This nameplate debuted for the 1993 model year as part of Chrysler’s LH sedan family, arriving with the brand’s cab-forward design philosophy and a focus on spacious packaging, clean aero styling, and a more upscale market position than many mainstream midsize sedans of the time. It was part of a broader early-1990s engineering and design reset that also produced related LH-era siblings, and it helped establish the look and proportions that became associated with Chrysler’s large front-wheel-drive sedans during that decade. A major redesign arrived for 1998, bringing a more sculpted body, revised proportions, and updated powertrains while keeping the emphasis on roominess and long-distance comfort. Over the years, the car evolved from a five-passenger family sedan into a more feature-rich full-size offering, with higher trims and later updates adding more luxury content and a stronger upscale identity. In 2002, the final-era redesign incorporated styling cues previously associated with other large Chrysler sedans and marked the model’s last significant refresh. Production ended after the 2004 model year, when it was replaced by the rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300, closing the book on one of the signature LH-era sedans.
