More power and a new interior and exterior design
upgrades take the already "too cool to categorize" Chrysler PT Cruiser
Convertible to new heights in 2006. "The 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible
maintains its one-of-a-kind styling and flexibility," said Jeff Bell, Vice
President Chrysler. "For 2006, we've increased the horsepower, refined the
exterior and updated the interior to ensure that the Chrysler PT Convertible
continues to grow in the hot small specialty car segment." New for 2006,
the Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible gets updated front and rear fascias,
including a new front grille with the Chrysler winged badge and chrome accents,
new headlamps and fog lamps. The available high-output turbo engine gets
a power boost, with 230 horsepower and 245 lb.-ft. of torque, compared with
the previous 220 horsepower. The 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible also
gets an all-new interior, including new seat trim and fabrics. A new instrument
panel has a Satin Silver finish and features larger, more visible graphics,
new flush shutoff air vents and a Chrysler Signature analog clock. Also new
for 2006, the radio is mounted higher in the center stack, and a passenger
grab handle has been added to the right side of the instrument panel to make
it easier for passengers to get in and out of the vehicle. A new dampened
door opening provides increased capacity in the glove box. Front cup holders
on the GT model get bright accents.
Several updates to the 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser
Convertible also make this already quiet convertible even quieter. "We've
made many reductions in road and powertrain noise, which combine to create
an overall quieter driving experience," said Larry Lyons, Vice President,
Front-Wheel-Drive Product Team. New improvements to the sealing around the
heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, as well as added
insulation in the dashboard, reduce powertrain noise. With 84.3 cu. ft. of
space and 13.3 cu. ft. of pass-through luggage volume, the Chrysler PT Cruiser
Convertible maintains its leadership in the segment, offering more interior
cargo volume than its competitors. Seats may be configured in nine different
ways, including a position that creates a pass-through trunk opening. In
addition to its one-of-a-kind heritage PT Cruiser styling, the 2006 Chrysler
PT Cruiser Convertible boasts a power convertible soft top, 10 inches more
rear legroom than its competitors, storage space large enough to fit at least
two golf bags or similar lifestyle equipment, two available turbo engine
options and an exceptionally quiet ride. The Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible
is available in two models for 2006: Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible Touring
and Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible GT.
