The 2004 Chrysler Stratus Sebring, a compact car that bridged the gap between the Chrysler Cirrus and the Chrysler Concorde, marked the culmination of the second-generation Stratus model. This iteration, launched in 2001, saw a significant design overhaul, departing from the previous generation's more angular styling for a more rounded and flowing aesthetic. It was offered in both coupe and sedan body styles, catering to a diverse range of buyer preferences. Under the hood, the Sebring boasted a variety of powertrain options, including a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, a 2.7-liter V6, and a 3.5-liter V6, all mated to either a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transmission. While the four-cylinder engine provided fuel efficiency, the V6 engines offered a more spirited driving experience. The 2004 model year saw the introduction of the SRT-4 variant, a performance-oriented version powered by a turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that delivered impressive power and handling.
The 2004 Chrysler Stratus Sebring was known for its comfortable interior, spacious cabin, and a host of features, including standard air conditioning, power windows and locks, and an AM/FM stereo system. Higher trims offered additional amenities such as leather upholstery, a sunroof, and a premium sound system. Safety was a priority, with standard features such as anti-lock brakes (ABS), front airbags, and optional side airbags available. While the Stratus Sebring wasn't a standout in terms of handling or performance, it provided reliable transportation and a comfortable driving experience. However, it faced stiff competition from other compact cars in the market, and its fuel efficiency was criticized by some. The 2004 Chrysler Stratus Sebring marked the end of an era for the model, as it was replaced by the all-new Dodge Avenger and Chrysler Sebring in the 2007 model year.
