#2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI DRIVER#
From the driver’s seat you can easily access window and lock switches mounted on the door.Īudio and climate systems contains large rotary dials in a simple scheme that are easy to operate.Įxcellent outward visibility for the driver is afforded through broad, tall expanses of glass bordered by relatively narrow windshield A-pillars. Sculptured pods on either side of the central console define notched cockpit spaces for the driver and front passenger. A dashboard collection of instruments, tucked beneath a bowed cowl, contains round analog gauges including a tachometer. The look and tone of appointments in the Sebring coupe is more sporty than it is luxurious. Further, we could extract ourselves easily from that space because the front seat slides forward sufficiently to permit a quick exit. We crawled into the rear seat and found that long legs fit neatly - even comfortably - behind the driver’s seat. Unlike some sport coupes, the Sebring has a chassis long enough to leave room in the backseat for adult riders. The rear bench seats three, with folding seatbacks split 60/40 for access to the trunk. Up front is a pair of high-back bucket seats clad in cloth fabric or optional leather. The design offers generous space for riders by extending the windshield forward to the firewall, increasing the length and width of the cabin, and abbreviating space for the engine. The Sebring coupe is built in a joint-venture assembly plant in Illinois that produces the Stratus and Eclipse coupes. Chrysler Sebring coupe shares engines, chassis, and suspension designs with the Dodge Stratus coupe and Mitsubishi Eclipse. In spite of the shared name, the Sebring coupe does not share its chassis, power trains, and engineering with the Sebring sedan and convertible.

Following the arching roofline, shapely back pillars slide down into the coupe’s rear flanks to form shoulders of the high tail, which bows over bold corner lamps and the thick mass of a monotone bumper.

Rolled side panels flare in rings around the wheel wells to draw attention to the large wheels, including optional seven-spoke chrome wheels. Above the bumper are ovoid multi-lens headlamps flanking a bulging hood. Up front, a broad oval grille features an egg-crate pattern and round foglamps. The windshield initiates a graceful arching profile that extends over sensuously shaped doors to merge thin rear roof pillars in a swoop to the high deck of a tail. Introduced for 2001, it’s a slick design that looks bold and dramatic.įluid lines flow over an oval format featuring a curt prow and exaggerated cabin clustered behind so much glass. The Sebring coupe is elegant in shape and style. Optional safety equipment includes ABS ($565) for Sebring LX, and ABS with Traction Control ($740) for Sebring LXi automatics.Īn option for the LXi is the Leather Interior Group ($1045), which includes leather seats, a six-way power driver’s seat, and a universal garage door opener. LXi also gets a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a premium sound system with cassette deck and CD player, and a compass and outside temperature display. LXi comes standard with four-wheel disc brakes (replacing the LX model’s rear drum brakes) and 17-inch aluminum wheels (instead of the LX’s 16-inch steel wheels).
#2002 CHRYSLER SEBRING LXI MANUAL#
The V6 mates either to the standard five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic ($825) with or without Chrysler’s AutoStick ($165). Sebring LXi ($21,710) comes with a 3.0-liter V6 rated at 200 horsepower. LX comes standard with air conditioning and power windows, mirrors and door locks. This single overhead-cam engine is rated at 142 horsepower. Sebring LX ($20,020) is powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Sebring coupe is available as two models: LX and LXi. This is a lot of sports coupe for $20,000, and a V6 engine is available for increased acceleration performance. The Sebring is a stylish sports coupe, yet there’s enough genuine legroom in the back seats for two adults. Chrysler’s Sebring coupe combines style, practicality, and sporty driving dynamics at an affordable price.
