The 200 is a small sedan that rides on the same underpinnings as its ill-fated predecessor but has a new skin, a revised interior and a reworked engine.

All metalwork from the A-pillar forward is new. The nose is neater and has an attractive grille with blades that mirror the design of the new Silver Wing emblem.

The biggest change is Chrysler's new Pentastar V6 - to be seen first in Australia in the Jeep Grand Cherokee - with 211kW and 353Nm.

Chrysler will retain its aging 2.4-litre four cylinder and four-speed automatic which, together, gets only a 6 per cent better fuel economy than the V6 and its six-speed auto.  The 2.4-litre four-speed auto 200 is unlikely to make it to Australia.

However, Chrysler says it plans to unveil an optional six-speed dual-clutch transmission for the four-cylinder.
