Vehicle Highlights
Built on the same subcompact platform as its twin, the Dodge Shadow, this front drive first arrived in 1987 as a sporty 4-door hatchback, followed shortly by a 2-door hatchback. The base engine for the Sundance was a 93-horsepower, 2.2-liter 4 cylinder. By 1988, a new 100-horsepower, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine became optional. Also optional was a 150-horsepower, turbocharged version of the larger 4-cylinder. Standard transmission on all three was a 5-speed manual. Optional for the three engines was a 3-speed automatic. New for 1990 was a standard driver-side airbag.
