Chrysler Newport Engines and Transmissions

Chrysler Newport engine choices center on V8 power. For example, a 6.3-liter unit could be paired with a three-speed manual in the Cabrio, giving drivers direct control. Alternatively, a larger 7.2-liter V8 was available with a smooth automatic transmission in the same body style. A 5.9-liter V8 with an automatic was also offered, as seen in a Sedan Hardtop, balancing performance with ease of use.
