The Chrysler Cirrus for 1995 so closely resembles the futuristic concept car of the same name from a few years earlier that it becomes clear that Chrysler had found a way to create cars in a way that no one else could. Beneath the new designs are new engines, new transmissions and complete new architectures.
The Chrysler Cirrus was a mid-size sedan produced from 1995 to 2000, designed to be a stylish and practical alternative to conservative family cars of the time. It was part of Chrysler’s “Cloud Car” trio, alongside the Dodge Stratus and Plymouth Breeze, all sharing a similar platform and mechanicals but with brand-specific trims and positioning.
Discontinued after the 2000 model year.
