Year to Year Changes
1996 Dodge Stratus:
Few changes appeared this year. A power sunroof became available later in the year, but didn't last long. Also later in the season, a V6 Stratus could be equipped with Chrysler's Autostick transmission, permitting shifting up or down through the gears by tilting the shift lever to the left or right.
1997 Dodge Stratus:
Stratus entered its third season with little change, apart from a new floor console between the front seats.
1998 Dodge Stratus:
In a cost-cutting move, antilock brakes were made optional on both models. Sound insulation was beefed up, and a sunroof was again available on all models.
1999 Dodge Stratus:
Stratus got a revised suspension designed to increase ride comfort and standard 4-wheel antilock brakes. Also available were new alloy wheels and a power driver seat.
2000 Dodge Stratus:
A new base model called SE joined the Stratus lineup. With automatic transmission, the SE sedan included the previously optional 150-horsepower 4-cylinder engine. Manual-shift models got a 132-horsepower engine instead. Newly optional was an emergency escape release inside the trunk.
