What is miles per pound?

Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 31 - 45 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

With a service required every 9,000 miles for the diesel version, the Sebring falls a long way short of the 30,000 miles a Vauxhall Vectra will cover before it needs attention. It also needs more frequent servicing than the Avensis or Mondeo, so maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average. Insurance groups are pretty low and fuel consumption on the diesel is fairly typical of cars in this sector.

However depreciation will be heavy – expect a three-year-old Sebring to be worth less than 30% of its original cost.

The most popular Sebring model is the diesel – and it is also the greenest. The Volkswagen-sourced engine emits 170g/km of CO2 and returns 46mpg.

Since it shares many of its components with other Chrysler Group products and has a trusty VW diesel engine under its bonnet, the Sebring is expected to offer decent reliability.
