The Chrysler Sebring (/ˈsiːbrɪŋ/ SEE-bring) is a mid-size automobile manufactured and marketed by Chrysler from 1995 to 2010 in convertible (three generations), sedan (two generations), and coupe (two generations) body styles. Both coupe generations were a Chrysler design with engineering input from Mitsubishi and were built at Mitsubishi’s Normal, Illinois facility (operated then by Diamond-Star Motors). The range was introduced in 1995, with the Coupe replacing the Chrysler LeBaron coupe. In 1996 Chrysler introduced the convertible, replacing its LeBaron counterpart.
In 2000, (then) DaimlerChrysler presented the redesigned Sebrings — Sedan, Coupe, and Convertible — at the New York Auto Show for model year 2001. The Coupe used a variant of the Mitsubishi Eclipse ST Platform, while the sedan and convertible used the Chrysler JR platform successors to the Chrysler Cirrus. The coupe was discontinued after 2005.
The third generation sedan was introduced for 2007, and a revised convertible the following year. New options included all-wheel drive on sedans and an available retractable metal top for the convertible. All Sebring models were replaced by the Chrysler 200 for the 2011 model year.
