Chrysler Sebring History

Mid-size car · 1995–2010

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.
