What was the last Dodge Magnum?
The last Dodge Magnum was the 2008 model year, marking the end of a distinctive era for Dodge's wagon lineup. Production wrapped up in 2008, with the Brampton Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada, delivering the final examples before the model was retired. Today, the Magnum remains a notable collector's item among fans of unusual, practical performance cars.
Timeline and main variants
Here are the main variants that Dodge offered during the Magnum's four-year run (2005–2008).
- Base SE/SXT wagon — entry-level configuration with the standard V6 powertrain
- RT — performance-oriented trim with upgraded suspension and features
