The Chrysler Cirrus and Stratus were a pair of compact cars produced by the American automaker Chrysler from 1995 to 2000, designed to replace the aging Dodge Shadow/Plymouth Sundance duo. While sharing a common platform and many components, the Cirrus and Stratus offered distinct styling and intended to cater to different buyer profiles. The Cirrus, with its sportier and more angular design, was aimed towards a younger, more performance-oriented crowd, while the Stratus, boasting a more traditional and conservative look, was targeted at a more mature and family-oriented audience. Both models were available in a range of configurations including sedans, coupes, and convertibles, and were offered with a variety of engine options ranging from economical four-cylinder units to more powerful V6 options.

The 1997 model year marked a mid-cycle refresh for the first generation Cirrus and Stratus. This update brought subtle styling tweaks, including revised bumpers, taillights, and grille configurations. Under the hood, the 1997 models continued to offer a choice of two engines: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 132 horsepower and a 2.5-liter V6 generating 163 horsepower. Transmission options included a four-speed automatic and a five-speed manual gearbox. The 1997 Cirrus and Stratus, despite their relatively short lifespan, were praised for their comfortable interiors, ample cargo space, and competitive fuel efficiency. However, they were also criticized for their somewhat unexciting driving experience and a perceived lack of quality compared to some of their competitors. Despite these shortcomings, the 1997 Cirrus and Stratus continued to be successful sellers, solidifying Chrysler's position in the compact car segment.
