The Dodge SX 2.0, produced in 1997, was a compact car designed and manufactured by Chrysler Corporation under its Dodge brand. It was marketed as a sporty and affordable option within the compact car segment, appealing to younger buyers and those seeking a stylish and agile driving experience. The SX 2.0 was based on the Chrysler Neon platform, sharing its underpinnings and powertrain with its sibling model. It was distinguished by its unique styling cues, such as a more aggressive front fascia with a prominent grille, side skirts, and a rear spoiler, giving it a sportier appearance compared to the standard Neon. Under the hood, the SX 2.0 was powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 132 horsepower. This engine was mated to a five-speed manual transmission, offering a spirited driving experience, while a four-speed automatic transmission option was also available. The SX 2.0 was equipped with standard features such as power steering, disc brakes, and air conditioning. While the SX 2.0 wasn't known for its performance prowess, it offered a comfortable and well-rounded driving experience. Its compact size and nimble handling made it a capable city car, while its fuel efficiency made it an economical option for daily driving. However, the SX 2.0 faced competition from other popular compact cars of the era, such as the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, which offered more refined and reliable alternatives. Despite its strengths, the Dodge SX 2.0 was discontinued in 1999, with its successor, the Dodge Neon SRT-4, taking its place in the Dodge lineup.
