Year to Year Changes
1996 Plymouth Neon:
Base models now rode 14-inch tires (formerly 13-inch), and body-colored bumpers replaced the prior gray bumpers. A less-expensive base-model coupe joined the lineup, making each body style available in three levels: base, Highline, and Sport. Initially standard on Sport models, antilock brakes and a rear spoiler dropped to the option list on all Neons. The 150-horsepower engine was available on base coupes equipped with a Competition Group, which included 4-wheel disc brakes, aluminum wheels, quicker-ratio power steering, a stiffer suspension, heavy-duty radiator, and a tachometer.
1997 Plymouth Neon:
Neon Sport models disappeared after 1996, but a new Expresso package included fog lights, a rear spoiler, 14-inch wheel covers, and special body graphics.
1998 Plymouth Neon:
The Base model was dropped for '98, leaving only Highline and Competition trim levels.
1999 Plymouth Neon:
An all-new Neon debuted in early 1999, but some 4-door and 2-door models of the old design remained on sale throughout '99. DaimlerChrysler expected to drop the Plymouth-badged Neons after the 2001 model year, as part of the phaseout of the Plymouth brand.
