2005- 2008 Dodge Magnum
The Dodge Intrepid was disconinuted after the 2004 model year, replaced by the all new reardrive, V-8 powered Dodge Magnum and Charger. The Magnum and Charger share the same drivetrain and platform. The 2005 Dodge Magnum SXT model was made available fall 2004 to law enforcement agencies for special service use. For 2006, Dodge introduced a full police package Dodge Magnum, as well as the Charger. The 2006 Dodge Magnum had a standard 3.5L high output V-6 engine featured on the 2006 Dodge Magnum police package vehicle delivers 250 horsepower and 250 lb-ft. of torque. A five-speed fully electronic transmission with steering column shifter, 18-inch V-rated tires and steel wheels, heavy-duty police brakes and linings, and heavy-duty suspension will be included as standard equipment with the police package models. For greater pursuit power, the Dodge Magnum police package also will offer an optional 5.7L HEMI V-8 engine with cylinder deactivation that produces 340 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. Chrysler Group's multiple displacement system (MDS) seamlessly alternates between high fuel economy, four-cylinder mode when less power is needed and V-8 mode when more power is demanded. Fuel efficiency is improved by up to 20 percent with cylinder deactivation, but not at the expense of performance. The HEMI powertrain, mated to a fully electronic five-speed automatic transmission and high-performance suspension, will give officers in pursuit situations a balance of performance, power, and handling. The 2006 Dodge Magnum police package included the following specific package items: certified speedometer, column shifter, emergency rear door lock override, heavy-duty five-link suspension system, heavy-duty alternator, battery, and brakes, inoperable rear door locks and rear windows, and special police electrical wiring. Optional equipment includes: daytime running lamps, dual spot lamp, police-type heavy-duty front seats with manual lumbar adjustment, and full-size spare tire. The Magnum was updated in 2008 with new front end styles, but was discontuned later that year, with no replacement in Dodge's line up. |
