2008 Dodge Magnum SXT AWD wagon 5-door automatic

The Magnum is Dodge’s sport wagon with bold, aggressive styling that shares a rear-wheel-drive platform with the Chrysler 300. The rear lift gate is hinged forward in the roof for easier access to the cargo area. Magnum R/T is powered by a modern version of the legendary HEMI V8 engine all-wheel drive is offered.

The 2008 Magnum is a 4-door, 5-passenger wagon, available in 6 trims, ranging from the Base to the SRT8.Upon introduction, the Base is equipped with a standard 2.7-liter, V6, 190-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 26-mpg on the highway. A 4-Speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The SRT8 is equipped with a standard 6.1-liter, V8, 425-horsepower engine that achieves 13-mpg in the city and 18-mpg on the highway. A 5-Speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The 2008 Magnum is freshened for 2008.

Highs: Extra cargo flexibility, sophisticated ride and handling.
Lows: Poor visibility, cave like back seat, thirsty on fuel.

The Magnum is a wagon version of the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger. The 3.5-liter V6 version we tested delivered good acceleration and 19 mpg overall. The 5.7-liter Hemi V8 shuts off four cylinders while cruising to conserve fuel, but our V8-powered Charger got only 17 mpg overall. The Magnum does not shine in ride or handling. The rear seat is roomy, but the low roof, high dash, and thick roof pillars compromise visibility. Traction and stability control are available, and optional AWD aids snow traction but at the expense of acceleration and fuel economy. Dodge will drop the Magnum in 2008.

According To KBB Editors'

Although you will find a number of moderately priced crossover SUVs on the market, the realm of the sport wagon has been the domain of the pricey European brands, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW. Has been, that is, until the entrance of the Dodge Magnum, a not-so-humble wagon with its roots firmly planted in the muscle-car era. With its five-passenger seating, large cargo hold and optional all-wheel drive, the Magnum can do just about anything a similarly-size SUV can do, plus deliver the acceleration and handling of a pure-bred sport sedan. The Magnum comes in a number of flavors ranging from affordable and fun to intense.
