The Sebring Coupe ST-22 carried forward the successful Mitsubishi partnership into the 2000s. Built in Normal, Illinois, on the third-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse platform, the ST-22 coupé shares virtually nothing under the skin with the Chrysler-engineered Sebring saloon or convertible. Instead, it offers genuine Japanese mechanical durability cloaked in dramatic, muscular coupé coachwork. Consistent Chrysler Sebring maintenance preserves the smooth refinement and punchy performance that make this unusual coupé so satisfying to drive.
Power is supplied by either a 2.4-litre four-cylinder or the robust 3.0-litre Mitsubishi 6G72 V6, paired with a five-speed manual or a four-speed Sportronic automatic transmission with manual sequential override. The 3.0-litre SOHC V6 relies on a rubber cambelt that demands strict renewal to safeguard its interference cylinder heads. On the road, the car combines broad torque delivery with long-legged gearing, making it a capable and relaxed long-distance cruiser.
