Vehicle Highlights
On sale in summer 1994, the redesigned Talon sports coupe offered fresh styling, more power, and a new model lineup. Compared to first-generation Talons and their mates, this model was 1.6 inches longer in wheelbase and 1.6 inches wider, though slightly shorter. New features included standard dual airbags and four-wheel disc brakes. Antilock brakes were optional on all models. The base ESi and mid-level TSi had front-wheel drive, while the TSi AWD had permanently engaged all-wheel drive. A new Chrysler 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with dual camshafts and 140 horsepower was standard on the ESi. Both TSi models held a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that produced 210 horsepower (205 with automatic). Talons seat four, with bucket seats up front and a rear bench. A folding rear seatback was standard on TSi models, optional on ESi.
