The 2003 Chrysler Concorde is offered in three trim levels, each with a progressively more powerful V6 engine.Concorde LX ($22,660) comes with a 200-horsepower, 2.7-liter V6, a cloth interior and a high level of standard equipment. Concorde LXi ($25,390) is motivated by a 234-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. Upholstered in leather, the LXi adds convenience features such as automatic air conditioning, automatic headlights, automatic mirror dimming, and a premium 120-watt stereo with a CD player. It also comes with a bigger battery, a more powerful alternator, and aluminum wheels to complement the more powerful engine. The LXi is a nice step up from the LX. Concorde Limited ($28,285) boasts a 250-horsepower high-output 3.5-liter V6, premium leather seating surfaces, eight-way power heated driver and front passenger seats, 240-watt stereo, and other luxury features. Memory systems recall radio settings, and seating and mirror adjustments. Several features help make the most of the more powerful engine: Bigger (17-inch) tires offer more grip and come wrapped around chrome-clad aluminum wheels. Traction control, which reduces front wheel spin when accelerating over slippery surfaces, is standard, along with ABS, which allows the driver to brake and steer at the same time in a panic stop. Speed-sensitive power steering is also standard, making the steering effort light in parking lots yet maintaining solid steering feel at highway speeds.
