For 2003, four models are available: base ($16,275); Touring ($17,990); Limited Edition ($20,340); and PT Turbo (estimated at $22,500). (Prices are estimates based on MY2002 pricing.)
All are powered by a 2.4-liter twin-cam engine. They come with the standard five-speed manual or an optional four-speed automatic transaxle ($825).
The PT Cruiser comes standard with air conditioning, power windows, rear defroster and wiper, six-speaker AM/FM/CD and 15-inch wheels. An optional Power Convenience Group ($570) adds remote keyless entry, automatic power central locking, and dual power heated foldaway mirrors.
The Touring model gets everything in the convenience package plus a touring suspension, wider tires on 16-inch silver aluminum wheels, fog lights, a fold-flat front passenger seat, security alarm, and other features.
The Limited Edition comes equipped with just about everything: leather upholstery, side-impact airbags, cruise control, glass sunroof and chromed 16-inch alloy wheels.
The PT Turbo adds the stronger engine and larger diameter wheels and tires, anti-lock brakes, and a performance tuned suspension. All of the Limited Edition's luxury goodies are available as options.
Options on the other models include antilock disc brakes with traction control ($595), engine block heater ($35), and a roof rack ($175).
