought its mid-sizer up to par,

while so many family sedans had been truly reinvented. And

that last rehabilitation only went so far; since 2011, par has

changed, with the 200 again looking off-pace.

The silhouette of the Chrysler 200 has a way of tricking you

into thinking the cabin is somewhat small for a mid-size

sedan--and the combination of the tall dash, wide seats,

and narrower glass areas add to that visual trick. Once you

climb in you'll be a convert; whether by the numbers or from

inside, the 200 stacks up really well against segment leaders

like the Hyundai Sonata. Even in back, there's enough space

for two adults, or three in a pinch, although the high beltline

might require some Dramamine.

The 200 looks dated on the outside, but it feels up to

Volkswagen standards on the inside, and it includes

materials and finishes that are a world better than the old hard plastics. Likewise, Chrysler has doubled up on insulation

to make the 200's interior a very quiet place (except for the

coarse four-cylinder engine's note), and softened the ride.

While handling and ride quality might still not be its

forte, the 200's 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 and six-speed

automatic are a strong, refined combination and

the base four-cylinder and six-speed automatic is a

tolerable combo. Stay away from the base four-

speed automatic in the LX; they're mostly

relegated to fleets anyway.

The Chrysler 200 is missing some of the active-safety

features now offered in other mid-size sedans, yet

it's a safe, secure pick, with top ratings in previous

years from both the Insurance Institute for Highway

Safety (IIHS) and federal government.
