About Plymouth Reliant
The Plymouth Reliant was a mid-size car introduced in 1981. Its production ended in 1989. The Plymouth Reliant was also the first "K - car" produced and sold by Plymouth. The Reliant was available as a 2-door coupe, 4-door sedan, or 4-door wagon. Three different trim lines were offered: Base, Custom, and SE ("Special Edition"). The Reliant is equipped with the new 2.2 L I4 SOHC engine. Initial sales were brisk. Over 150,000 Reliant units were sold in 1981. The Plymouth Reliant was classified by the EPA as a midsize car. It was the smallest car with six passengers and three seats per row. It was similar to the larger rear-wheel drive cars. Plymouth marketed the car as being able to accommodate "six Americans." The Reliant was selected by Motor Trend magazine. Nearly 1.1 million vehicles were sold during its nine-year run.
1981 and 1982 were the only two years that drivers could order factory-installed sunroofs on coupes and sedans. 1983 saw the 4-door sedan and wagon models finally adopt rollable rear door windows instead of the previously fixed glass with rear quarter pop-up panes. In 1984, the taillights were trimmed in chrome. And the interior featured a padded instrument panel and a new black dashboard with round gauges. 1985 saw the first major change. A new egg crate or crosshair grille was fitted to the Plymouth, at the same height as the headlights. A new trim line, the top LE ("Luxury Edition"), was added. And it also replaced the custom level on the wagon. The base engine was a transversely mounted 2.2 L inline four-cylinder with an electronic two-barrel carburetor rated at 82 hp (61 kW). The drive axle was either a 4-speed floor-shift manual or a 3-speed automatic with floor or column shift. Products with this part accelerated from 0-60 mph in the 13-second range.

In 1986, the carburetor on the engine was replaced by a new throttle-body electronic fuel injection system. At the same time, a new 2.5-liter four-cylinder one, also fuel injected, was added to the list of options. However, drivability and reliability issues led to its replacement. The four-speed manual transmission, previously offered as standard equipment, was dropped. The SE trim line was dropped. LE and base trim remained the only trim until the end of production. in 1988, all Reliant models have renamed Reliant America in the U.S. and Reliant Canada in Canada. After 1987, Reliant made only minor changes for the rest of the production run. No wagon models were sold in 1989. In 1989, the Reliant was replaced.
