The front-drive, mid-size Premier sedan was introduced in 1988 and actually had displayed Renault logos. By 1990, the initial 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine was gone, replaced by a 3.0-liter V6. Base LX and mid-level ES models were offered, along with a sporty ES Limited. Premiers had a floor-mounted gearshift for the automatic transmission and a center console. Among other noteworthy refinements for 1990 were standard 4-wheel disc brakes, an upgraded touring suspension, a stainless steel exhaust system, and rear shoulder belts. Dodge began to market an equivalent Monaco sedan in 1990.
