Vehicle Highlights
Summits are nearly identical to the Dodge/Plymouth Colt and the Mitsubishi Mirage, and all three were redesigned for 1993. A 2-door notchback body style replaced the prior hatchback, augmented by a 4-door notchback. Wheelbases grew by two inches, and the new 2-door was a foot longer than its predecessor. Head room and rear leg room shrunk slightly. DL and ES editions were marketed by Jeep-Eagle dealers. Two engines were available: a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder and an optional 113-horsepower, 1.8-liter four (standard in the top 4-door models). Five-speed manual shift was standard; 3- or 4-speed automatic either standard or optional, depending on model. Antilock brakes now were available as an option on upper (ES) 4-doors. All Summits were equipped with motorized front shoulder belts.
