2008 Dodge Magnum Overview

Introduction

The Dodge Magnum is a full-size American station wagon with spacious cargo capacity, set apart by its hot rod styling, powerful engine, and exceptional versatility.

The Dodge Magnum is available in four models: Base, SXT, R/T, and SRT8. The rear-wheel drive Base model uses Chrysler's proven 2.7-liter aluminum V6 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.

The SXT comes with a 3.5-liter single overhead cam V6 and a five-speed automatic with AutoStick and the option of all-wheel drive. The R/T gets the 5.7-liter V8 Hemi with MDS, which can shut off half its cylinders to conserve gas, and a five-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick and the option of all-wheel drive. The SRT8 features the 6.1-liter V8 Hemi and a five-speed AutoStick automatic. Brake assist and antilock brakes are standard.

For 2008, the Magnum receives extensive exterior and interior restyling.
