Chrysler 200 vs. Ford Fusion

Chrysler 200 vs. Ford Fusion

Posted on October 1, 2015

There are no similarities that you can draw between
the 2014 and 2015 Chrysler 200. This vehicle has been rebuilt, inside and out,
by Chrysler to once again make it a force to be reckoned with in the ever
popular, ultra-competitive, mid-sized 5 passenger sedan segment. With new
technology, enhanced performance and a sleek, sophisticated new look the
Chrysler 200 stands out among its competitive models.

Chrysler has done a lot to make the 200 the most
powerful vehicle in its class and compared to the Ford Fusion. Built on same
platform as Alfa Romero Julieta, Chrysler’s engineers logged over 600 hours of
wind tunnel time fine tuning the exterior to give this car unsurpassed
aerodynamics in its class. The new power and performance behind the Chrysler
200’s 3.6 liter V6 engine is something drivers want to take note of when
comparing to the Ford Fusion. This 200’s engine pumps out a class leading 295-hp
while the Fusion only give out 181-hp on its 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder.
If you like a powerful car with a deep, throaty sounding engine the Chrysler
200 is a great pick when compared to the Ford Fusion.

The Chrysler 200 is again an industry leader in
another category, one which is not something you typically think of with
Chrysler. That category is technology. The 200 has a large list of advanced
features, both interior and safety, that gives it the technological edge over
the Ford Fusion. These interior features include Chryslers Uconnect, an 8.34
inch touch screen video with 3D navigation, built in Wifi, live weather radar,
a rear view backup camera. Some of the safety features include, forward
collision warning, parallel and perpendicular park assist, blind spot
monitoring system and rear cross path detection. The 200 also has downloadable
apps to keep you updated on your vehicles information when on the go. Ford’s MyFord
Touch is comparable to Chrysler’s UConnect but other safety features like lane
detection and lane assist make the Chrysler 200 a standout in the tech ology
department

Moving into the car’s interior is one spot where
the Chrysler 200 only slightly edges out the Ford Fusion. Both have a luxurious
feeling interior, unlike what we have seen in other models like in our Honda Accord model comparison. The Chrysler 200 has some
outstanding subtle features. LED ambient lighting and real wood grain materials
are some of the key highlights. A slide away cup holder that reveals extra
storage space and rotary shift transmission gives way for lots of room in the
interior front cabin making room for more storage space than the Ford Fusion or
any other model in its class.

Chrysler has done a lot different with the 200’s
2015 model. Vast improvement in performance, class leading technology and
interior storage and safety features make this car our top pick for 5 passenger
mid-sized sedans. Crosstown Chrysler Jeep Dodge is your best choice for picking up your
