Dodge Magnum wagon comes in four trim levels: base SE, midgrade SXT, V8-powered R/T and maximum-performance SRT8. The base Magnum SE starts off with 17-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, fully powered accessories, a telescoping steering wheel and CD/MP3 player with an auxiliary audio jack. The SXT features a more powerful V6, 17-inch alloy wheels (18s for all-wheel-drive versions), a power driver seat and satellite radio. The sportier R/T adds a V8, 18-inch alloy wheels, firmer suspension tuning, leather upholstery, upgraded audio and heated front seats. The high-performance SRT8 is equipped much like the R/T, but has a much bigger V8 engine, 20-inch alloy wheels, upgraded Brembo brakes, sport-tuned suspension and steering, unique interior and exterior detailing, leather/suede upholstery and a power front passenger seat.

Four-wheel disc brakes are standard on all Magnum models, and antilock brakes, traction control, stability control and power-adjustable pedals are optional on the base SE and standard on all other Magnums. The SRT8 is also equipped with full-length side curtain airbags, which are optional on the others. Self-sealing tires are available on all except the SRT8. In government crash testing, the Magnum received five out of five stars for driver and front-passenger protection during frontal collisions, and four stars for front occupants and five stars for rear occupants during side crashes.
