DETROIT — Chrysler is offering a glimpse of what an electric-powered sedan would look like with a new concept car.

The automaker unveiled the Chrysler 200C EV Concept on Sunday at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The four-door, rear-wheel drive sedan also could be made as a hybrid or with a six-cylinder engine.

“It represents an inspired and soulful look at what a Chrysler sedan should be,” Chrysler LLC Vice Chairman Jim Press says.

The car’s interior is free of switches or levers, with functions managed via a panoramic touch screen and other interactive components.

Chrysler said Sunday that it’s also adding the Jeep Patriot small SUV to its stable of proposed electric vehicles. The company also has its electric prototype Dodge sports car, four-door Jeep Wrangler and Chrysler minivan on display.
