Neon SE uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with manual or optional automatic transaxle, 14-inch wheel covers and an audio kit with cassette deck and four speakers.

The SXT adds power to drive the mirrors and front windows, air conditioning, a CD player and six speakers, remote keyless entry and 15-inch aluminum wheels clad with touring tires. Options for SXT include a sport appearance group with tail spoiler, special aluminum wheels, foglamps and a body-colored instrument panel, or stand-alone items like chrome wheels, a sunroof, six-disc CD changer and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.

The Neon R/T sport trim adds a high-output 2.0-liter Magnum engine, five-speed manual shifter and twin exhaust piles, plus 16-inch aluminum wheels, a tail spoiler and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. Latest paint chip choice for Neon is Midnight Blue.
