It’s been teased for a while and even been spotted while out for test-drives, but it is finally here.  The long awaited, and much anticipated, 2015 Chrysler 200 is making it debut.

Chrysler made the announcement at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.  And this is one new model that many auto critics have been wanting for a long time.  While the 200 had a following with fans, it has been in need of a new update to get people really talking about it again.

The 200 name is about the only thing this new model of the 200 has in common with its predecessors.  Chrysler opted to do a rebuild of the vehicle rather than just update a few features.  From the inside and out, the 2015 Chrysler 200 is a whole new beast than the previous years.

All of the latest and greatest features of Chrysler are included in the new 200 such as nine-speed transmission and even an option all-wheel drive.  The popular and award-winning Uconnect system is also included with a 8.4-inch touchscreen.

For the engine, the 200 comes with two options.  One is the 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir II four-cylinder engine with 184-horsepower.  The other is the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine with 295-horsepower.

The 2015 Chrysler 200 is set to be available in late spring and the base price starts at $22,695.  For more information on how to get one when it goes on sale, contact us at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge.  Be sure to like us on Facebook as well as follow us on Twitter to see our monthly offers on parts and new and pre-owned vehicles.

Chrysler 300S Mopar-Modified SEMA Show Vehicle

When Chrysler shows up to SEMA, it brings with it their talent and skill at impressing the crowd. At this year’s show, they really turned up the heat providing something for fans of every brand to drool over for the next few months.

Through the brilliant engineers at Mopar, the parts and service arm of Chrysler, they have brought new forms to their most popular vehicles. The most notable of which is garnering the most praise is Chrysler bringing back the ‘Scat Performance” pack for the Dodge Challenger.

Along with this new performance pack is the Shaker hood for the Challenger as well. The reason for that name? The air intake shakes with the movement of the engine.

The Scat performance package will be available for the Charger, Dart, and Challenger.

Plenty of other spruced up vehicles are being offered, from SRT to Jeep, and we’re covering all of them on the main blog on Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge, so be sure to check it out for more future coverage.

Chrysler Celebrates 10th Anniversary of “8 Mile”

Much has been said about the incredible job the marketing team with Chrysler has been doing. “Half-Time in America” was a hit with fans when it aired during the Superbowl. Before that, “Imported from Detroit” featuring Eminem in it was capturing the attention of buyers and critics alike. Chrysler wants to keep that momentum going, and to do so will be releasing a new special edition vehicle in honor of the 10th anniversary of Eminem’s popular movie, 8 Mile.

According to NBC news, Chrysler will be putting out a special edition of the Chrysler 200 sedan. That’s not all, however, as the company has another release planned. To tie-in with the new Broadway show, Motown: The Musical, there will be a Chrysler 300 based around the show. The tie-in campaigns that these vehicles are part of stem from comments Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne made that emphasized the auto-maker’s roots in Detroit. Olivier Francois, Chrysler’s global marketing chief, went even further by saying, “We needed to give Detroit credit for what it really does stand for”

No word yet on to what degree Eminem himself will be involved with the promotion of the sedan. Chrysler is currently getting ready to show off even more of their premium vehicles during the SEMA show, scheduled to happen over the Halloween week. Keep your eyes and ears peeled to the future to see what develops out of that auto-show.
