- 1967-1986 Simca Type 315 - Developed by Simca before its takeover by Chrysler and later manufactured by Peugeot, this engine family was famously used in the Horizon.
- Chrysler 2.2 / 2.5 engine - Chrysler developed a specialized straight-4 SOHC engine for the K and L platforms. The 2.2 L engine was eventually expanded to 2.5 L in 1985, and fuel injection and turbocharging were added. The highest-performance version of this engine was available with a 16V Lotus head, twin cams, a Garrett turbocharger with intercooler, and DIS. This version was rated 224 hp (167 kW).

Turbocharged variants made their way into the PT Cruiser and the Dodge SRT-4.
- Tritec engine - Chrysler and BMW teamed up to build a 1.6 L version of the SOHC Neon engine (many similarities, reduced bore size and spacing, designed by Chrysler) for subcompact cars to be built in Brazil. Although this engine is not sold in North America in any Chrysler vehicle, it is available in the BMW MINI Cooper, and is used in international Neons and Chrysler PT Cruisers.
