CarHub · Chrysler
The Chrysler 200 is one of those American mid-size sedans that almost never left North America, which is exactly why it draws interest from European buyers who want something different from the usual German or Japanese saloon.
Model profile
There are two distinct generations. The first (2011-2014) was essentially a heavily reworked Sebring, offered as both a sedan and a soft-top convertible. It cleaned up the styling and interior noticeably, but the bones were older. The second generation (2015-2017) is the one most people picture: a genuinely new car built on the Compact US Wide platform shared with the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee.
Powertrain and equipment
The second-generation 200 came with two engines. The base unit is the 2.4-litre Tigershark inline-four (MultiAir), rated around 184 hp, driving the front wheels.
The 2015-2017 sedan lineup ran LX, Limited, 200S (the sporty look with darker trim and available AWD) and the leather-lined 200C. Typical equipment included Uconnect touchscreens, heated seats, dual-zone climate and, on higher cars, ventilated seats, a panoramic roof and driver-assist features.
Vehicle selection
The 200 sold in large numbers as a rental and fleet car, which means supply on the American used market is deep and body styles and colours are easy to find.
Import a used Chrysler 200 if you want a comfortable, distinctive American sedan that stands out in a German car park and costs little to buy in the States.

Pre-purchase review
Chrysler 200 reliability is a mixed but manageable picture. The recurring talking point is the nine-speed automatic: early 2015 cars could shift harshly, hunt for gears or hesitate, and several software flashes were issued to smooth it out. A car that has had those updates behaves far better, so confirm the transmission control software is current.
Germany and Europe
US-market cars run amber rear indicators integrated differently from EU norms, miles-per-hour instrumentation, and no rear fog lamp as standard.
Typical work includes fitting a rear fog lamp, adapting the lighting to ECE standards, and converting or documenting the odometer in kilometres.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
Selection: we help you shortlist the right trim and drivetrain. Escrow: funds are held securely until the car is verified.
Questions and answers
With the transmission software updated and a documented service history, the 200 is a dependable used sedan. Avoid neglected fleet cars.
