The Dodge Stratus, produced from 1995 to 2000, marked a significant shift for the American automaker in the mid-size sedan market. This front-wheel-drive vehicle, built upon the Chrysler JA platform, showcased a more modern and refined design compared to its predecessors. It arrived in three trim levels: base, ES, and R/T, offering a range of options catering to diverse driving preferences. The Stratus boasted a spacious interior with comfortable seating for five, a well-appointed dashboard, and various convenience features like power windows, locks, and mirrors. Powertrain options included a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, and a 2.5-liter V6 engine, each paired with a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission, depending on the chosen trim. The 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus aimed to provide a compelling blend of affordability, practicality, and comfortable driving experience. It offered a respectable level of performance, particularly with the available V6 engine, and its maneuverability made it suitable for both city driving and highway commutes. While the Stratus faced competition from other popular mid-size sedans during its production run, it managed to carve out a niche for itself, attracting buyers who valued its combination of features, reliability, and overall value proposition. The Stratus's success paved the way for the introduction of its successor, the second-generation Stratus, which continued to evolve and refine the model's identity in the competitive mid-size sedan market.
