Year to Year Changes
1996 Dodge Stratus:
Changes were few for '96. The ES coupe wore new seat fabrics, and the V6 engine gained eight horsepower this year.
1997 Dodge Stratus:
New front and rear fascias gave the '97 Avenger a revised look, but little else was new this year. Fog lamps were installed on the ES coupe.
1998 Dodge Stratus:
A new Sport package was available on base models with the V6. It added a body-color rear spoiler and 16-inch wheels. Base models also got a rear sway bar.
1999 Dodge Stratus:
Dodge shuffled some options around and, in midyear, deleted the 4-cylinder engine. Otherwise, Avenger was a virtual rerun.
2000 Dodge Stratus:
Avengers gained a number of standard features that had previously been optional, including power windows and locks. Base models added cruise control, 4-wheel disc brakes, and 16-inch wheels (in place of 14s). ES coupes now came with standard leather upholstery and keyless remote entry, as well as a power driver's seat. Chrysler planned to drop the Avenger name after the 2000 model year, replacing it with a new Stratus coupe.
