Chrysler's mid-size line of 1995–2010 in coupe, sedan, and a perennially popular convertible — succeeded by the 200.

History
The Sebring debuted for 1995, the coupe replacing the LeBaron coupe (and built on the Mitsubishi Eclipse's platform), while a 1996 convertible took over from the LeBaron convertible to keep Chrysler in its strong drop-top niche.
The second generation (2001–2006) added a four-door sedan and dropped the hardtop coupe after 2005. The third generation (2007–2010) offered a sedan and, from 2008, a convertible with an available retractable metal hardtop.
Across coupe, sedan, and convertible body styles, the Sebring ran through 2010 before all variants were replaced by the Chrysler 200 for 2011.
