Over the years, the marque has identified itself as sleek, powerful and luxurious. This image however had begun to fade owing to monotony of design over the previous years. However, Chrysler is hoping for a comeback with the more powerful and re-designed 2007 model.

Base, Touring, and Limited are the trims offered on this sedan. Top competitors include Toyota Camry, Pontiac G6, Ford Fusion, Subaru Legacy, Suzuki Verona, Dodge Stratus, KIA Optima, Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, Mazda Mazda6, Volkswagen Jetta, Mitsubishi Galant, Chevrolet Malibu and Mercury Milan. The Sebring stacks up favorably in terms of fuel economy in the city providing 22 mpg.

The 3.5L engine is mated to an AutoStick® 6-speed automatic transmission. The AutoStick enables smooth, precise, and effortless gear shifts. The easy shifting enhances engine performance especially on steep climbs. The two other engines, however, have continued with their 4-speed automatic mates.

The exterior has received an almost complete makeover and has very little in common with its predecessor. The signature Chrysler grille remains the same but is smaller in size and placed a little higher. The quad headlights are well spread over the bumper. The roofline curves towards the rear with a short overhang resulting in reduced headroom in the rear. Bold strokes inspired by Chrysler’s Crossfire model are spread out on the hood.

16-inch steel wheels come standard on the Base version and the higher versions stand on 17-inch and 18-inch alloys. The car has retained its previous length but is taller to its predecessor by about 5 inches.

The standard upholstery is soft cloth but seats with YES Essentials® odor and stain-resistant fabric or two-tone leather are available. The front seats with lumbar support are manually adjustable and a power driver's seat is optional.

Air conditioning, cruise control, tilt/telescoping steering, heated power mirrors, and a rear window defroster are standard. A few notable options are UConnect® Hands-Free Communication, MyGIG Multimedia Infotainment Radio with a 20GB hard drive, and a Rear Seat Video System.

Weighing around 3500 lbs., the car is able to corner well with limited body roll. The model as a whole has a stiffer chassis and a softened suspension. The ride is mostly quiet and the handling is good.

All Sebring models come with standard advanced multistage front airbags, supplemental side airbags, and side curtain airbags. Electronic stability control and traction control are available at an extra cost.
