The Dodge 400 was a short-lived, upscale version of the Dodge Aries K-car that was available only in 1982-83. Its drivetrain and dimensions were identical to the Aries, so that meant the 2.2L I4 was standard and Mitsubishi's 2.6L I4 was optional. The 400's main styling differences from the Aries were recessed individual quad headlamps and blanked-off rear quarter windows on the sedan. The 400 was offered as a coupe and sedan, but was not available as a station wagon model - but it was offered as a convertible, whereas the Aries was not. Other than a different nose and a more nicely-appointed interior, the 400 was basically little more than an Aries in a dinner suit. The 400 was discontinued after 1983, but the convertible model lived on as a 600 when it was absorbed into that line. | The Dodge 400 was a short-lived, upscale version of the Dodge Aries K-car that was available only in 1982-83.
