The Dodge SX 2.0 was a compact car produced by the Chrysler Corporation from 2002 to 2005. It was marketed as a sporty and affordable option for younger drivers, aiming to compete with popular models like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. The SX 2.0 was based on the platform of the Mitsubishi Lancer, reflecting a previous partnership between the two companies. Power came from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 132 horsepower and 137 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission was available, directing power to the front wheels. The SX 2.0 featured a distinctive design, with sloping lines, a steeply raked windshield, and a sporty front grille. The interior offered a simple yet functional layout, with comfortable seats and basic amenities. However, the SX 2.0 was criticized for its lack of interior space, especially in the rear seats.
Despite its sporty aspirations, the Dodge SX 2.0 received mixed reviews. While some praised its handling and fuel economy, others criticized its lack of power and its rough ride. Overall, the SX 2.0 failed to make a significant impact on the market and was discontinued in 2005. While the SX 2.0 may not be a widely known model, it served as a reminder of Dodge's efforts to target a younger audience with affordable and sporty vehicles. However, facing stiff competition from established players in the compact car segment, the SX 2.0 ultimately fell short of its goals. Today, the SX 2.0 remains a niche model, its legacy overshadowed by more successful offerings from Dodge and its competitors.
