The 2009 Chrysler Sebring, a part of the model's third generation, is a mid-size sedan offered in three trim levels: LX, Touring, and the sportier Limited. The base-level LX features a 2.4-liter four cylinder producing 173 horsepower, connected to a four-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The Limited trim offers an optional 3.5-liter V6, boasting 235 horsepower through a six-speed automatic. Standard equipment for 2009 included front side-impact airbags, antilock brakes and a tire-pressure monitor. Its signature features were its sleek styling and, on the convertible models, optional hardtop. Standout features included an available Boston Acoustics sound system and Chrysler's UConnect multimedia suite. However, critics indicated that this model lacked the performance and interior comfort of competitors in its class.
