DESIGN

Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President – Design: “The Dodge Magnum’s bold exterior styling offers a new and exciting alternative for consumers who want a stylish and unique vehicle but who are unwilling to sacrifice everyday functionality. It’s a package with proportions unlike any other in the marketplace.

The head-turning exterior design of the Dodge Magnum features a bold front grille, long hood, “shooting brake” profile and strong, muscular cues.

The Dodge Magnum features a high beltline on the body, and a roofline that has been pulled down tautly around the windows, creating a unique proportion of body to glass – not unlike that found on hot rods and concept vehicles. The dramatic look is pure Dodge, with every element having a purpose.

The interior of the Magnum features a performance-oriented driver cockpit; a classic, no-nonsense, two-tone color treatment; and subtle Satin Silver accents. A 60-40 split-folding rear Seat adds to everyday functionality. The unique rear liftgate swings up instead of out to allow for opening in tight spaces, and provides an unusually large cargo opening for flexible, useful space.


ENGINEERING

Craig Love, Vice President – Rear-wheel drive Platform Team: “We are excited to bring the Road/Track Performance Group option to the Dodge Magnum lineup for 2007. Driving enthusiasts who desire the very best in sports-car-like ride and handling – wrapped in a boldly styled, versatile vehicle – get that with this package.”

The 2007 Dodge Magnum lineup features three engines, two transmissions, rear-wheel and all-wheel drive systems, and a variety of suspension tuning characteristics to provide a range of model choices.
The Dodge Magnum offers unmatched performance in its segment when equipped with the legendary 340-hp HEMI V-8 engine, which features a Multi-displacement System (MDS) that seamlessly turns off the fuel consumption in four cylinders when V-8 power is not needed, improving fuel economy as much as 20 percent.

Proven technologies, including Electronic Stability Program (ESP); all-speed traction control system (TCS); and four-wheel, anti-lock brake system (ABS), help control the rear-wheel-drive 2007 Dodge Magnum models and provide exceptional ride and handling.

The all-wheel-drive Dodge Magnum models offer excellent cornering balance under all driving conditions and improved traction in snow and wet-weather conditions.
