The Eagle Vision was an upper middle class sedan with front-wheel drive offered by the US automobile brand Eagle from the beginning of 1992 to the end of 1997.

The Vision was based on the LH platform of the Chrysler Group and was closely related to the Chrysler Concorde , New Yorker and LHS models as well as the Dodge Intrepid . There was no Plymouth variant. The Vision only differed from the Dodge Intrepid and Chrysler Concorde models in details, such as the wedge-shaped design of the front section. In Europe , the Eagle Vision - like the Dodge Caravan - was offered under the Chrysler name.

The Vision was presented at the Detroit Motor Show in early 1992. The design followed the Cab Forward philosophy propagated by Chrysler and featured a long wheelbase, relatively short overhangs, and a passenger cabin with a correspondingly short bonnet that reached far forward.

The versions ESi with 3.3 l V6 (114 kW / 155 PS) and TSi with 3.5 l V6 (160 kW / 218 PS) with 24 valves, each in conjunction with a four-speed automatic transmission. The Vision ESi offered stiffer chassis, ABS, a leather steering wheel and 16-inch aluminum rims .

In the fall of 1993, the output of the 3.3-liter was increased to 120 kW (163 hp) and the automatic was revised with a view to smoother gear changes.

For the 1997 model year, the basic ESi model received rear drum brakes instead of the previously used disc brakes.

The Eagle brand was completely discontinued in spring 1998. The already completed successor was then offered as the Chrysler 300M . A total of 94,000 copies of the Eagle Vision were produced.
