The Chrysler Aspen hybrid combined with the very similar Dodge Durango hybrid form the first generation Chrysler hybrids. When compared to the styling of the Dodge Durango hybrid, the Aspen hybrid has premium amenities and elegant styling; but when you make a comparison with similar luxury-class SUVs of its class, Chrysler Aspen hybrid doesn’t even come in the top 20!
Standard Offerings in Chrysler Aspen Hybrid

Coming to the standard amenities, instrument-panel stack, and wood-accented door panes, eight-way power driver seat, leather-trimmed bucket seats, 60/40 third-row bench seat, and heated seats, comfortable seating for eight passengers mark the noteworthy offerings in the Chrysler Aspen hybrid.
Enhanced Fuel Mileage and Good Power Management
Similar to the many hybrid vehicles, the Chrysler Aspen hybrid provides a secondary power source that supplements the main power flow. The power management system helps the driver in understanding whether power is coming from battery, engine, or both. When drivers cannot be fully attentive to the system, tangential monitoring can assist the drivers, and help in improving the fuel economy too.
Providing an entire 25 percent upgrade in fuel efficiency, the Chrysler Aspen hybrid attains about 19 mpg in city and 20 mpg on the highway with its two-mode, hemi-powered, electronically regulated variable transmission.
As a Whole
The 5.7-liter engine produces 385 horsepower, and comes with the Multiple Displacement System (MDS) that helps dual mode hybrid technology of the Chrysler to gain a good leap over the current hybrid technology; but the vehicle miserably fails to meet the expectations of potential customers in interior department.
