2008 Chrysler Aspen Review

The 2008 Chrysler Aspen is a SUV that owners are giving great reviews to. This 4-door, fun-driving sporty vehicle comes in two trims, both offering the reliable power of a 4.7L 303hp V8 engine that yields 330 lb-ft of ready torque. One of the most stand-out features is that its average price tag is $12,000 less than those of every other vehicle in its class. It also smashes the competition when it comes to towing, offering the ability to pull 8950 lbs as compared to the competition's average rating of 7843.53 lbs. It does however suffer in the cargo volume area offering only 19 cubic feet of space compared to 33.54 for its competitors. Both trims offer seating for 8 and the passenger volume of 155.1 cubic feet outdoes the others at an averaged 132.02 cubic feet.

An AM/FM, single CD and mp3 player comes stock in both trims of this Chrysler Aspen. There are new safety features included like the rear-view camera and a system that constantly monitors your tire pressure. An unlimited month and mile powertrain comes stock on both trims and the 5-speed automatic overdrive transmission is solid and dependable. The Limited 4x2 trim has an MSRP of $32,425 while the Limited 4x4 trim weighs in at $35,300. These are very impressive figures for this class of vehicle and the fact that owner ratings are super-high makes it even more appealing.

As far as comfort and convenience goes, both trims of this 2008 Chrysler come stock with air conditioning and power everything. Driver, side and passenger airbags are also stock in both trims as are stability control systems and ABS braking systems. Traction control systems are not available. Sunroofs are available by option and a factory-installed navigational system is but a checkmark away. As for fuel mileage, the 2008 Aspen is about average offering 13.5/19 city/highway mpg for the 4x2 and 13/17.5 city/highway for the 4x4. Leather seats are also available by option in both trims.

In both trims the front headroom ratings are at 40.80 inches and rear headroom measures 39.30 in. Front legroom is 41.40 in. and rear legroom is 37.40 in. Optional driver/front passenger climate controls are available. Standard features also include cruise control, tachometer, tilt steering, leather steering wheel, steering wheel-mounted controls, telescopic steering wheel, trip computer and driver multi-adjustable power seats. Optional features are many and impressive. You should definitely consider the 2008 Chrysler Aspen if you are in the market for a new SUV. Even after adding several impressive optional features, your price tag will still be looking up at the competition's.
