The Stratus was available in various trim levels, ranging from the base SE to the more luxurious ES and the sporty R/T with its larger engine and sportier suspension. Under the hood, the Stratus was offered with a range of four-cylinder engines, including a fuel-efficient 2.0L and a more powerful 2.4L.
