Exclusive: 2007 Chrysler Sebring Revealed

Chrysler is preparing a full redesign of its midsize Sebring sedan for model-year 2007, with all-new sheet metal and a completely revamped cabin.

Antoine Guilbaud/Hidden Image has struck again! The spy photographers have caught the new Chrysler Sebring sedan as it tooled out and about in metro Detroit for testing.

The next-generation Sebring, which goes into production this fall, will be built on a new platform and reportedly will share some underbody components with several Mitsubishi vehicles, including the new Outlander and Lancer.

The sedan, set up with the I-4 world engine offered in the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass, will come with an optional V6 engine.

The base Sebring this fall is expected to share the new global four-cylinder engines from the upcoming Jeep Compass and Dodge Caliber, with an optional V6 also available.

Chrysler is dropping the Sebring coupe but will introduce a redesigned Sebring convertible in spring 2007, using many of the same chassis and driveline components from the new Sebring sedan.

The vehicle will go on sale later this year as a 2007 model.

Never competitive with Honda and Toyota, Chrysler hopes the next-generation Sebring sedan will finally give it more muscle in the midsize segment.
