2009 Chrysler Aspen has a chassis of truck-base, and fails to make its way to the league of luxury class full size SUVs.
What’s New for 2009?
It has a so-so fuel economy of 15 mpg. The passenger space in the 2009 Aspen is pretty less when compared to a large crossover vehicle. It looks like a single Neanderthal that is surrounded by good looking humans.
Essentially Chrysler Aspen is a revamped version of Dodge Durango loaded with many feature and more chrome. It means that with minor changes in framework of the body of the vehicle, you get the same old poor interiors, and a four wheel drive (and optional rear wheel drive).
2009 Chrysler Aspen vs Other Large Size SUVs
Chrysler Aspen is bigger than the Ford Explorer and smaller than the GMC Yukon; but it doesn’t even come anywhere closer to either of them in terms of technological features, luxurious amenities, headroom, and interiors.
The mediocre construction gives the tumble and rough ride and puts on more curb weight, requiring the engines to suck more fuel, resulting in average fuel economy.
2009 Chrysler Aspen Performance
One among the impressive features of Chrysler Aspen is that it has an optional Hemi engine to deliver more power of about 376 hp. The noteworthy feature of the 5.6 liter V8 engine is the cylinder deactivation technology that helps in considerable boost in fuel economy, and that’s the only good thing that has been praised in most of the 2009 Chrysler Aspen reviews.
