2006 Dodge Magnum Station Wagon

New Car Overview of the 2006 Dodge Magnum Station Wagon

Description: Station Wagon
Base MSRP: $22,430 - $37,320
Invoice Price: $20,857 - $34,693
Where built: Canada

The body of Magnum takes the shape of a station wagon, although the beltline is high with a long roof tapering at the rear and squeezing windows to narrow proportions. Front and rear overhangs are whittled way and the big wheels on front and back corners convey an impression of strength and high performance.

Three engines propel Magnum through three trims tagged as base SE, luxurious SXT and sporty R/T. Magnum SE has a dual-cam 2.7-liter V6 with 190 hp. Magnum SXT draws from a high-output 3.5-liter V6 for 250 hp. Magnum R/T scores Chrysler's 5.7-liter HEMI V8 that makes 340 hp through an electronic automatic five-speed transmission teamed with the AutoStick shifter. And the V8 has a MDS (multi-displacement system) that can switch seamlessly to fuel-saving four-cylinder mode.

A rear-wheel-drive (RWD) format is the norm for Magnum, but optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) traction works on SXT and R/T.
