The Chrysler 200C EV is a plug-in hybrid electric concept car built by the U.S. automaker Chrysler.

Overview

The vehicle was based on the shortened Chrysler LX platform.

The rear-wheel-drive sedan includes gasoline engine rated 268 bhp (200 kW) and a 74 bhp (55 kW) lithium ion battery rated 400 miles (640 km) (40 miles (64 km) in battery only mode), P245/45R20 front and P245/45R20 tires. The car has 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration of approximately 7 seconds, with top speed of over 120 mph (190 km/h).

The interior incorporates uConnect features controlled via a panoramic multimedia touch screen. It includes a "teen mode" which warns of erratic driving or going out of a specified range, and limits the maximum speed.

The vehicle was unveiled in 2009 North American International Auto Show.[1]

Design

The exterior design was led by Nick Malachowski. The interior was designed by Chrysler LLC's Advance Interior Design Studio, led by Ryan Patrick Joyce. The vehicle flooring was inspired by a Zen rock garden.
