The wild five-door wagon from Chrysler appears in four versions for 2005 with three powertrain choices. Models include the base PT Cruiser, Cruiser Touring, Limited and GT.

The first three pull from the base plant, a naturally-aspirated twin-cam 2.4-liter in-line-four set at 150-hp. For Limited, a turbo-charged plant pumped to 180-hp is optional with an automatic transaxle, larger wheels and tires, leather-clad cabin and chrome decoration. The GT pushes a turbo 2.4-liter four-in-line tuned for high output at 220-hp with a Getrag heavy-duty manual 5-speed and sport-tuned suspension settings.
