2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible: Engineering

Auburn Hills, Mich. August 31, 2006 - ENGINEERING

“Not only is the PT Convertible a blast to drive, it’s also extremely quiet with top up or down and offers a level of ride handling not typically found in the segment,” said Larry Lyons, Vice President—Front-wheel-drive Product Team. “It’s also the only convertible in its class that offers two turbocharged engines.”

From interior spaciousness, function and flexibility to engine power, a quiet ride and sold handling, the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible tops the competition.

The 2007 Chrysler PT Convertible has more interior volume than its competitors, making comfortable room for four passengers. Those passengers also have plenty of room to stretch their legs, with at least 10 more inches of rear-seat legroom than the competition. The PT Convertible also provides interior functionality that is rare in the convertible market, including Fold and Tumble 50/50 rear seats, nine different seat configurations and enough room with the pass-through luggage volume to hold two golf bags.

Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible is the only convertible in its class to offer two turbocharged engines (180 horsepower and 230 horsepower). Not only quick off the line, the Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible also has a smooth ride. Structural reinforcements provide superior convertible ride and handling. Top up or down, the Chrysler PT Cruiser is an extremely quiet convertible, thanks to extensive wind tunnel testing, acoustic treatments and weather stripping. When the top is dropped, the sport bar design lifts wind above the vehicle and assists in reducing wind noise.
