2015 Chrysler 200 - AutomotiveSTYLE

The all new 2015 Chrysler 200 recently made its debut and I had the opportunity to drive it and experience it up close and personal. Chrysler played host in Louisville, Kentucky and since it was my first trip there, I was all about driving around and checking out the sights! What better car to do it in than this?

Clean lines and expressive surfaces highlight the coupe-like appearance of the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 exterior. Inspired by nature and classic American design, the 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan with its athletic yet soulful presence, has a strong, sculptural exterior that drivers will want to touch and feel. It’s a timeless design based on simple elegance. It screams elegance, in a masculine way reminiscent of this look from the Haider Ackermann Spring 2014 collection.

The front of the new 200 debuts the new “face of Chrysler” with a unified look that integrates the grille and headlamps for the first time with a Mobius strip-inspired design that’s enhanced by a dynamic grille texture, providing a unique 3-D effect.

It certainly stands out in a crowd and makes an impact! In fact, the color and intricate design reminded me of these perfectly contoured models' faces from the Chanel 2014 Resort runway show.

Without a doubt, this car looks just as good coming at you as it does passing you by.

And I can't forget the shoes! Available with 17, 18 and 19" wheels, the Chrysler 200 allows you to "throw on your best shoes and step up your game."

Meanwhile, what's a great Spring 2014 Peter Som shoe in your arsenal without a fabulous new fringe bag by Gucci?

I really do see STYLE in everything and when I saw the interior options for this car, I loved them...however, when I heard the inspiration for the designs and colors, I fell in love! The all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 interior is a sophisticated blend of hand-sculpted fluid shapes, high-quality materials, innovative material choices, precision craftsmanship, state-of-the-art technology and thoughtful, clever features.

Now see for yourself! The 2015 Chrysler 200 interior was designed using four key principles:

• Make an emotional design impact

• Use high-quality materials

• Include state-of-the-art technology

• Develop clever storage features that use the interior space wisely

Based on three very different cities, the Chrysler 200 interior colors were inspired by:

First, Sausalito, California was the muse for the two-tone Linen and Black interior. The spirit of Sausalito inspired Chrysler designers with its different mindset: it’s a city that doesn’t act like a city. The city projects a “oneness” with its environment, a peaceful Zen that is represented by the linen and black interior. 

Second, Fifth Avenue in New York City was the inspiration for the black interiors. The City of New York represents a unique attitude – the city that never sleeps. It’s high fashion with a rock and roll edge. Edgy, yet classy. 

And last but certainly not least...the tenacious, never-say-die spirit of the City of Detroit was the inspiration for the S model’s exclusive Black and Ambassador Blue interior. The interior of the S model embodies the juxtaposition of the City of Detroit – the tenaciousness and never-give-up attitude that created and nurtured world-renowned inventors and craftsmen, a music scene that has inspired generations of artists, and the hard-working people that put the world on wheels with the gritty landscape in parts of the city today. 

I loved driving this car and with horsepower up to 295, 35MPG and for a starting price of $21,700, you will too!
