The Dodge 400 was a K-car that was introduced in the early 80s. The 400 was very similar to the
Chrysler LeBaron that was available around the same time. Officially introduced in 1982, the Dodge 400 would last just one year before it was replaced. Though the Dodge 400 only lasted one year it was considered to be a luxury version of the
Dodge Aries.
The 400 was available in both a two door coupe and a four door sedan and was the first convertible offering by Dodge since the 1971 Challenger. The Dodge 400 was offered in two different trim levels, which were the base and the LS. There were just two engines offered as well, which were the base 2.2 liter I4 engine as well as a 2.6 liter I4 that was borrowed from Mitsubishi. The convertible body type came standard with the 2.6 liter while the coupe and sedan came standard with the 2.2-liter engine and with the 2.6 offered as an upgrade option. Total production for the 1982 model year was 31, 449. In 1983 there were no changes made other than the dropping of the LS trim line, yet more than 25,000 units were produced. In 1983 the Dodge 400 was replaced.
