The 2004 Dodge Stratus, a mid-size sedan, was the final iteration of Chrysler's second-generation Stratus line, built upon the Chrysler LH platform and sharing its underpinnings with the Chrysler Sebring. While not as widely recognized as some of its contemporaries, the Stratus offered a practical and affordable option for families and commuters alike, boasting a spacious interior, a comfortable ride, and a decent level of standard features. The 2004 model year saw a minor facelift, with updated styling cues like a new grille and taillamps, while retaining the distinctive, somewhat boxy, appearance of the previous years. Under the hood, the 2004 Stratus offered a variety of engine options, catering to diverse needs and preferences. The base engine was a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, delivering adequate power for everyday driving. For those seeking a more spirited experience, there was the option of a 2.7-liter V6, providing a more substantial power punch. The Stratus was available in three trim levels: SE, SXT, and R/T. The SE served as the entry-level trim, while the SXT provided a more luxurious experience with additional features like leather seats and a sunroof. The top-of-the-line R/T offered a sportier appearance and performance enhancements, notably a larger 3.5-liter V6 engine. The 2004 Dodge Stratus, despite its relatively short production run, found its niche amongst budget-conscious car buyers and continues to hold its own in the used car market, especially among those seeking a reliable and practical sedan.
