Frankfurt, Germany September 15, 2009 -

The Chrysler Sebring Cabrio delivers what no other cabrio on the road can: Chrysler’s sleek and elegant design, fun-to-drive performance, fuel efficiency, a spacious interior that comfortably seats four adults and enough trunk room to hold two golf bags, even when the top is folded down.

With a new smooth appearance hood and new wheel designs, Chrysler Sebring Cabrio gets an updated appearance. Retractable top options include a body-color painted steel retractable hard top and a power cloth top featuring an automatic tonneau cover. Top up or down, Chrysler Sebring Cabrio provides the benefits of a coupe and the true open-air freedom of a cabrio at an affordable price.

As many as four occupants may experience Chrysler Sebring Cabrio’s comfortable, roomy interior. Rear-seat passengers have plenty of head and leg room, while best-in-class (356-liters with the top up and 193-liters with the top down) trunk space gives Sebring Cabrio year-round functionality and versatility.

The Chrysler Sebring Cabrio features two fuel-efficient engine options: a powerful 2.0-liter turbo-diesel engine paired with six-speed manual transmission, and a responsive 2.7-liter 24-valve V-6 engine with six-speed Auto Stick.

Chrysler Sebring Cabrio has a rigid body structure that provides a quiet, comfortable ride and reduces cowl shake, even when the top is down. Front-wheel-drive architecture and three-box vehicle design contribute to a body that is 2.5-times stiffer in twist and 1.5-times stiffer in bending than the previous-generation Chrysler Sebring Cabrio. These refinements make the Chrysler Sebring Cabrio body structure stiffer than more expensive cabrios on the market.
