Honda Fit, Honda Insight, Toyota Prius and Chrysler Aspen Hybrid…….what do all these cars have in common?
Well, they are cars designed to look good, have good performances and be “green”, all at the same time.
The Aspen Hybrid is Chrysler’s first hybrid model even though the hybrid car has appeared on the market over 10 years ago.
The Chrysler Aspen Hybrid can be considered a family car, due to its eight passenger seats but it is also a quite powerful SUV, offering 335 horsepower. Its estimated mile/gallon ratio is of 19-20/gallon. This SUV has a towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds and a navigation system which will detect any change in the level of power needed and will automatically switch off some of the engine’s cylinders.
As for the design, Chrysler has chosen not to differentiate the hybrid model from the standard one: on both models the 300 volt battery is located under the second row seats and the only optional features are a DVD entertainment system, a sunroof and a towing package. The standard model comes equipped with a parking assistant, leather seats, traction and navigation control.
