1993-1996 Eagle Summit Review
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.
Year to Year Changes
1994 Eagle Summit: A driver-side airbag went into 1994 models, but front passengers retained a motorized seatbelt. The 1.8-liter engine was now standard in both the LX and ES sedan, and newly optional in the ES 2-door. Power steering became standard on all 4-door sedans, but it was part of an option package for the ES 2-door.
1995 Eagle Summit: A passenger-side airbag joined in 1995, with a manual 3-point seatbelt. Base DL 2-doors came only with the 1.5-liter engine and 5-speed manual shift. The ESi (formerly ES) 2-door offered an optional 3-speed automatic transmission with its 1.5-liter engine. The available 113-horsepower, 1.8-liter four could have either 5-speed manual shift or 4-speed automatic.
1996 Eagle Summit: Little change was evident, except for new colors and interior fabrics.
