The Chrysler Sebring sits in one of the most competitive segments. Strong sellers like the Camry, Accord, and Altima have made it tough for even solid new offerings like the Sonata to compete. With the new Sebring, Chrysler will attempt to gain ground by offering distinctive styling and unique features on their all-new Sebring sedan. Chrysler offers Sebring in three grades: Sebring LX, Touring, and Limited. Base Sebrings are equipped with a 172hp four-cylinder. Mid-grade models include a 190hp 2.7L V6. The range-topping Limited model offers a 235hp 3.5L V6. The top model is equipped with a competitive six-speed automatic, while the other models are stuck with a four-speed automatic. The Sebring offers a number of unique convenience features such as LED interior lighting and a heated/cooled cup holder.

What Changed:

The optional all-wheel-drive system was dropped for the 2009 model year. Two months after announcing the 2009 model year changes, Chrysler further pared the Sebring lineup to just one trim level (Limited) and two engines. The 2.7L V6 has been dropped.
