Specifications of the 1988 Dodge Dynasty
The 1988 Dodge Dynasty is a mid-size four-door sedan that was marketed by the Dodge division of Chrysler Corporation from 1988 to 1993. It was one of the largest Chrysler K-car variants and used the front-wheel drive Chrysler C/AC platform, sharing its body with the 1988-1993 Chrysler New Yorker. The Dodge Dynasty was assembled by Chrysler at its Belvidere Assembly Plant facility alongside the Chrysler New Yorker, New Yorker Fifth Avenue, and Imperial. The final vehicle was produced on May 28, 1993.
The 1988 Dodge Dynasty LE belongs to the CDP range of cars from Dodge. It is powered by a naturally aspirated engine of 2.5-liter capacity. This unit features single overhead camshaft valve gear, 4-cylinder layout, and 2 valves per cylinder.
For the 1988 model year, the Dodge Dynasty was available with a 4-cylinder engine and a 3.0-liter V6. The 3.0-liter V6 was optional in the base model and was the standard engine in the LE edition. The 1988-1993 Dynasty might have had a 3.3-liter V6 instead of the 3.0-liter V6.
The standard four-cylinder engine produced 100 horsepower, while the Mitsubishi-built 3.0-liter V6 was optional in the base model and standard in the LE edition. Both V6 engines are vastly superior to the 4-cylinder, but neither qualifies as a speedster. Even with a 3.0-liter V6, acceleration in a Dynasty is far from brisk, though certainly adequate. The standard four is feebler yet, but the 3.3-liter V6 is quicker than either.
The Dodge Dynasty offered a soft, generally comfortable ride, but expect a lot of body lean and tire squ.
