Redesigned as an early 2000 model, Dodge's subcompact now came only as a 4-door sedan. As before, a nearly identical Plymouth version was created. Appearance did not change substantially, compared with the 1995-99 first-generation models. Neons came in two trim levels: base Highline and better-equipped ES, though the latter was actually an option package. Sole engine was a 132-horsepower overhead-cam 4-cylinder, with a 5-speed manual transmission or optional 3-speed automatic. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes were optional, packaged with traction control. Side-impact airbags were not available. In fall 1999, a cassette player and a leather shift boot for the manual gearshift lever became standard, and a CD changer joined the options list. The power-window option is for front windows only.
