The Chrysler Aspen is a sport utility vehicle from DaimlerChrysler. Launched for the 2007 model year, the Aspen is based on the Dodge Durango SUV. The Aspen name was previously used by Dodge (on a twin of the Plymouth Volaré) from 1976 to 1980.

It is the first truck-based SUV commercialized under the Chrysler brand. With this introduction, as of 2006, all American automobile brands have an SUV in their range. The car was unveiled at the 2006 North American International Auto Show. The Aspen also comes equipped with three rows of seating for 8 passengers and all-wheel drive.

The Aspen comes in one series, the Limited, with several equipment packages available to customize the vehicle to one's individual tastes. Only a few standalone options are offered, in keeping with the Aspen's market positioning as an upscale SUV.

There are three engines available, a flex-fuel 4.7 L V8 (capable of running on E85 or gasoline), a gasoline 4.7 L V8 (for California and other states where the E85 4.7 L V8 will not meet emissions requirements), and the 5.7 L Hemi V8 with MDS.
