About Chrysler Sebring Coupe
For the 2001 model year, a revised Sebring Coupe based on the third-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse was released. Except for the name and a few external aesthetic elements to help promote all three vehicles as one model, the coupe featured virtually little in common with the sedan or convertible in the previous generation.
For 2003, the Sebring Coupe received a small redesign before being phased out after the 2005 model year. The Sebring coupe was to be replaced by the revised 2008 Chrysler Sebring convertible.
For the mainland European market, Chrysler produced export versions of the Sebring sedan and convertible from 2001 to 2006. The front and rear lights are European-style, with orange turn-signal indications and additional side-turn repeaters on the front fenders, unlike in the United States and Canada. The back bumper features a wider depression for the longer European-size license plates, as well as two rear foglamps, one on each side of the plate. The LHD headlamps use Euro-type H4 bulbs and a three-way up and down beam-level adjustment control on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. The emission controls comply with the EURO 3 standard; later models comply with the EURO 4 standard. The 2.0 L DOHC 16V inline 4-cylinder (later replaced by the 2.4L unit in some countries) and the 2.7 L DOHC 24V 6-cylinder engines were available. The 2.0L and 2.4L engines are both available.

The 2.0 and 2.4L engines come with either a 5-speed manual or a four-speed 41TE automatic transmission (depending on the country), while the six-cylinder engine is only available with an automatic transmission.
The European variants are equipped with a 240 km/h-160 mph speedometer (with km/h predominating). Kilometers are displayed on the odometer and trip meter. Because the Sebring sedan and convertible were only available in left-hand drive from 2001 to 2006, they were not sold in the United Kingdom or Ireland. In 2001/2002, Chrysler UK did import 50 convertibles with the 2.7L engine, which were marketed through select dealers. However, because they were not standard in Chrysler’s UK lineup at the time, no more were imported.
