The Dodge Stratus, produced from 1995 to 2000, was a mid-size sedan that marked a significant shift for Dodge, moving away from its traditional muscle car image towards a more refined and family-oriented approach. It was built on the Chrysler LH platform, which was also shared with the Chrysler Concorde and the Eagle Vision, and was notable for its contemporary styling and advanced features. The Stratus offered a choice of two four-cylinder engines: a 2.0-liter unit producing 132 hp and a more powerful 2.4-liter engine generating 168 hp. A 2.5-liter V6 engine with 163 hp was also available for those seeking more power. All engines were paired with either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. The Stratus boasted a spacious interior with comfortable seating for five passengers, and it came equipped with standard features like power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning. Higher trims included leather upholstery, sunroof, and a premium sound system.

Despite its focus on comfort and refinement, the Dodge Stratus also offered a sporty variant known as the "R/T" (Road/Track). The Stratus R/T featured the 2.5-liter V6 engine but paired it with a sport-tuned suspension, larger wheels, and a more aggressive exterior design, giving it a more dynamic driving experience. While the Stratus didn't achieve the same level of popularity as some of its competitors, it played a crucial role in establishing Dodge as a credible player in the mid-size sedan segment. Its comfortable ride, spacious interior, and modern styling made it a viable option for families and commuters alike. Today, the Dodge Stratus remains a reasonably priced and reliable classic for those seeking a comfortable and practical vehicle with a touch of American muscle.
