The Chrysler Aspen was a short-lived luxury SUV sold from 2007 to 2009. As Chrysler's first-ever truck-based SUV, it shared its platform with the second-generation Dodge Durango but featured more upscale styling, a quieter interior, and more standard features. Buyers could choose between a 4.7L V8 or the more powerful 5.7L Hemi V8. Its production was cut short by high fuel prices and the 2008 financial crisis, making it a relatively rare sight on the road.
For its final year in 2009, Chrysler introduced a Hemi-powered Hybrid model that it co-developed with GM, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. This version is exceptionally rare and represents the most collectible variant of the Aspen. The market for these SUVs is small and primarily driven by utility rather than collectibility. Still, its status as a historical footnote and the scarcity of clean, low-mileage examples or Hybrid models give it a niche appeal for enthusiasts looking for a unique and capable family vehicle.
Buying Tips
- The 5.7L Hemi V8 can suffer from camshaft and lifter failure, often presenting as a distinct ticking sound. Listen carefully during a cold start.
- On the extremely rare 2009 Hybrid, have the battery and hybrid drive components inspected by a specialist. Repairs can be costly and parts are difficult to find.
- Check for rust on the frame rails, rocker panels, and behind the plastic fender flares, especially on vehicles from northern climates.
- Test all interior electronics, including the MyGIG infotainment system, power liftgate, and heated seats, as diagnosing and fixing electrical issues can be time-consuming.
Based on recent sales, prices range from around $3,000 for well-used examples to over $16,000 for top-spec, low-mileage models.
