Stratus as a four-door sedan stretches long and wide over a taut package with fluid lines patterned after the coupe, but it shows revised front-end styling with the 2004 editions plus fresh appointments in the five-seat cabin.
A total of four trims continue with powertrain choices of a thrifty four-cylinder or spirited V6. Stratus SE, the base edition, has a four-cylinder engine tied to a four-speed automatic transaxle. The 2.4-liter plant with dual overhead cams musters 150 hp.
Stratus SXT, also using the four-cylinder plant, rolls on 16-inch painted aluminum wheels with standard equipment aboard like power door locks and power windows, a premium audio package with CD deck and remote keyless entry.
Stratus ES, the luxury version, carries a 2.7-liter dual-cam V6 scored to 200 hp. The R/T edition denotes a tilt toward performance in a sport-tuned version with firmer suspension. It gets the V6 also found in Stratus ES but comes with larger 17-inch aluminum wheels and tires plus a monochromatic grille.
