Chrysler Vision: the „cab-forward“ sedan with a V6, what to know when buying
Chrysler Vision (1993–1997) — a large front-wheel-drive sedan with a V6 engine, which was sold in North America as the Eagle Vision. In this article, we look at its variants, engines, and what to check when buying a used car.
Vision in brief
The Vision belongs to Chrysler's „LH“ family, designed around the „cab-forward“ concept: wheels moved closer to the body corners, and the cabin pushed forward. As a result, this size car has a spacious interior and a long wheelbase.
The Vision was sold in limited numbers in Europe, making it a rare find in the used market, with some cars imported from the USA and Canada.
Versions — what sets them apart
The Vision shared the same foundations as the Chrysler Concorde and Dodge Intrepid. Versions differed by engine, trim, and features.
The car stood out with its sleek, aerodynamic silhouette and spacious interior.
Engines and transmissions
The Vision used V6 engines — roughly 3.3 and 3.5 litres, with the more powerful version producing around 214 hp.
The transmission was a 4-speed automatic, with front-wheel drive.
What to check when buying a used Vision
The automatic transmission — the key question. This family's 4-speed automatic is known to be finicky, so its operation and oil change history need to be checked meticulously.
Also, check the engine cooling system, suspension and brakes, electrical equipment (window controls, central locking) and signs of body corrosion.
Part selection is limited in Europe, but some parts are shared with the Chrysler Concorde and Dodge Intrepid, so they can be found through US suppliers.

Comparing versions

| Engine | 3.3 l V6 | 3.3 or 3.5 l V6 | 3.5-litre V6, around 214 hp |
