New 2009 HEMI Hybrids from Chrysler

Chrysler enters the Hybrid vehicle business in a big way – announcing their first 4x4 SUV Hybrid vehicles, the 2009 Chrysler Aspen HEMI Hybrid and the 2009 Dodge Durango HEMI Hybrid – priced nearly $8,000 below the competition.

The MSRP for the new 2009 Dodge Durango HEMI Hybrid is $45,340 (including $800 destination fees). The MSRP for the new 2009 Chrysler Aspen HEMI Hybrid is $45,570 (including $800 destination fees). Also, customers are expected to receive an estimated tax credit of $1,800.

Both vehicles use Chrysler's fuel-saving MDS technology which allows the engine to alternate between four-cylinder mode when less power is needed and V-8 mode when more power is in demand. Because of this, both new vehicles offer fuel economy up to 20 miles per gallon - that’s an improvement of 40% in the city and 25% overall.
