Who makes Eagle cars?
Eagle was an American car marque created by Chrysler after it acquired American Motors Corporation (AMC). The name carried AMC’s passenger-car business into Chrysler’s Jeep-Eagle division, and the range drew on both Renault and Mitsubishi engineering. The brand’s models span 1988 to 1998, a brief chapter in American motoring.
Eagle models and the range over the years
The range began with the Medallion and Premier in 1988. The Medallion had a short run, while the Premier continued through 1992. The Summit joined in 1989 and stayed into the middle of the decade; the Talon arrived in 1990 and lasted longest, through 1998.
The Vision, introduced in 1993, added a larger, more contemporary sedan to the later line-up and remained through 1997. Taken together, the names trace a shift from the early Renault-influenced cars to models with stronger Chrysler and Mitsubishi ties. Eagle was discontinued after the 1998 model year.
What are Eagle cars known for?
Eagle’s range was varied rather than built around one body style or a single type of driver. The Premier and Vision were sedans, while the Summit and Talon brought smaller, more youthful choices to the line-up. The Talon is especially associated with a sportier image; the Vision represented the marque’s later, larger-sedan direction.
That mix reflects Eagle’s role within Chrysler: it gave former AMC dealers a passenger-car marque whose models came from different parts of the wider company and its partnerships. Its identity was less a single design theme than a changing collection of cars under one badge.
Eagle fuel economy and emissions figures
Eagle figures on this page are for the United States and Canada. The EPA rates US vehicles, while Canada’s NRCan publishes its own fuel-consumption figures. Those results should be read within each market’s test system: US EPA procedures and Canada’s 5-cycle method differ from the WLTP or NEDC tests used in Europe, so their figures are not direct like-for-like comparisons.
The range shown here is focused on official fuel consumption, CO₂ and power figures where available for those markets. Eagle’s passenger cars were conventionally powered; there is no electric or plug-in hybrid model in this line-up.
