2008 Dodge Magnum SXT wagon 5-door automatic

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.

The Dodge Magnum SXT are 17-inch alloy wheels, a 4-wheel Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), an emergency braking assist, and traction control. It has stability control, passenger airbag occupant-sensing deactivation, front fog/driving lights, and electronic brake-force distribution. The SXT has an eight-way power and height-adjustable driver seat, heated mirrors, height-adjustable pedals, an interior air filtration, and a Sirius satellite radio.

Highs: Rear seat room.
Lows: Visibility, braking, turning circle, modest cargo area.

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 doesn't shine in ride or handling. The rear seat is roomy, but visibility is compromised by the low roof, high dash, and thick roof pillars. 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'll 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 fast and furious.
