In Europe, the Dodge Magnum was marketed by DaimlerChrysler as Chrysler 300C touring . It is offered in the following displacement variants:

• SE : 2.7 Liters with 140 kW / 190 hp

• R / T : 5.7 Liter HEMI with 250 kW / 340 hp
• SRT8 : 6.1 litres HEMI with 313 kW / 425 hp

There are the versions SXT and R / T since 2005 also with all-wheel drive (and optionally with four-speed or five-speed gearbox). For the model year 2008, the Magnum received a facelift.

 Next the big guns with the HEMI engines. The R/T version offers 340 horsepower, a 100 km/h start stopped in less than 6.5 seconds, and a mechanical symphony that makes you shiver of pleasure every acceleration. Fitted with system for disabling cylinders in the HEMI V8 of 5.7 litres, which allows the Magnum to run on four Cylinders cruising speed on the road, authorizing a better Fuel economy of approximately 10%.  Chassis and suspension are well calibrated.
