Chrysler Sebring

Among the 144 Chrysler entries in the MotorJury library, the Chrysler Sebring holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 1994. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Chrysler Sebring properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 1990s were the decade of refinement — airbags and ABS became universal, Japanese build quality set the world standard, and the modern SUV segment was effectively invented. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Audi AG Audi A4, the Audi AG Audi A6, the Subaru Subaru Outback — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Chrysler Sebring reads like this: the record lists its engine as Coupe: / 2.0 L 420A I4 (gasoline) / 2.5 L Mitsubishi 6G73 V6 (gasoline) / Convertible: / 2.4 L EDZ I4 (gasoline) / 2.4 L EDV/EDT I4 (t/c gasoline) / 2.5 L Mitsubishi 6G73 V6 (gasol; kerb weight is recorded at related = Convertible: / Chrysler Cirrus / Dodge Stratus / Plymouth Breeze / Coupe: / Dodge Avenger / Eagle Talon / Mitsubishi Eclipse; drive goes through 5-speed manual / 4-speed Ultradrive 41TE automatic; the layout is Transverse front-engine, front-wheel drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Chrysler story

Within Chrysler's own catalogue the Chrysler Sebring sits alongside the Chrysler Falcon, the Chrysler Chronos, the Chrysler Sunbeam, the Chrysler Avenger. The record names the Chrysler LeBaron (for coupe and convertible) / Chrysler Cirrus (for sedan) as its predecessor and the Chrysler 200 (for sedan and convertible) / GAZ Volga Siber (Russia) as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to sp = us. Assembly is recorded at Normal, Illinois, United States (coupe) / Toluca, Mexico (convertibles).

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Chrysler Sebring was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
