About the 2010 Chrysler Sebring
3rd generation JS, final year: the sedan debuted for 2007 and the convertible followed for 2008, and the Sebring name gives way to the heavily refreshed Chrysler 200 for 2011.
Chrysler marketed the 2010 Sebring as a comfort-first midsize car with two personalities: a practical sedan and a true four-seat convertible. The brochures lean on sleek styling, a smooth ride, quiet-cruising comfort, and everyday convenience features more than sporty driving. Its clearest differentiator versus many rivals was offering both sedan and convertible body styles within the same model range, while the sedan pitched a roomy cabin and easy daily use.
The 2010 Sebring remains a comfort-focused midsize sedan and four-seat convertible. LX is the straightforward convertible with a power cloth top, Touring adds touches such as 17-inch aluminum wheels, and Limited brings leather seating and heated front seats.
