The Dodge Stratus, produced from 1995 to 2000, was a mid-size sedan that marked a significant departure from Dodge's traditional truck-focused image. It was designed to appeal to a more mainstream audience seeking a comfortable, reliable, and stylish car for everyday driving. The Stratus was built on the Chrysler LH platform, which shared its underpinnings with the Chrysler Concorde and the Eagle Vision. This platform was notable for its innovative front-wheel drive layout, independent suspension, and spacious cabin. The Stratus offered a range of powertrain options, including a 2.0L four-cylinder engine, a 2.5L V6 engine, and a 2.4L V6 engine. The 2.0L engine was well-suited for fuel efficiency, while the 2.5L and 2.4L engines provided adequate power for everyday driving and highway cruising. The 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus received a warm reception from critics and consumers alike. It was praised for its roomy interior, refined ride, and stylish design. The Stratus also earned a reputation for reliability and value. However, later model years faced some criticism for their somewhat dated design and lack of some key features that were becoming increasingly common in the mid-size sedan segment. Despite these minor shortcomings, the Stratus remained a popular choice for families and individuals looking for a practical and affordable sedan. The Stratus's success paved the way for other Chrysler products, contributing to the resurgence of the Chrysler brand in the 1990s. It was replaced in 2001 by the second-generation Stratus, which featured a more modern design and a wider range of options.
