The last model year of the Chrysler LHS was 2001.
The LHS was a luxury-oriented variant of Chrysler's LH platform sedan, offered from 1999 through 2001, after which the badge was retired. Production spanned the late 1990s into the early 2000s as Chrysler experimented with premium features in its sedan lineup.
Background
The LHS was positioned as a premium variant within the LH family, offering more equipment and refined styling compared with base LH sedans. It shared platforms with other LH models but was marketed as a top-tier option during its brief run in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Timeline and Milestones
Here are the key milestones in the Chrysler LHS lifecycle:
- 1999 model year: LHS introduced as the premium trim on the LH platform.
- 2001 model year: Last year of LHS production; the badge was retired afterward.
There was no corresponding 2002 LHS model; the nameplate ended with the 2001 model year as Chrysler restructured its lineup and shifted away from the LH-based luxury sedan variant.
Post-LHS Era
After the LHS ended, Chrysler continued to offer other LH-derived sedans for a few years, and the brand later evolved its large-sedan strategy with different platform families. The LHS remains a notable footnote in late-1990s Chrysler history and a point of nostalgia for collectors and enthusiasts.
Notes

Summary
The Chrysler LHS was produced for the 1999 through 2001 model years, with 2001 marking its final year of production. The badge was not continued into 2002 or beyond, making 2001 the definitive end of the LHS line.
