Our Review of the 1996 Chrysler Sebring JXi

Consumers who buy a Chrysler Sebring are often enthusiastic about their purchase. Since its launch the Sebring has been one of the workhorses of the Chrysler brand. This has always been a meaningful car, and the 1996 model is no different. A convertible for everyone in the family is what the Chrysler Sebring provides.

Chrysler Sebring Engine Specs

Chrysler Sebring Engine Specs: The Sebring JXi comes outfitted with a 2.5 liter, 6-cylinder motor that uses 24 valves. The engine, manufactured by Mitsubishi, is mated to a four-speed transaxle by Chrysler. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Chrysler.

The 1996 Sebring’s exceptional fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection style of design. The fuel capacity of the car is 16.00 gallons.

The Sebring uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The dimensions of the Sebring JXi are 70.10 inches wide by 193.00 inches long. It sits 54.80 inches off the ground. It seats a standard four passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 106.00 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $24,675 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Convertible.

There is a 50,000* mile, 60* month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000*/36* miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

Fuel Efficiency

The 1996 Sebring gets 28 miles/gallon on the highway and only 20 in the city. This is subpar for a convertible car.
