Year to Year Changes
1996 Dodge Neon:
Neons saw a number of changes in their second full season. Base models got standard 14-inch wheels (replacing 13-inchers) and body-colored bumpers to replace the prior grey units. A lower-priced base coupe joined the lineup. Antilock braking now was optional on all Neons. The 150-horsepower dual-cam engine was included on base coupes with the optional Competition Package.
1997 Dodge Neon:
Changes were few for Neon's third year on the market.
1998 Dodge Neon:
For '98 Dodge dropped the base model, replacing it with the Highline. In the spring, Dodge introduced the sporty Neon R/T. It draws equipment from the Competition Package and adds racy graphics.
1999 Dodge Neon:
Dodge replaced the Neon with an all-new 2000 model of the same name in early 1999. However, they continued to sell some 4-door and 2-door models of the old design throughout '99. Changes to the old model were minimal and included a new Sport package for the 4-door.
