2002 Chrysler Sebring Review

Alfresco motoring that's practical and affordable.
Walkaround
Chrysler has been a leader in American design in recent years and the Sebring convertible is an example of that. Its fluid lines stretch smoothly over a long and broad form. The overall shape is dominated by a prominent hood and cantilevered windshield that rakes rearward at an extreme angle. The design is similar to that of the Sebring sedan and coupe, but there are key differences that go beyond the soft top.

The front of the convertible is set off with an exaggerated oval air intake port inset with a dark egg-crate grille ringed in chrome. Narrow headlamps wrap around front corners above round fog lights flanking the grille.

Side panels with rolled shoulders flare in rings around wheelwells to draw attention to large wheels that include multi-spoke designs in cast aluminum for the LXi, and chrome alloy for the Limited. At the rear a spoiler lip arches over large corner lamps and the thick mass of a monotone bumper.

The Sebring convertible shares its name and styling with a two-door Sebring coupe and four-door Sebring sedan. The sedan and convertible use similar chassis and suspension elements, and share the same V6 engine and automatic transmissions.

Convertible and sedan roll out of the same Chrysler assembly plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan. (See separate reviews of the sedan and coupe at NewCarTestDrive.com.) Next Page
