The Chrysler Sebring Stratus, produced from 2001 to 2006, was a mid-size sedan and convertible offered by the American automaker Chrysler. It represented a significant departure from its predecessor, the Plymouth Breeze, transitioning to a more modern and stylish design. The Sebring Stratus was built on the Chrysler LH platform, sharing its underpinnings with other popular models like the Dodge Stratus and Chrysler Concorde. This shared platform allowed for a spacious interior and comfortable ride, making it a popular choice for families and commuters alike. The sedan, which was also marketed as the Chrysler Stratus during this period, featured a well-rounded package of features, including a comfortable interior with ample passenger and cargo space, a smooth-riding suspension, and a range of engine options that catered to different performance and fuel economy needs. The convertible version, affectionately nicknamed the "Sebring," presented a unique blend of practicality and open-air driving enjoyment. It retained the sedan's spacious interior and comfortable ride but added the freedom of a retractable hardtop. The Sebring convertible offered several engine options, including a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a more powerful 2.7-liter V6, giving drivers a choice between fuel efficiency and spirited performance. Despite its success, the Sebring Stratus faced increasing competition from other mid-size sedans and convertibles in the early 2000s. The model was eventually replaced by the all-new 2007 Chrysler Sebring, which marked a significant styling update and a new generation of the nameplate. The legacy of the Sebring Stratus, however, remains embedded in the annals of Chrysler history, representing a period of modernization and innovation for the brand.
