First Impressions of the Dodge Shadow for 1994

Dodge has been blessed with many award-winning designs, including the Dodge Shadow of 1994. There are two trim levels to the Shadow, including Base and ES. The ES version is one of the more popular options. Like in 1993 the popular 3.0 liter has made this a popular choice for hatchback buyers around the world.

Performance

Dodge Shadow Engine Specs: The Shadow ES comes outfitted with a 3.0 liter, 6-cylinder motor that uses 12 valves. The engine, manufactured by Mitsubishi, is teamed up with a Chrysler 5-speed transaxle. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Dodge.

The Shadow uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

The 1994 Shadow’s traditional fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 14.00 gallons.

Shadow ES Statistics

The Shadow is 171.90 inches long, 67.30 inches wide, and 53.10 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 97.20 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the Shadow is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the hatchback market.

The listed retail price in 1994 (MSRP) was $8,806, with an invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Hatchback.

Fuel Efficiency

The Shadow ES received a miles-per-gallon rating of 23 - 26 in-city driving and 30 - 33 when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

In 1993 and 1994 the Shadow ES was availble in the exterior colors of several colors. Additional options were made available by the factory.

Conclusion

The 1994 model year was unsuccessful for the Dodge Shadow. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the ES version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
