2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid Overview
If you’re looking for a stylish, rugged and environmentally conscious SUV that can seat eight, you’ll want to check out the all-new 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid. Although it is often compared to the Dodge Durango Hybrid and the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid, the Aspen Hybrid has a look and feel all its own.
The Aspen uses a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 that cuts off half the engine cylinders in low speeds. The driver can also control whether to run the SUV on electricity at low speeds or gas for anything higher than 25 mph. Available modes include Economy and Performance. When the driver switches from one to another, passengers are able feel and hear the gas engine powering either on or off.
Compared to its non-hybrid version, the Chrysler Aspen Hybrid gets terrific gas mileage. The Aspen Hybrid gets about around 19 MPG, while the non-hybrid version of the car only can only muster 13 MPG. Both numbers are sure to dip a bit if either SUV is towing its maximum amount of 6,000 pounds.
This mid-size SUV comes in two body styles, the Limited and Limited HEV. The Limited's $45000 price includes leather seats, a backup camera and its own entertainment center accessible by the whole family. Pricing for the model is on par with other competitors in its class including the Chevrolet Tahoe, the GMC Yukon and of course the Dodge Durango Hybrid.
Safety features abound in the 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid. From front and side curtain airbags to the standard remote keyless entry with panic alarm, the people at Chrysler care about your safety.
Luxury features on the SUV include power seats, pedals and mirrors. The Aspen Hybrid is available in two wheel or four wheel drive and the heated seats will provide a warm refuge from the cool air. Other luxury options include a voice activated navigation system, power sunroof, MP3 player, Alpine® sound system and DVD player.
For those looking for the ruggedness of an off-road vehicle without leaving the footprint of a lumberjack, the 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid is the car for you.
