Chrysler Cirrus Performance Overview
Chrysler’s Cirrus enters the performance record here with a single-model-year snapshot, covered by 4 verified tests spanning 1995 to 1995. Within that sample, the JA-generation midsize sedan was tested exclusively with naturally aspirated gasoline power, centered on a 163-hp V6 lineup. The range is narrow but clear: 0-60 runs span from 9.8 seconds in the 1995 LXi Sedan to 10.3 seconds in another 1995 LXi Sedan test, with the same trim also posting the quickest quarter-mile at 17.2 seconds at 79.8 mph.
Because all recorded data falls in 1995, the Cirrus’s performance story on this page is really the opening chapter of the JA era rather than a multi-era progression. The LXi Sedan established the model’s benchmark immediately, while the Custom Wheel LX Sedan helped define the broader production range around an average 0-60 of 10.08 seconds and an average quarter-mile of 17.43 seconds at 80 mph. As it stands today in this dataset, the current JA generation is also the latest one represented, with the 1995 LXi Sedan remaining the quickest Cirrus tested here at a current-generation best of 9.8 seconds to 60 mph.
