Year to Year Changes
2002 Dodge Stratus:
Little changed for either the Stratus coupe or sedan in 2002, but a sporty new R/T sedan joined the R/T coupe during the model year. The R/T could get Chrysler's AutoStick automatic transmission, with a shift gate for manually selected gear changes.
2003 Dodge Stratus:
Coupes earned revised styling this year, for both front and rear. Interior changes included a new dashboard and door panels, and front side airbags were available in coupes for the first time. For 2003, the ES sedan's alloy wheels switched to a chrome finish. Coupes came in SXT and sporty R/T trim levels, while sedans were offered in SE, SXT, S and R/T trim.
2004 Dodge Stratus:
Stratus saw no major changes for 2005. Sedans got revised front styling that mimicked the changes to the coupes in 2003.
2005 Dodge Stratus:
No changes were made this year. Note that coupe production is scheduled to end during the 2005 model year.
2006 Dodge Stratus:
Dodge's midsize car drops its coupe body style for 2006.
