Chrysler has today revealed the new Sebring Cabrio, to be launched in the UK at the end of 2007.
All UK models will feature a retractable hard roof that folds into three sections and stows in less than 30 seconds. Standard roof system features include remote control operation from the key fob, standard powered tonneau cover and automatic latching.
Right hand drive models will be available with a 2.7-litre V6 petrol engine with six-speed automatic gearbox offering 189bhp and 191lb-ft of torque. A 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine with six-speed manual will also be available with 140bhp and 229lb-ft of torque.
Chrysler didn't say whether the car had been tested at the Sebring circuit.
Instead, Chrysler boss Peter Lambert said: “Over the last decade the Sebring has been America’s favourite convertible and this latest model is ideal for European markets with a folding hard roof and choice of petrol and diesel engines.
“The new Sebring is a stunning four seat two-door Cabrio that will offer outstanding value for money compared to competitors like the Saab 9-3 and Audi A4 in the UK. The Cabrio offers more than enough room for four adults plus exceptional cargo space. It is three inches longer than the Sebring saloon and there is luggage space for four golf bags with the roof up and two golf bags when the roof is retracted.”
And if you don't play golf, why bother?
