The Dodge Conquest was a sporty compact coupe produced by the Chrysler Corporation from 1985 to 1989. It was essentially a rebadged version of the Mitsubishi Starion, a Japanese sports car that was known for its sleek design and powerful turbocharged engine. The Conquest was offered in two trim levels: the base Conquest and the more luxurious Conquest TSi. Both models were powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, but the TSi featured a more powerful version of this engine. The Dodge Conquest was a popular choice for young drivers who wanted a sporty and affordable car.
The Conquest featured a distinctive, aerodynamic design that was influenced by the Mitsubishi Starion. It had a sloping hood, a wide grille, and a fastback roofline. The interior of the Conquest was also well-appointed, with comfortable seats and a sporty dashboard. The Conquest was a good performer, with its turbocharged engine providing adequate power for spirited driving. It was also relatively fuel-efficient for a sports car. However, the Conquest was not without its drawbacks. One issue was that the turbocharged engine was prone to overheating. Another issue was that the car's suspension was relatively stiff, which made for a bumpy ride on rough roads. Overall, the Dodge Conquest was a good value for the money, offering a sporty driving experience at a relatively affordable price. However, it was not without its flaws. Despite its shortcomings, the Dodge Conquest remains a popular car among enthusiasts who appreciate its unique style and performance potential.
