Chrysler Group's vaunted Hemi engine is seeing greater take rates across the board than the OEM anticipated.
Chrysler says penetration of the Hemi Magnum 5.7L OHV V-8 is “north of 50%” of total deliveries for the Dodge Durango SUV and light-duty Ram pickup.
And advance orders of the LX platform large rear-wheel-drive cars — the Chrysler 300C and Dodge Magnum — are leaning heavily in favor of the Hemi, which in this iteration comes with a cylinder-deactivation system.
