Three models mark the full-size Dodge sedan in 2004 -- entry-issue SE, sport-tuned SXT and deluxe ES. Each draws from a different powerplant.
Intrepid SE contains the base engine, a 2.7-liter V6 out of an aluminum block with multi-valve technology inside and twin cams on top. Horsepower runs to 200 points.
Intrepid ES also uses the 2.7-liter V6 as standard equipment, but offers as an option a 3.5-liter single-cam V6 that generates 232 hp and operates on regular-grade fuel.
SXT increases the power quotient by packing aboard a high-output 3.5-liter V6 rated this year at 250 hp, along with the Dodge AutoStick dual-mode automatic shifter. Four-wheel disc brakes and frontal air bags go into all versions, with side-impact air bags and a traction control system (TCS) available.
