What year was the first Chrysler PT Cruiser?
My parents bought me a brand new PT Cruiser as a graduation gift when I finished college but I traded it in after grad school. I’m pretty it was a first-year model, but I just can’t remember and now I miss it! What year did the first Chrysler PT Cruiser come out?

What a cool car to have nostalgia for. The first
Chrysler PT Cruiser
was produced in 2000 for the 2001 model year. It was an unusual innovation at the time, and nobody was sure whether to call it a minivan, a utility vehicle, or a passenger car. Eventually, the PT Cruiser settled into its identity as a compact crossover SUV that seats five. Standard features for the 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser included:
- 150-hp, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine
- Four doors and a hatchback
- 16-inch steel wheels
- Optional front folding seat
- Automatic or manual transmission
- Optional ABS system
If you find a 2001 PT Cruiser that takes you back to your college days, you can shop for big savings like a student again with help from
