Chrysler Aspen

The Chrysler Aspen is a full-size sport utility vehicle from Chrysler. Launched for the 2007 model year, it is a rebranded Dodge Durango SUV. The Aspen name was previously used by Dodge (on a twin of the Plymouth Volaré) from 1976 to 1980.

The Aspen is Chrysler's first SUV, although the PT Cruiser was the first truck-based Chrysler brand vehicle in terms of CAFE fuel economy standards. With the introduction in 2006, it marked all American brands having an SUV in their range.

On October 23, 2008, Chrysler announced that the shutdown of the Newark Assembly producing the Durango and Aspen would be moved up to the end of 2008, ending production of the Aspen and Aspen Hybrid for the 2009 model year. Production ceased on December 19, 2008. It is unknown whether the Aspen will return or not.
