2019 Dodge Challenger Culpeper VA

What standards does the Challenger come with?

The Challenger provides you with a good blend of big attitude and speed while keeping practicality in mind. Coupes tend to suffer from compact builds, but this muscle is built big, ready to assert its presence with sound and spaciousness. Inside features the best-in-class 94 cubic-feet of passenger volume. That's 42 inches of legroom for you and your fellow front passenger, and 33 inches in the rear should you opt to keep your second-row, while headroom is hardly a problem at an averaged 38 inches. Storage isn't any issue either with a truly gigantic best-in-class 16 cubic foot trunk. Low to the ground and near 200-inch long, this muscle car is built for cruising on the open road, riding on 18 to 20 inch wheels that are 9 to 11 inches wide for maximum handling and stability. Performance hood designs are available on the GT and up, while a rear spoiler comes standard. Next to the automatic projection headlamps, you can get additional engine cooling thanks to Dodge's exclusive Cold Air Intake System. Inside, 17 interior options are available throughout the Challenger's trim models, coating your sport bucket seats in high quality cloth, suede, or leather with trim specific embroidery. Four steering wheel options command your vehicle forward, each equipped with manual mode paddle shifters, cruise control, and audio/phone controls that link to the largest-in-class 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment touchscreen interface. You'll find standard Bluetooth with hands free phone call capabilities, Apple and Android wireless smartphone integration, and SiriusXM compatibility. You can opt to subscribe to navigation with real-time traffic rerouting and even 4G LTE WiFi.

What engine provides the power I'm looking for?

Nigh every Challenger trim comes with its own model-exclusive engine, suspension, and transmission to provide you with a steadily increasing index of performance and power to suit your tastes. The SXT and GT are the base trims, coming with the only V6 powertrain option of the seven standard trims. The 3.6L Pentastar is specially crafted to give you 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque.Its fine tuned variable valve timing boost economy of your drive, giving you a great 19/30 maximum miles per gallon. Rear-wheel drive is now standard on both trims, with newly offered all-wheel drive provided as an option if you want to boost your handling. These are the only two trims you can get AWD; the other Challenger models come purely with RWD. Paired with this engine is a TorqueFlite automatic eight speed transmission. The R/T bridges you into the most cost effective means to get a V8 in this car. The 5.7L HEMI enhances the vehicle with 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, channeled through an upgraded active sport exhaust, limited-slip differential, and bigger brakes. The R/T Scat Pack and its variants--the R/T Plus, T/A, Shaker, and Wide Body--all come with a bigger 6.4L HEMI V8. 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque power these vehicles forward with gusto, all upgraded to possess introductory drag racing tech. Launch control, line lock, four-piston Brembo brakes, and a sport-tuned suspension provide you with a satisfying professional take off. The SRT Hellcat takes this tech and adds in its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, really jumping the gun thanks to its 717 horsepower and 656 lb-ft of horsepower. A new dual snorkel hood this year enhances the Hellcat's performance by 10 more horsepower. Nothing beats the SRT Hellcat Redeye this year, though. A larger supercharger comes straight out of the Demon to maximize the 6.2L HEMI's output, nearing 800 horsepower and giving you plenty of launch with 707 lb-ft of torque. 25 other component upgrades inspired by the Demon's engineering make the Redeye one of a kind. All V8 options besides the Redeye give you choice of either the eight-speed automatic or a performance boosting six-speed manual transmission.

How does the Challenger's safety rate?

Given five stars by the NHTSA, the Challenger is a fortress for you and your passengers thanks to its high strength steel frame with specialized crumple zones to redistribute crash forces around and away from the passenger cabin. A whole host of handling assurance is built into each Challenger, from Hill Start Assist to All-Speed Traction Control and Electronic Stability Monitoring. These systems work in tandem to keep your vehicle going where you want it to; if any tire slippage is detected, the vehicle automatically alters brakes and throttle to regain control of the vehicle. For 2019, rear-traffic and blind-spot monitoring come available in all trims of the Challenger, while a higher grade SafetyTec Group provides you with further driver assist features in higher models. From the GT up, you can enjoy additional Forward Collision Warning, ParkSense reverse sonar alerts, and adaptive cruise control. Superior stopping power is assured through the Challenger's upgraded brakes and additional brake support systems such as Rain Brake and Ready-Alert for a sharp stop no matter the road conditions.
