A stylish performance wagon, the 2008 Dodge Magnum comes as a rear-wheel drive unless you order the all-whhel drive option.
The 2007 Dodge Magnum is comfortable and powerful, but it's also fairly fuel efficient, especially for a wagon, with the base model offering 17mpg city/25 highway, and the R/T equipped with an engine that allows up to 30mpg.
The name Dodge Magnum has been attached to several vehicles over the years. In 1978 and 1979, it was used as the model name for a coupe being marketed in the U.S. Also, Brazilian consumers could buy a Magnum, which was really a Dodge Dart, between 1979 and 1981. The Magnum name was also attached to a K car being marketed in Mexico starting in 1983 and ending in 1990.
The most recent incarnation is a station wagon that was first offered in 2004 (2005 model year). It is the first vehicle to be introduced to the market using the Chrysler LX platform.
The Dodge Magnum offered in the late '70s in North America was a replacement for the Charger SE. It was available in two different trim packages: the XE and the GT. This version of the Magnum was driven by Richard Petty for Nascar and featured power steering and brakes, along with rectangular headlights. A power sunroof was available as an optional feature.
Fast forward to 2004 when the Magnum was once again offered to North American car buyers. This version was a station wagon built on the Chrysler LX platform, built in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. The 2004 Magnum was the first station wagon offered by the Company since the Colt wagon went out of production in 1991. Four options were available for the 2004 Magnum: 2.7 V6 (190 hp), 2.5L VT (250 hp), 5.7L V8 (340 hp), and a 6.1L Hemi (425 hp).
The Magnum was on the Ten Best list published by Car and Driver for 2005. Sales were sluggish in comparison with the Dodge Intrepid, although it may not be fair to compare a wagon to a sedan.
The Magnum was given a facelift for 2008. The interior was modernized to look very similar to the Dodge Charger. Other changes included squared-off headlights on the front fascia and a smaller grille. The 2008 model was powered by a 3.5L, 250 hp engine. Again, these changes were designed to look very similar to the Charger. Consumers who bought the Magnum could expect to get 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg for highway driving.
The Dodge Magnum was discontinued after the 2008 model year. The company announced that the decision was made as part of an overall restructuring plan. The last Magnum was produced in the latter part of March, 2008 and put on the market with a MSRP of $24,120.
