After a larger, more powerful Sebring sedan debuted last year, the 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible joins the lineup with a variety of luxury and multimedia options, potent engine choices, and an optional retractable hard top.

Both the four-door sedan and stylish four-seat convertible are available in three trim levels: base, touring, and limited. Consequently, there are three engine choices that correspond to each trim level. Base models are equipped with a 2.4 liter DOHC 16-Valve 4-cylinder engine with variable valve timing (VVT), generating 173 horsepower and 166 lb.-ft. of torque. Touring models carry the proven 2.7 liter DOHC 24-Valve MPI V6 engine with 189 horsepower and 191 lb.-ft. of torque. Limited models tout a powerful 3.5 liter DOHC MPI V6 engine with 235 horsepower and 232 lb.-ft. of torque.

A four-speed automatic transmission is standard on base and touring models, while limited models come with a 6-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick® manumatic shifting.

The highlight of the new Sebring Convertible is the optional retractable hard top on Limited models. Lowered or raised with the touch of a button on the instrument panel or key fob, the top is ready for action in 30 seconds.  Plus, with the top down, there’s adequate room for two sets of golf clubs. A power-retractable soft top is standard on every Sebring Convertible model, and an available windscreen reduces noise and turbulence for front-seat passengers.

Adding to the elegant design, Sebring models boast a multitude of luxury and entertainment features. The available MyGIG™ Multimedia Infotainment System incorporates a dizzying array of modern conveniences, including SIRIUS Satellite Radio, voice-activated GPS navigation system, an integrated USB 2.0 port with a 20GB hard drive for media storage, and an integrated CD/DVD player. For Bluetooth®-compatible cell phone users, the UConnect® in-vehicle communications system allows completely hands-free usage, allowing you to focus on proper cruising in your new Chrysler.

The sedan and convertible are also loaded with advanced safety features. The available Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with traction control helps maintain vehicle directional stability and minimize wheel spin during acceleration. The Sebring Convertible features advanced multistage driver and front passenger airbags and seat-mounted side airbags, while the Sebring Sedan adds supplemental side-impact inflatable curtain air bags for the first and second row. A standard antilock braking system (ABS) and tire pressure monitoring system round out an impressive safety package.
