The 2008 Chrysler Aspen is a full-size SUV that was produced from 2006 to 2009. It was based on the Dodge Durango and was offered in both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations. The Aspen was powered by a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine that produced 335 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque. It was available in three trim levels: LX, Limited, and Overland. The Aspen was a popular choice for families and those who needed a vehicle with plenty of space and towing capacity. However, the Aspen was also criticized for its poor fuel economy and lack of refinement. It was discontinued in 2009 due to declining sales.

Power

The 2008 Chrysler Aspen was offered with two engine options: a 4.7-liter V8 and a 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The 4.7-liter V8 produced 235 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque, while the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 produced 335 horsepower and 370 lb-ft of torque. Both engines were paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. The Aspen's performance was adequate, but not exceptional. The 4.7-liter V8 provided enough power for most driving situations, but the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 was a better choice for towing or hauling heavy loads. The five-speed automatic transmission was smooth and responsive, but it did not offer the same level of performance as some of the newer six- and eight-speed transmissions.

Interior Comfort and Cargo

The 2008 Chrysler Aspen offers a roomy and comfortable interior. The cabin is spacious, with plenty of legroom, headroom, and shoulder room for all occupants. The seats are supportive and comfortable, even on long road trips. The dash is well-laid out and easy to use, with large, clear gauges and controls. Comfort was a priority in designing the Aspen's interior. The front seats are heated and cooled, and the driver's seat has memory settings. The second row of seats is also heated, and all three rows of seats are available with leather upholstery. The cabin is also well-insulated, so it's quiet and comfortable on the road. The Aspen offers plenty of cargo space, with 17.1 cubic feet of space behind the third row of seats, 49.1 cubic feet with the third row folded down, and 72.8 cubic feet with both the second and third rows folded down. The cargo area is accessed through a large, liftover tailgate, and there are several cargo tie-downs to help secure your belongings.
