Chrysler Aspen
What It Is
Chrysler finally has something to squeeze into the lucrative world of Cadillac and Lincoln full-size SUVs.
What You Should Know
Plush carpet and leather choices. Probably one of the best-looking luxury SUV interiors around. We especially like the Chrysler hood lines. One cool interior detail is that much of the lighting is LED.
Bottom Line
Not really a viable full-size or luxury choice, but will be a good alternative to the much more expensive segment leaders.
