Departing from the boxy, utilitarian aesthetic of its predecessors, the Spirit adopted a more modern and aerodynamic profile. It was offered in various trim levels, including the base Spirit, the sportier ES, and the luxurious R/T. Under the hood, the 1989 Spirit was powered by a range of four-cylinder engines, starting with the 2.2-liter fuel-injected unit and culminating in the more potent 2.5-liter turbocharged engine found in the R/T model.
