2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid Preview– 2007 Los Angeles Auto Show: Except for some mild tweaks to improve windflow, this is just a hybridized version of the Aspen you’ve already met. The Auburn Hills manufacturer is utilizing the two-mode hybrid system developed in partnership with General Motors, Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and finally getting into the hybrid game. Following in the footsteps of GM’s Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon hybrids, the Pentastar automaker chose to introduce the new hybrid system in its large SUV as well as in its Dodge stable mate the Durango. So what we’re really previewing here is the hybrid system and what they mean to large SUVs.
