About Dodge Aries
The Dodge Aries is a mid-size car began in 1981 as the first K-car. It was basically available in three body styles: a two-door coupe, a four-door sedan, and a four-door station wagon. Three different configurations were offered, including base, custom and SE. Unlike most small car models, the K series was based on the traditional six-seat configuration with two driver's seats at the front, which was popular among many American buyers. Engines included a new SOHC I4 and an optional 2.6L supported by "Silent Shaft". Also, semi-circular combustion chambers was included in the parts. The sales experienced a good start, an was among the most popular models in 1981.
The larger version of the Dodge Aries was classified as a 4-cylinder family car with front-wheel drive. The body style included two- or four-door sedan and station wagon, mostly equipped with six seats. From people' view, it is a car with good performance and acceptable price, so the model sold well before the redesign of extended versions, sports versions and station wagons. Front-wheel drive cars were generally considered as better than rear-wheel-drive versions in low-grip conditions including snow, mud, gravel, etc. They generally had better cornering dynamics because the location of the engine was above the steering wheel.

The first minor change came as the vehicle received a new, more rounded front end with an egg-shaped or rectangular grille, which shared the same height with the headlights. Other Dodge Aries parts included a new rear bonnet with five-piece taillights. Also, a new higher LE trim level was available. The base model was equipped with a 2.2L four-cylinder engine accompanied by a dual-flow electronic carburetor. With the new five-speed manual transmission put into practice, the new Dodge Aries and its parts could run faster and 8% more fuel-efficient on the highway.

As for the transmissions, a 4-speed manual and a 3-speed automatic with a floor-mounted or column-shifting gearbox were given to the Dodge Aries. In 1981, the 2.6 HEMI was introduced to the model. This engine could let the vehicle accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 13 seconds. Also, the 2.2L carburetor was supported by a new electronic fuel injection system, and a new optional 2.5L four-cylinder version with fuel injection was added. A four-speed manual gearbox was standard on this edition. Later, the SE version ceased, leaving the LE and the base the only two trim levels under production.
