What kind of car was the Chrysler Intrepid?
The Intrepid was a large four-door sedan sold in Canada under the Chrysler name. It was known as the Dodge Intrepid in other markets. Its flowing shape and front-wheel-drive layout reflected Chrysler’s cab-forward design approach, which placed the cabin farther forward in the body.
Both generations used Chrysler’s LH platform. The first ran from 1996 to 1997, followed by the second from 1998 to 2004. The later generation updated the styling while retaining the front-wheel-drive sedan layout.
