In the lighting system the new 200 receives new projector headlamps and fog lamps, LED taillamps, and LED center high-mounted stop light.

For 2011 the Chrysler 200 will be available with a 2.4-liter I-4 World Gas Engine mated to either a four-speed or six-speed automatic transaxle, or the new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transaxle.

Inside the Chrysler 200 has also received some enhancements. The new features include an instrument panel, bezels and gauge face, upgraded seats with a new design, "soft touch" armrests and dash and new heating and cooling outlets in the instrument panel with improved design and functionality.
