In addition to the enhanced performance and handling available with the Dodge Magnum, the spacious interior will provide officers a balance of cargo room and flexibility. 

With 27.2 cubic feet behind the rear seat (71.6 cubic feet with rear seats folded flat), the Dodge Magnum offers maximum functionality for law enforcement needs.  The rear cargo area features an upper flat-load floor that expands the usable cargo area when the rear seats are folded forward.  Additional storage is provided for smaller items below this load floor and in deep pockets on either side of the floor.

The Dodge Magnum's "extreme access" liftgate creates an unusually large cargo opening by allowing the gate to swing up rather than out from the vehicle. The 11.3 square foot opening swallows large items such as police emergency equipment, duffel bags, dog crates, traffic cones or barricades.   

The 2005 Dodge Magnum SXT model will be available later this year to law enforcement agencies for special service use.  For 2006, Dodge will introduce a police package, which will be offered on the Dodge Magnum model.  

The 2005 Dodge Magnum SXT features a 3.5-litre V-6 engine that provides high power and torque over the entire operating band for the perfect blend of performance and economy.   Combined with standard advanced technologies, flexible and functional cargo space and state-of-the-industry safety features, the Dodge Magnum SXT provides a bold, powerful and capable entry into the law enforcement Special Services car market.

Like all Dodge Magnum vehicles, the 2005 Dodge Magnum SXT for special service use will be manufactured at the Brampton Assembly Plant in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, and will be available to county, city and state police departments in the third quarter of 2004. 

The 2006 Dodge Magnum will be available with a police package in the fourth quarter of 2005. 

The standard 3.5-litre High Output V-6 engine featured on the 2006 Dodge Magnum police package vehicle delivers 250 horsepower and 250 lb-ft. of torque for great police performance. 

A five-speed fully electronic transmission with steering column shifter, 18-inch V-rated tyres and steel wheels, heavy-duty police brakes and linings and heavy-duty suspension will be included as standard equipment with the police package models.  

For the ultimate in pursuit power, the Dodge Magnum police package also will offer an optional 5.7-lieer HEMI V-8 engine with cylinder deactivation that produces 340 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque.  Chrysler Group's Multiple Displacement System (MDS) seamlessly alternates between smooth, high fuel economy four-cylinder mode when less power is needed and V-8 mode when more power is in demand.  Fuel efficiency is improved by up to 20 percent with cylinder deactivation, but not at the expense of performance.

The HEMI powertrain, mated to a fully electronic five-speed automatic transmission and high-performance suspension, will give officers in pursuit situations a balance of world-class performance, power and handling.

The 2006 Dodge Magnum police package will include the following specific package items:  certified speedometer, column shifter, emergency rear door lock override, heavy-duty five-link suspension system, heavy-duty alternator, heavy-duty battery, heavy-duty brakes, inoperable rear door locks and rear windows, and special police electrical wiring.

Optional equipment includes: daytime running lamps, dual spot lamp, police-type heavy-duty front seats with manual lumbar adjustment and full-size spare tyre.

The 2006 Dodge Magnum police package will begin production in the fourth quarter of 2005.
