Dodge Challenger MPG

Engine Options

The new Challenger comes with an incredible five different engine options that each offer something special. Coming in standard is the 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 with 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. With one simple upgrade, however, you could enjoy the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 and its 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. If you want to push that horsepower to 485, the 392 HEMI® V8 can get the job done.

For true unrivaled power, you'll need to opt for one of the last two engines. The supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® SRT Hellcat V8 offers an absolutely incredible 717 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. If that's still not enough for you, there's one upgrade left. The supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat HEMI® Redeye offers a monumental 797 horsepower with 707 lb-ft of torque.

Performance

All that power wouldn't mean much if you couldn't control it. Fortunately, Dodge outfitted the Challenger with numerous features that make sure you maintain control of your ride. Three-Mode Electronic Stability Control is designed to ensure all four wheels stay on the ground at all times, while the electronic power steering grants incredible agility and handling you wouldn't normally expect from a muscle car.

You can always opt for the 6-speed manual transmission with your Challenger, but the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission is arguably more impressive. Not only do you get smooth shifting every time, but you also have wheel-mounted paddle shifters with adjustable shift points at your disposal.

Technology

While performance is the focus of any muscle car, the Challenger is also packed with some of the best automotive technology available. The Uconnect® infotainment system comes complete with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™, so you can connect your smartphone to your Challenger and access some of your favorite apps right from the touchscreen.

Additionally, you'll find a 7-inch driver information digital cluster display on your instrumentation panel that's completely customizable. You can use this screen for directions, vehicle diagnostics, lap times, and more. If you're going to be measuring lap times on the track, however, make sure you also take advantage of the Dodge Performance Pages to get real-time stats on your performance.
