Dodge Wagons

The 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum models were the last Dodge station wagons sold in the USA. The Magnum was essentially a wagon version of the previous-generation Charger sedan and was on the market at a time when it was thought station wagons still had a future in the US. These Dodge wagons were a tempting proposition in the segment, bringing genuine Dodge muscle-car thrills to the wagon market, especially in the shape of the SRT8 flagship with its big 6.1-liter HEMI V8.

The Dodge Wagon Range

The Dodge Magnum was a vehicle with a short shelf life and after peaking at over 50,000 unit sales in the US in 2005, sales never recovered and the model was discontinued in 2009. In its place, the wagon body style continued but the format was changed to more popular raised-body SUVs in the form of the Journey and Durango.

There was only a single range of Dodge wagons available up to that point, the Magnum:

• Dodge Magnum: There was an entire range of Magnums with both V6 and V8 power and with both RWD and AWD available. The Magnum was noted for its striking and characterful appearance, potent engine options, dynamic suspension tuning, and direct steering. However, there were many blind spots to the rear that made it difficult to see out of and the rear seat was rather tight, which somewhat diluted the practicality of the station wagon offering.

Currently there are no new Dodge wagons for sale in the USA but you will easily be able to find a used Dodge wagon in the pre-owned market in a variety of trims.

• Varied engine range
• AWD available
• High-performance R/T and SRT8 versions

Cons

• Poor reliability of base engine
• Poor rearward visibility
• Tight rear seat
• Low ground clearance
