Chrysler Prowler: which version to buy
There is only one Chrysler Prowler in this catalogue: 3.5 AT, a Cabrio from 1 generation (2001-01-01 to 2002-12-31). There is no second engine, no extra gearbox, no restyle as a separate generation, and no later year with different measured figures.
There is only one Chrysler Prowler in this catalogue: 3.5 AT, a Cabrio from 1 generation (2001-01-01 to 2002-12-31). There is no second engine, no extra gearbox, no restyle as a separate generation, and no later year with different measured figures. The buying question is not “which Prowler variant,” but whether 3.5 AT matches the numbers you actually need: 257 hp (188 kW) at 6400 rpm, 346 Nm at 3950 rpm, 3518 cm³, Gasoline, 6 cylinders, V-shaped, boost No, Automatic 4, RWD, 6 s to 100 km/h, 210 km/h, kerb 1310 kg, tank 46 l. Fuel use, CO₂, eco class, gross weight, ground clearance, and rear suspension are not measured.
Chrysler Prowler years and generations
1 generation is the whole Chrysler Prowler story in these data: start 2001-01-01, stop 2002-12-31, body Cabrio, 1 version. Searches for 2000 specs, 2001 vs 2002 engines, or extra “years of Prowler” do not map onto extra rows here. 2001 Chrysler Prowler specs and 2002 Chrysler Prowler specs are the same measured set for 3.5 AT. Production count is not measured. Plymouth Prowler is not measured in this file; only Chrysler Prowler is listed.
Chrysler Prowler specs: the one version that exists
| Version | hp | Nm | cm³ | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5 AT | 257 | 346 | 3518 | Gasoline | 6 | V-shaped | No | Automatic 4 | RWD |
3.5 AT is Front, longitudinal; Distributed injection (multi-point); 4 valves per cylinder; compression 10.1; bore × stroke 96 × 81. Front brakes Disc, rear brakes Disc. Front suspension Independent, spring; rear suspension not measured.
There is no second name to split by power. There is no V8 in the table. Engine options, engine swap, and a different motor for 2001 vs 2002 are not measured.
Chrysler Prowler engine: what the extra litre would have bought (it did not)
Power per litre for 3.5 AT: 257 ÷ 3.518 ≈ 73.1 hp/l (188 ÷ 3.518 ≈ 53.4 kW/l). Torque per litre: 346 ÷ 3.518 ≈ 98.4 Nm/l. Stroke/bore: 81 ÷ 96 = 0.844 — the given 96 × 81 pair is oversquare on arithmetic, not a second engine.
Peak torque sits at 3950 rpm; peak power at 6400 rpm. The gap is 2450 rpm. You are not choosing a high-rev map versus a truck map; you are taking this one Automatic 4, RWD pairing.
Boost is No. Horsepower is 257, not a second figure for a later year. Engine size is 3518 cm³. Engine bay layout beyond Front, longitudinal is not measured.
Chrysler Prowler 0-100, horsepower, mpg
3.5 AT 0–100 km/h: 6 s. Top speed: 210 km/h. That is 35 km/h per second if you treat 0–100 as a straight average over six seconds — only a reading of the two given numbers, not a second test.
City, highway, and combined consumption: not measured. MPG: not measured. CO₂: not measured. Eco class: not measured. A buyer comparing “economy versions” has nothing to rank; 3.5 AT is the only row, and fuel use is blank.
Tank 46 l with no consumption figure means range is not measured.
Chrysler Prowler curb weight, dimensions, wheels
Kerb weight 3.5 AT: 1310 kg. Gross weight: not measured. Ground clearance: not measured. Overall dimensions (length/width/height/wheelbase): not measured. Trailer rating: not measured.
Weight per horsepower: 1310 ÷ 257 ≈ 5.10 kg/hp. Power per tonne: 257 ÷ 1.310 ≈ 196 hp/t. Those two ratios are the whole “which generation is lighter” comparison: there is no other generation to subtract from.
Wheels: 225/45 R20 and 295/40 R20. Rear listed width is 70 mm greater than the 225 tyre (295 − 225). That stagger is the only tyre choice in the data — not optional sizes across versions.
Which Chrysler Prowler to buy
Buy 3.5 AT if you want the only Chrysler Prowler this catalogue records: Cabrio, 1 generation, 2001–2002, Gasoline 6 V-shaped, 257 hp / 346 Nm / 3518 cm³, Automatic 4, RWD, 6 s, 210 km/h, 1310 kg, 46 l, 20-inch pair 225/45 R20 and 295/40 R20.
Do not wait for a second Chrysler Prowler engine option, a V8 row, a manual, AWD, or a 2002-only horsepower bump — none of those appear. Arithmetic does not create a “better” sibling: there is no +hp, no −kg, no extra gears. Original price, MSRP, and for-sale listings are not measured here and are not a reason to pick one year over the other inside this file.
If you need measured mpg, trailer figures, dimensions, production numbers, or a Plymouth comparison, those fields are not measured; the version name to match against a modification page remains exactly 3.5 AT.
