The Dodge Stratus Convertible, produced from 1995 to 2000, marked a unique addition to the Dodge lineup, blending the practicality of the Stratus sedan with the open-air freedom of a convertible. This two-door model was built on the Chrysler JA platform, sharing its underpinnings with the Chrysler Sebring Convertible. Aimed at attracting a younger, more stylish demographic, the Stratus Convertible offered a combination of sporty driving dynamics and a luxurious, well-appointed interior. Available with a range of engine options, including a powerful 2.5L V6, the Stratus Convertible provided ample power for spirited driving. Its distinctive design featured a soft-top roof that could be easily lowered for top-down cruising, offering a thrilling connection with the open road. The Stratus Convertible was also notable for its generous cargo space, a surprising feature for a convertible, allowing for weekend adventures with luggage and other essentials. While the Stratus Convertible was a popular choice for its stylish appeal and convertible experience, it also faced some drawbacks. Its soft-top roof, though convenient, was known for its susceptibility to leaks and noise intrusion, particularly at higher speeds.

Despite these shortcomings, the Dodge Stratus Convertible remained a compelling option for those seeking a stylish and affordable convertible experience. Its blend of performance, practicality, and distinctive design allowed it to carve a niche in the market, attracting drivers seeking a blend of everyday usability and open-air enjoyment. Today, the Stratus Convertible is often considered a classic, with enthusiasts appreciating its unique features and its place in Dodge's automotive history.
