Overview
Chrysler's Sebring coupe combines style, practicality, and sporty driving dynamics at an affordable price. The Sebring is a stylish sports coupe, yet there's enough genuine legroom in the back seats for two adults. This is a lot of sports coupe for $20,000, and a V6 engine is available for increased acceleration performance. Model Lineup
Sebring coupe is available as two models: LX and LXi. Sebring LX ($20,020) is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. This single overhead-cam engine is rated at 142 horsepower. LX comes standard with air conditioning and power windows, mirrors and door locks. Sebring LXi ($21,710) comes with a 3.0-liter V6 rated at 200 horsepower. The V6 mates either to the standard five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic ($825) with or without Chrysler's AutoStick ($165). LXi comes standard with four-wheel disc brakes (replacing the LX model's rear drum brakes) and 17-inch aluminum wheels (instead of the LX's 16-inch steel wheels). LXi also gets a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a premium sound system with cassette deck and CD player, and a compass and outside temperature display. Optional safety equipment includes ABS ($565) for Sebring LX, and ABS with Traction Control ($740) for Sebring LXi automatics. An option for the LXi is the Leather Interior Group ($1045), which includes leather seats, a six-way power driver's seat, and a universal garage door opener.
