Dodge Stratus 2nd Gen

2000 – 2007

The Dodge Stratus, launched in December 1994, was a mid-size car under Dodge, based on the Chrysler JA platform. Alongside the Plymouth Breeze and Chrysler Cirrus, it earned a spot on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list in 1996 and 1997. Initially, the Stratus received positive reviews for its features and design, but over time, its ratings declined. In 2001, an updated version of the Stratus was released, coinciding with the renaming of the Cirrus to Chrysler Sebring. The updated model included a coupé variant to broaden the range and appeal to different types of buyers. Production of the Stratus came to an end in early 2006 at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, having built a total of 1,308,123 units of Stratus and Sebrings combined since 2000. Key points: 1.
