ACCELERATION
| LX, 2.7 V6 | LXi, 3.2 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 5 | 5.6 |
LXi's 3.2 liter has good low-speed and passing power. LX's 2.7 is adequate, but feels overworked on highway. Neither is as strong as General Motors' 3.8-liter.
FUEL ECONOMY
| LX, 2.7 V6 | LXi, 3.2 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 5 | 4.8 |
LX's fuel economy is impressive for a large car: averaged 26.2 mpg in our tests, mostly on highways. The LXi averages about 21 mpg.
RIDE QUALITY
| LX, 2.7 V6 | LXi, 3.2 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 7 | 6.1 |
Soaks up rough roads well. Stable on highway.
STEERING/HANDLING/BRAKING
| LX, 2.7 V6 | LXi, 3.2 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | 5 |
Steers and corners with responsive confidence, though not as crisp as sportier Intrepid and 300M. Brakes are weaker than some rivals, and pedal feel is mushy.
QUIETNESS
| LX, 2.7 V6 | LXi, 3.2 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5 | 6 |
Quiet as most similarly priced competitors.
CONTROLS
| LX, 2.7 V6 | LXi, 3.2 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | 5.3 |
Clear gauges. Large, well-marked climate and audio controls. Interior materials are of good quality, although roof pillars have hard plastic trim and door panels look Spartan. Narrow rear window restricts visibility.
ROOM/COMFORT/DRIVER SEATING (FRONT)
| LX, 2.7 V6 | LXi, 3.2 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 7 | 7 |
Generous height and width, but bench's inboard position is child-sized. Front passenger seat lacks leg room for 6-footers to stretch.
ROOM/COMFORT (REAR)
| LX, 2.7 V6 | LXi, 3.2 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 7 | 5.9 |
One of few cars wide enough to carry three adults comfortably. Slightly more head room than in Intrepid. Doorways are big, but their shape hampers entry.
CARGO ROOM
| LX, 2.7 V6 | LXi, 3.2 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | 5.8 |
Amply sized trunk. Opening is wider than Intrepid's, but liftover is high. Rear seat pass-through is handy.
VALUE WITHIN CLASS
| LX, 2.7 V6 | LXi, 3.2 V6 | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 9 | 9 | 7 |
Acceleration and reliability could be better. But distinctive styling, roomy interior, and fine handling make this an impressive value nonetheless.
Total Score
