Key for the 2013 model year, the Chrysler 200 Convertible sports an upgraded suspension which results in a responsive, lively driving experience. For better balance and more controlled roll, the front stabilizer bar was increased from 25 mm to 27 mm, a rebound spring was added to the front struts and the damping rates have been revised. In addition, the rate for the front springs was increased from 180 pounds per inch to 201 pounds per inch.

At the rear of the Chrysler 200 Convertible a new rear jounce bumper, revised shock damping (coupled with the change in 2012 of a shock body that is 10 mm longer) and rear spring rates that were increased from 220 pounds per inch to 270 pounds per inch all contribute to more controlled body roll and a smoother, more connected drive.  Last but not least, tuning to the springs, dampers and sway bar was revised to provide a better ride and enhanced motion body control. Drivers of the 2013 Chrysler 200 Convertible will feel connected to the road and enjoy the open air experience with a responsive, comfortable ride.
