1999-2002 Chrysler Concorde Specifications
Changes for 1999 include premium carpeting, a new headliner and new interior fabrics and leathers. A revised leather seating surface will be standard on the LXi, while a new fabric will be offered later in the model year on the LX. A new stitched boot design for the shift lever (late availability) also provides a richer look to the overall interior. New, more robust sway bar links will be phased into production mid-model year, as will tubular rear trailing arms. Both will provide an added measure of road isolation without affecting driving performance. On the exterior, 16-inch Medallion alloy wheels are added as standard equipment on the Concorde LXi. For enhanced security, Chrysler's exclusive Sentry KeyTM system is offered. Light Cypress Green is added to the color palette.
Aerodynamically, full-stamped doors and optimizing the shapes of the fascia, mirrors and rocker panel areas gives a coefficient of drag (CD) of only .288.
The Intrepid and Concorde were classed as the EPA as large cars, based on interior space; and were assembled in Bramalea (Ontario).
