2011 Chrysler 200 Achieves 31 MPG Highway

Chrysler’s refined new entry in the mid-size sedan segment—the 2011 Chrysler 200—has been winning over critics with its fresh and sophisticated good looks, improved powertrains, and premium content, and now the car has something else to offer: An official EPA rating of 31 mpg highway, which goes along with a mark of 20 mpg in city driving. And the 200 reaches those levels thanks to an advanced I4 engine that delivers 173 hp—more horsepower than the four-cylinder motivation found in rivals like the Toyota Camry or Chevrolet Malibu.

 But that’s just for starters: The 200 also is available with the Chrysler Group’s innovative new Pentastar V6 as well. This mighty mill is the most powerful standard V6 among the 200’s mainstream competitors, providing drivers with a full 283 hp. Even the turbocharged version of the Hyundai Sonata comes up short against that many horses, yet the Chrysler product still delivers a robust 19 mpg city/29 mpg highway.
