New for 1999: The 1999 Sebring convertible adds a new Limited package that includes unique alloy wheels and interior appointments. Select coupes are available with matching body-color mirrors and wheels.

History: Though they share the name, the Chrysler Sebring coupe and convertible are two very distinct automobiles. The coupe, first introduced in 1995, is sporty and stylish but has a back seat big enough for two adults. It is built on a variant of the Mitsubishi Eclipse platform. In 1997 the coupe received a minor face-lift that included the front and rear fascias, a new grille and new body-side cladding. The Sebring convertible, on the other hand, is built on a unique platform developed from the outset to be a convertible, with stiffness and reduced cowl shake in mind. Introduced in the spring of 1996, the Sebring is America's best-selling convertible.

Trim Details: The 1999 Chrysler Sebring is available in four trims: LX and LXi coupes, JX and JXi convertibles. Safety features include dual airbags, an anti-lock brake system (ABS) (optional on coupes) and optional traction control (JXi only). The LX features a standard 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, while the JX get a 150-horsepower 2.4-liter engine as its standard power plant. A 2.5-liter V6 engine powers the both the JXi and LXi, which is optional for all other trims. Standard equipment includes fog lights, a rear window defroster, air conditioning, variable intermittent wipers, cupholders and courtesy lights. The JX adds power windows and door locks, while the LXi and JXi upgrade with a remote keyless entry system, power mirrors, and a theft-deterrent system. The JX and JXi feature a power top with a glass rear window.
