The 2004 Chrysler Neon, built on the versatile PL platform, was a compact car that offered a blend of affordability, practicality, and surprisingly sporty handling. It represented the second generation of the Neon, which debuted in 1994 and quickly became popular for its sharp styling and value proposition. The 2004 model year saw a mid-cycle refresh, bringing updated styling with a more modern, aerodynamic front end and interior refinements including new seat fabrics and a revised dashboard. Under the hood, the Neon offered a choice of two engines: a 1.6-liter four-cylinder and a more powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder, both mated to a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The Neon also offered a range of trim levels, from the base SE to the more luxurious SXT, catering to a wide variety of buyer preferences.

While the 2004 Neon was praised for its handling and fuel efficiency, it also faced criticisms for its cramped interior space, particularly in the rear, and an overall lack of refinement compared to its competition. Despite these shortcomings, the Neon remained a popular choice for budget-minded consumers seeking a reliable and affordable compact car. The PL platform, which underpinned the Neon, also served as the basis for other Chrysler and Dodge models, including the Dodge Colt, Plymouth Neon, and the PT Cruiser. Though production of the Neon ended in 2005, it left a lasting legacy as a budget-friendly and practical option for American car buyers in the 1990s and early 2000s.
