The Challenger has been part of the Dodge lineup for more than a decade, yet it remains one of the most popular models from the automotive manufacturer. Take a look at some of the most appealing aspects of this powerful muscle car and what makes it a top-seller among buyers in this segment.
Astounding Power and Performance
The 2019 Dodge Challenger is an extremely powerful vehicle, especially in the Demon trim level. Even the base model is powered by a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that rates at 268 pound-feet of torque and 305 horsepower. Upgrading to the R/T adds a 5.7-liter V-8 engine, which makes 410 pound-feet of torque and 375 horsepower when matched to the six-speed manual transmission. The outputs drop slightly if you opt for the available eight-speed automatic transmission.
As you get to the higher trim levels, the power becomes even more impressive. The R/T 392 has a 6.4-liter V-8 that puts out 475 pound-feet of torque and 485 horsepower. Within the Hellcat is a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 that pumps out 650 pound-feet of torque and 717 horsepower. At the top of the list is the SRT Hellcat Redeye, which replaces the Demon trim level from the 2018 model. It has the same engine as the SRT, although it makes 797 horsepower and 707 pound-feet of torque.
Sleek and Sporty Exterior
From the outside, the Challenger is extremely appealing and eye-catching. Shoppers love the aggressive front end with dual grilles, the round headlights, and the wide-body that creates a sharp-looking stance. You can further upgrade your Challenger with features and packages to make it look even more stylish. The Widebody package adds wider tires and fender flares, while the R/T Scat Pack 1320 has a wide range of mechanical upgrades designed for drag racing. You can also get quad exhaust tips, a dual-snorkel hood, unique exterior styling elements, exterior graphics and stripes, xenon headlights, and six-piston Brembo brakes.
Comfortable Interior
Although it may look like a sports car from the outside, the cabin of the 2019 Challenger is more comfortable than you might expect. This large vehicle boasts plenty of interior space, even for taller drivers and passengers. Standard cabin features include dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, split-folding rear seats, and a power driver’s seat.
With the higher trim levels, you can get features like bolstered front seats, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, interior ambient lighting, and a premium audio system.
Innovative Safety Features
On the safety side, standard equipment includes a rearview camera, anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, and advanced front airbags. You can further upgrade your Challenger with options like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking sensors.
With so many appealing features, it’s easy to see why the Challenger is still such an exciting model among buyers who want power, performance, and comfort. Visit All American CDJ Odessa to take this model for a test drive and experience the high-end components for yourself.
