Pros & Cons

    • Large and intuitive screen interface.
    • Accurate voice recognition.
    • LCD instrument panel controls are too complex.
    • Only one embedded app.

The Uconnect 8.4AN infotainment system in the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 isn't all that new, itself. The system, with its 8.4-inch touch screen, was first introduced in 2011 and at the time was the largest touch screen on the market, pre-Tesla Model S and its massive 17-inch in-dash display. But even though it's a bit long in the tooth by tech standards (though updated by a recent software refresh), the Uconnect 8.4AN system in the 2015 Chrysler 200C that we tested (and that comes as part of the $1,395 Navigation and Sound Group option) is still one of the best available and our Editors' Choice, thanks to its large screen, intuitive interface, and useful features.

Overview
The Uconnect 8.4AN infotainment system makes good use of its ample screen by keeping the display uncluttered. Arrayed along the bottom are small icons for the seven main functions: Radio, Menu, Controls, Climate, Navigation, Phone, and Apps, while at the top are even smaller tiles for inside and outside temperature, audio and navigation info, and time.
