Chrysler 200 May Get a Diesel Engine
The diesel engine came into the market because of the demand from consumers. They wanted a diesel engine on a Ram truck and when Ram finally delivered, they flocked to it. It has been a huge win for the company, so it would stand to reason they’d start seeing if a diesel engine was possible elsewhere. With the 2015 Chrysler 200 being the newest hit for the company, maybe it is time to explore the diesel option for a sedan.
Auto Evolution is reporting that Chrysler has a 2.2-liter diesel engine for the new sedan. The codename attached to the project is “DeTomaso” a nod to the Italian automaker.
This discovery was uncovered by Allpar.com doing some digging around in the back end of DealerConnect. It then lead Autonews on a “ghost hunt” as they referred to it. While the engine was indeed showing up still on DealerConnect, Chrysler was unwilling to confirm they had found a smoking gun. However, a colleague confirmed that Alfa Romeo was indeed working on a 2.2-liter turbodiesel that would be fit for a 200 should the company be nice and bring it state-side.
It sounds like an engine does exist, one that would work but it begs the question of should the company make a diesel option for the Chrysler 200? I don’t see a good reason not to. The diesel engines for the 1500 and Jeeps have been popular. It seems that drivers really like the idea of having that option. I don’t know if diesel users would spring for a sedan, but it might not hurt to try it out.

Chrysler Has a “Stunning” November
November was a good month for Chrysler. That’s been the headline for a while now. Every month is a look at just how excellent Chrysler did. Ever since the company has come back from the brink of bankruptcy, they’ve been making tremendous gains. This last November is no different. What is most interesting, however, about their sales in November is how it compares to the rest of the industry.
Larry P. Vellequette opens his piece on Autonews with one simple word to describe Chrysler’s November and that is “Stunning.” Chrysler had a 20-percent increase in sales last month. That’s not all, there’s even more stunning numbers.
Last month, 57,466 new vehicles were sold in the US. Of that number, 50.2 percent were sold at a Chrysler dealership.
Chrysler had 11 of their vehicles across the span of their line-ups set record sales.
Chrysler clearly has a fire behind it at the moment. They’ve been pushing the advantage and with new vehicles like the 2015 Chrysler 200 and Jeep Cherokee on the market the automaker is making tremendous gains. Here’s hoping they can keep it up.
