For the 2008 model year, the Magnum received a facelift. It received extensive exterior and interior restyling. The 2008 Magnum is a 4-door, 5-passenger wagon, available in 6 trims, ranging from the Base to the SRT8. It is a full-size American station wagon with spacious cargo capacity.

“The Base is equipped with a standard 2.7 liter, V6, 190-horsepower engine that achieves 18-mpg in the city and 26-mpg on the highway. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The SRT8 is equipped with a standard 6.1-liter, V8, 425-horsepower engine that achieves 13-mpg in the city and 18-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.”

A redesigned hood, front fascia and new grille highlight the extensive changes on the new 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT8. The grille has been lowered and stretched horizontally to remove its truck resemblance. The headlamp units are a nice integrated wedge shape. It is available in exterior colors such as Bright Silver Metallic, Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat, Steel Blue Metallic Clear Coat and TorRed.

On the inside, it maintains its race-inspired environment. It also continues to feature power-adjustable, bolstered sport seats. It has an improved grip-enhancing carbon-fiber leather-trim steering wheel.  Its sport seats are very much effective in keeping backsides in place during aggressive cornering,

Benchmark braking is the main asset of SRT performance and design.
