Chrysler New Yorker (1994–1996)

The 13th and final generation of the Chrysler New Yorker (1994–1996) was a dramatic departure from the traditional boxy sedans of the past, ushering in Chrysler’s bold “cab-forward” design language. The Chrysler New Yorker was a popular full-size sedan that was known for its comfort, luxury, and performance. It was part of Chrysler’s LH cab-forward platform, which also included the LHS. The Cab-forward design featured Long windshield, short overhangs, and spacious interior. New Yorker’s modern luxury and sleek design replaced traditional upright styling.
