The 2002 Dodge Stratus, a mid-size sedan launched in 1995, marked a significant shift for Dodge, aiming to capture the family-oriented market with its spacious interior and comfortable ride. While sharing its platform with the Chrysler Cirrus and Plymouth Breeze, the Stratus distinguished itself with its sporty styling and a more powerful engine option.
