1993 Chrysler Concorde 3.5L V6 4AT FWD (214 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Part of the LH series from Chrysler, the Concorde shared its platform with the Chrysler LHX and New Yorker, albeit it was more closely connected with the Eagle Vision from the styling point of view.

Strangely, this Chrysler had a connection with a Lamborghini concept car, the Portofino, which was unveiled at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show at a time when the American automaker owned the Italian brand. But that four-door sports car never makes it to production lines. Instead, Chrysler used the idea and the shapes drawn by Kevin Verduyn to create the Concorde.

With its sharp nose sporting a waterfall grille with six vertical slats, the Concorde distinguished itself on the market as a sporty-looking sedan. Its raked, wide windshield started the greenhouse, while the rear windscreen was sloped towards the short, raised deck. At the back, the taillights looked like they were extended on the entire rear panel, although these were only on the car’s corner. The area between them was a light bar. The Concorde shared most of its body panels with the Eagle Vision, with both being built on the same assembly line. The LH lineup provided the longest wheelbase in its segment.

The interior boasted a luxurious, leather-clad cabin with bucket seats. In 1994, Chrysler added a split bench on the options list with a column shifter. Its dashboard was adorned with wood veneers extended from the door cards. In the rear, there was room enough for three passengers thanks to the car’s long wheelbase. Strangely, the American automaker offered standard airbags for the driver and passenger, but the ABS and traction control were on the options list.

Under the hood, Chrysler installed a 3.3-liter push-rod V6 engine carried over from the carmaker’s minivan family, although a 3.5-liter 24-valve V6 was available on the upper trim levels.
