Magnum's menacing persona is no illusion. We matched its bold, aggressive demeanor with unparalleled performance and a driving experience like no other. Getting from point A to point B has suddenly become an event.

Engine

Magnum R/T's 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine with the Multi-Displacement System (MDS) is a pure stroke of genius. By switching from eight cylinders to four during cruising and light acceleration, MDS improves fuel economy from 5 to 20 percent, depending on driving habits.

Magnum gives you a choice of three awe-inspiring engines: Magnum SE's 2.7-liter V6, Magnum SXT's high-output 3.5-liter V6, and, for the Magnum R/T, a 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 with the Multi-Displacement System (MDS). Boasting horsepower and torque ratings that most vehicles envy, all three deliver heart-stopping acceleration.

Transmission

Both Magnum SE and SXT rear-wheel drive models feature a standard four-speed automatic transmission. Taking it up a notch, a five-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick® comes standard on SXT all-wheel drive and RT rear- and all-wheel-drive models.

Towing

Magnum R/T, when equipped with the Trailer Tow Group, can tow trailers up to 3,800 pounds. Without the Trailer Tow Group, Magnum delivers up to 2,000 pounds of towing capacity when powered by the 3.5- or 5.7-liter engine. Magnum SE's 2.7-liter engine can tow up to 1,000 lbs.

Maintaining a proper ride height is critical while towing or carrying heavy loads. R/T models with the Trailer Tow Group feature a self-leveling rear suspension that adjusts automatically to ensure a constant ride height, no matter what kind of load you're carrying. (Also available on SXT rear-wheel- and all-wheel-drive models.)

Handling

Power should never be more than you can handle, even when it comes from Magnum's 5.7-liter HEMI® V8. To keep all that power under control, Magnum provides all the handling you need. Performance and versatility—power and handling. Dodge Magnum gives you what you want, and what you need.

Magnum marks the return of powerful rear-wheel drive performance to the Dodge line. Rear-wheel drive gives better traction for acceleration with high-performance engines, a near-50/50 weight distribution enhances vehicle balance, and a longer wheelbase means a smoother ride with even more interior room.

Introducing a new spin on performance with less spin at the wheels. Magnum SXT and R/T feature an available all-wheel-drive system that greatly improves traction. A front differential and transfer case added to the standard rear-wheel-drive layout deliver a 38/62 percent torque split between the front and rear wheels for the performance of rear-wheel-drive handling with the security of all-wheel-drive traction.

The available all-speed traction control operates both the brakes and the electronic throttle control (ETC), enhancing mobility and directional stability while preventing excessive wheel slip when accelerating on slippery surfaces.

The available advanced electronic stability program (ESP)* helps maintain stability by monitoring such factors as steering angle, turning rate, and lateral acceleration to determine vehicle behavior. Once the system determines that vehicle behavior differs from the driver's intended course, ESP will do whatever can be done, within the limits of available traction, to keep the car on course. The brake assist feature can detect a driver's intended panic stop and apply optimum brake pressure to help achieve minimum stopping distances.

A short- and long-arm (SLA) front suspension and five-link independent rear suspension system maintain independent control of each wheel for excellent handling. An advanced suspension mounting system dramatically reduces road noise inside the passenger compartment. What this means to you is a smooth ride that is also quiet.
