Dodge is expanding the Charger lineup with a new all-wheel-drive trim for 2020. The Charger GT AWD combines the more aggressive looks of the GT trim with the all-weather traction that was previously only available in SXT guise. Like the SXT AWD, the Charger GT AWD comes with just one engine choice, the 3.6L Pentastar V6 with 300 hp and 264 lb-ft

Dodge has just priced the 2020 Charger lineup. It starts with the V6-powered SXT and ranges all the way up to the Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition. With few changes to the lower trims, the big news this year is the widebody option on the SRT Hellcat and Scat Pack. The entry-level Charger SXT gets a 292 hp 3.6L V6. It's unchanged from last year,

“Is that the Hellcat?!” the excited voices clamoured all week. “No, this is ‘just’ the regular 392 Hemi.” I expected to see disappointment, to hear it in their voices. It didn’t come. Anyone who tells you that you “should have bought the Hellcat” will likely eat their words within 10 seconds of sitting down in your passenger seat. “Wow,

Despite a couple of face lifts, the Dodge Charger has been around since 2005. That's a long time for any car these days, and despite the recent addition of Hellcat power the heavy rear-drive sedan is starting to show its age. Automotive News is reporting that sources within Chrysler are talking about the all-new replacement that is said to be due

The automotive equivalent of bringing a bazooka to a knife fight, the Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye can be considered to be well, a bit overkill as a grocery-getter. It’s also in a higher snack bracket than most people are looking to spend. But sometimes being a grownup means making grownup decisions, which can mean taking things like fuel economy a

The new Charger design is worlds better than the previous edition. The front end that looked misshapen and clunky in the previous iteration now looks menacing and cool. The LED running lights that curve around the headlight trims are a big part of that. It’s not as tough in standard trims as it is in Hellcat mode, of course, but that’s a little lik

You can’t just drive the Hellcat. You have to negotiate. You have to compromise. Fortunately, the Hellcat has a diplomatic power management system. When it’s pouring rain and you’re driving the kids to the swimming pool, the Charger Hellcat offers a series of ‘switches’ on its touchscreen interface that allow you to calm it down, limiting it t

CHELSEA, Michigan – The old saying goes that there’s “No replacement for displacement,” and to that we’re adding, “There’s no power like mo’ power.” Which pretty much sums up the new Challenger that Dodge has unveiled, the 2019 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, which uses a massive factory supercharger to push 797 horses out to the wheels. Drivi

Was anyone really surprised when it was announced that the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat would be joining the Challenger SRT Hellcat in an over-the-top celebration of all things tire-smoky? The new Charger SRT Hellcat boasts the same 707 horsepower supercharged V8 and phenomenal accelerative capabilities as its two-door cousin, but it also bring

My neighbour strolled by as I was loading some musical equipment into the trunk of the screaming “Yellow Jacket” Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack and quipped, “So how small is it, anyway?” Interpret this as you will. Yet this brazen hulk is more than just a dumb collection of brutish parts and loud paint.  Yes, there will be those who

Vehicle Type Fuel-efficient performance, immense on-board space, good overall value, comfortable and quiet drive, and the added confidence of AWD traction in inclement weather. Full-size sedan History/Description When it comes to delivering plenty of bold styling and a good helping of American muscle, few family sedans pack the sa

I’m a huge advocate of using a battery trickle-charger, or battery tender, when you won’t be driving your vehicle for extended periods of time – and especially if that vehicle is a newer one, packed with fancy electronics that get fussy if the battery powering them isn’t in tip-top shape. Many readers have been in touch with questions and commen

Day 1 While everyone else is driving around in Hellcats I get to test something more attainable to the average family-sedan shopper: a V6 Dodge Charger equipped with all-wheel drive. It kind of looks like a Hellcat and I have had a few positive comments on it already, but the price and horsepower reflect something a little more pedestrian.

Dodge updates its big-power Charger models with the Widebody, which blows out the track so you can better conquer the track. It’s a refinement of a deliciously deranged formula, and one that is sure to please fans of the world’s last living muscle sedan. Styling: 8/10 A safe description of the 2020 Dodge Charger Widebody’s guiding philosophy

When Dodge made headlines with the announcement of an upcoming trim over the SRT models, I never expected this. First the Challenger, and the Charger received the Hellcat treatment, and when I saw the numbers, I knew I would have to get in one. First we sent Brendan to check out the Challenger lineup, including the Hellcat , then Ben Hunting t
