Chrysler Sebring 200C Sedan

. The 200C is Chrysler Sebring for sale in Spain since 2007, is completely new, not an upgrade from the previous Sebring. At launch will have a body (four doors). In July, approximately two versions Convertibles also be two doors, one with a rigid roof and a folding canvas roof.

Initially, the range of 200C Sebring (which is the name of this model in Spain, not in other countries) consists of a version with 140 hp diesel engine and a petrol 156 hp. The former is available with two levels of equipment, one basic and another called richest Limited, the gasoline is the only normal.

Traction is a saloon and a front length of 4.842 mm. Ie, is slightly larger than a Hyundai Sonata or a Chevrolet Epica (both 4.8 m). Its length is almost the same as that of a BMW 5 Series or a Volvo S80, but its range of engines and equipment for the car smaller and cheaper, like a Ford Mondeo or Opel Vectra.

The 200C Sebring Sedan 2.0 156 hp cost € 24,260. 2.0 CRD diesel version is priced at € 25,100 (€ 27,800 The Limited), intermediate between that cost models such as the Hyundai Sonata or Ford Mondeo and the Alfa Romeo 159 or the Honda Accord (price comparison chart, ordered from lowest to highest).

Both engines have four cylinders and 2.0 liters of displacement. I think the gasoline compared to diesel is not recommended because it spends more (although from what I saw in your presentation is moderate) and above all, because despite having 16 more hp will cost a lot to gain speed in gears long.

These engines are the same with the Dodge Caliber. Diesel comes from Volkswagen. The gasoline engine is manufactured by Global for some brands of DaimlerChrysler to Mitsubishi and Hyundai.

In late summer there will be another petrol engine with six-cylinder 2.7-liter displacement and automatic. In the U.S. comes with a range of different engines (2.4, 2.7 and 3.5 liters of displacement) and all gasoline.

With the previous Sebring, or the total body length (4.846 mm versus 4.842 mm the new) and width (1.791 mm versus 1.808 mm for the new) change significantly. What I changed is that the new body has a clearly higher, that is 104 mm higher than the previous one (1498 mm in total), which is a normal figure in the saloons of this size.

The battle grows from 2.743 to 2.765 mm. However, is characterized by rather short for the length of the vehicle (taking into account what is now normal). The penetration coefficient Cx of the body is 0.331, which is not a low.

The 200C Sedan Sebring out for the width available, mainly in the rear seat (although it is thought that only two people to occupy these seats). The trunk is wide, deep, not very high and irregular forms.

The equipment includes stability control, six airbags, monitoring tire pressure, warning of the use of seat belts and child restraint seats. It also has air conditioning, speed programmer, computer, auto dimming interior mirror, radio-cd mp3 compatible (auxiliary connection) and rims of 17 ".

The Limited also has leather upholstery with heated front seats, a holder for beverage chilled and heated (images 1 and 2), chrome exterior trim and handles and rims of 18 ".

Among the items of equipment that can be optionally there is a sunroof, a screen for the rear seats and a browser with touch screen 6.5 "with voice recognition to activate different functions and DVD player (which only works when the car stands). This browser is associated with a 20 GB hard drive which can store music (WMA), photos (JPEG), save voice messages and download MP3 files through a USB connection. You can also get connection "bluetooth 'for the phone.
