2011 Chrysler 200 Going to Europe as a Lancia

October 14, 2010

Fiat plans to sell the 2011 Chrysler 200 as Lancia in Europe, except in the UK and Ireland. In the UK and Ireland, the 200 will be sold as Chrysler, said Automotive News Europe. In Europe, the Chrysler 200 is expected to compete with cars like the Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Passat and the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia.

Expected to hit US shores later this year, the 2011 Chrysler 200 will come equipped with a 2.4L in-line 4-cylinder World Gas Engine that is mated to either a 4-speed or 6-speed automatic transmission. The top-of-the-line model will come equipped with the new Pentastar V6 engine that generates up to 283-hp and 260 lb-ft, and comes mated standard to a 6-speed automatic.

Earlier this week, Chrysler released the first photos of the 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan, a vehicle designed to replace the Chrysler Sebring. The new sedan was first unveiled in Orlando, Florida.

The 2011 Chrysler 200 will be built at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan and will arrive in dealerships later this year. The new sedan’s exterior and sheet metal upgrades includes, front and rear fascias and fenders, grille featuring the new Chrysler brand winged badge, hood, rear decklid and exterior mirrors, new projector headlamps and fog lamps, new LED taillamps and a LED centre high-mounted stop light.
