2019 Dodge Challenger Review

The Dodge Challenger is one of the top sports cars in the class, thanks to its lineup of powerful engines, top-notch cabin, and technology features.

Drivers in Franklin, Greenwood, and New Whiteland can learn more about the 2019 Dodge Challenger with our comprehensive review.

Performance

The Challenger offers a range of muscular engines to tailor your performance experience. The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 engine with 305 horsepower, though four HEMI V8s are on the offer. These range from the 375 horsepower R/T, the 485 horsepower R/T Scat Pack, and the 717 horsepower Hellcat. The Hellcat Redeye, the high-performance option, uses the Demon’s former V8 engine and its 797-horsepower V8 to reach a top speed of 203 MPH.

Despite its mean persona, the rear-wheel drive Challenger has impeccable road manners and superior comfort for passengers. Its light steering and absorbent suspension make driving a dream, even if it can tear up the pavement when it pushes. It also offers an all-wheel drive version to stay sure-footed in inclement weather.

Several performance upgrades are available for the upper trim levels, such as configurable drive modes, an adjustable suspension system, and launch assist. Line Lock, a feature that allows the rear wheels to spin with the vehicle in place to heat rear tires, is also available for the high-performance models.

Interior

Unlike its rivals, the Challenger can comfortably seat five people in its front and rear seats. The room in the back is close to sedans, making it comfortable and spacious for adult passengers. The padded, supportive seating and outward visibility are perfect for long-distance drives. The vintage-style interior look and comfort upgrades, such as leather upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, give the cabin a unique appeal.

Also edging out its rivals, the Challenger features a large, wide trunk with 16.2 cubic feet of cargo space, which is one of the biggest in the class. That’s plenty of space to haul luggage or shopping bags. Several small bins and cubbies are located within the cabin for passenger storage as well.

Technology

The Challenger technology comes standard with the Uconnect® infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen that’s praised as one of the top on the market. It features a straightforward, intuitive interface that makes inputting information quick and easy. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration are included, allowing you to access media from your phone to stream through the onboard system for on-the-go entertainment.

For safety, the Challenger offers advanced driver aids for each trim level. These include Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind-Spot Monitoring, Forward Collision Warning, Automatic High Beams, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Rain-Sensing Wipers. Though the Challenger has excellent control and visibility, these features help you stay aware of what’s happening on the road around you to avoid a collision.
