The Chrysler Cirrus LXi was the only available trim for 1998 and 1999. The lower priced LX was dropped until 2000. This lone Cirrus underwent substantial revisions, including the addition of several new features and color options. Power features like windows, doors, and mirrors were included, along with tilt steering and passenger-sensitive airbags.
The Cirrus was only offered with front wheel drive and a four-speed automatic transmission. The Cirrus predated Chrysler's AutoStick manual shifter, any many drivers commented that a 5-speed would have added to the car's sporting feel. The transmission was mated with a 2.5 liter V-6 engine, which produced 168 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque.
Many frequent driver complaints were directed towards the sedan's performance. The engine did not provide enough power and the transmission hesitated at full throttle. The product was 10+ second 0-60 time. The Cirrus did combine 19/26 mpg fuel efficiency with abundant interior space. This engineering feat was achieved thanks the Chrysler's cab-forward layout.
