Durango/Aspen 3rd Row SUV hybrids in 2008

We’ve been hearing about the Dodge Durango hybrid for how many years now? Word is out. The two-mode hybrid system vehicle, and another – the Dodge Aspen – will hit showrooms in mid-2008.

Both are 4-wheel drive with 3rd rows, seating 8 with leather upholstery, heated seats, navigation that shows the vehicles’ inner components hard work. Pairing 385 horsepower, with the ability to tow up to 8,950 lbs AND operate in electric-only mode for stretches at low-speed combine for an estimated 18 mpg city/ 19 mpg highway fuel efficiency.

I haven’t seen any numbers yet, but I’m guessing comparable or slightly more than the Toyota Highlander hybrid. High 30’s-40’s.
