The Chrysler Concorde, Dodge Intrepid, and Eagle Vision were a trio of mid-size sedans that were introduced in 1992 as part of Chrysler's "cab-forward" design revolution. They were built on the LH platform, which emphasized a spacious interior with a low, aerodynamic profile. The Concorde, Intrepid, and Vision were highly successful for Chrysler, earning praise for their handling, performance, and overall ride quality. The 1997 model year marked a significant evolution for the trio, with a major exterior and interior refresh, as well as the introduction of a new 3.2L V6 engine. The 1997 Intrepid was also the first model year to come standard with airbags for all three seating positions in the front. The 1997 Concorde, Intrepid, and Vision were all offered with a variety of engine options, including a 2.7L V6, a 3.2L V6, and a 3.5L V6. The 3.2L V6 was the most powerful engine available, producing 205 hp and 205 lb-ft of torque. Transmission options included a four-speed automatic and a five-speed manual. The 1997 model year also saw the introduction of the "Intrepid R/T," which was a performance-oriented version of the Intrepid that featured a more powerful engine, sportier suspension, and unique styling cues. The 1997 Concorde, Intrepid, and Vision were all praised for their comfortable interiors, roomy cabins, and responsive handling. They were also known for their reliability and durability. The 1997 model year ushered in a new era of sophistication and performance for these popular sedans, solidifying their position as key players in the mid-size car market.
