The mid-size Sebring has been a fixture in the Chrysler lineup since 1995. Over the run, four-cylinder engine variations of the Sebring have been known to deliver good gas mileage ratings, flirting with a highway range of 30 miles per gallon (MPG). The 2008 Sebring is available as a four-door sedan or two-door convertible. When fitted with the four-cylinder engine, the Sebring convertible is one of the most fuel-efficient ragtops on the market. If fuel-efficient top-down driving’s not your thing, you may be interested to know that the four-door sedan can be equipped with all-wheel-drive (AWD).The domestic 2008 Chrysler Sebring can be fitted with one of three engines:
-2.4 liter DOHC four-cylinder engine, producing 173 horsepower (HP) and 166 foot pounds of torque
-2.7 liter DOHC six-cylinder engine, producing 189 HP and 191 foot pounds of torque
-3.5 liter high output SOHC V-6 engine with the AutoStick six-speed automatic transmission and duel exhaust, producing 235 HP and 232 foot pounds of torque
Internationally, the Sebring can be ordered with a 2.0 liter Volkswagen common rail turbodiesel producing 138 HP and 229 foot pounds of torque, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. With the turbodiesel and six-speed manual, the European Sebring produces a 0-62 mile per hour time of 12 seconds flat, with 34.4 urban / 55.4 extra urban miles per British gallon … that equates to roughly 28.6 city / 46.1 highway here in the States.
