The 1997 Concorde is available in a single model. For 1997, the standard 3.3L V6 engine has been replaced by last years higher output engine, the 3.5L V6. Comfort has been addressed with the addition of an eight-way power driver seat as standard equipment. Variable assist, speed sensitive steering (this increases steering firmness at higher speeds) is available with the LXi package. A trip computer, compass and outside temperature gauge are available this year and are included with the overhead console. The cassette stereo was improved to allow radio play during fast forward and rewind. The Concorde has two sister cars which are the Dodge Intrepid and the Eagle Vision.
