Vehicle Highlights
Chrysler Corporation's subcompact front-drive Neon was introduced as a very early 1995 model available in virtually identical form through both Dodge and Plymouth dealers. First offered only as a 4-door sedan, Neon gained a 2-door coupe running mate later in that year. While sedans have been sold in base, Highline, and Sport price levels, until 1996 the coupe came only in Highline and Sport. Early Neons all carried a 132-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard; 3-speed automatic optional. Dual airbags were standard, while antilock brakes were standard on Sport models and optional on others.
