2015 Dodge Charger Debuts At 2014 New York Auto Show

Dodge has unveiled the dramatically revised 2015 Charger at this week's New York Auto Show. By its own admission, the company has reworked just about every body panel on the car, so while similar under the skin the new Charger projects a very different image. Many of the car's styling tweaks are influenced by the smaller Dodge Dart. Both the blacked-out grille and the projector-equipped headlights are slimmer, the latter now laden with distinctive C-shaped LED daytime running lights. The front bumper has been revised, incorporating separate LED running light units, and the hood has also been redesigned.The car's characterful side profile remains largely unchanged, but Dodge still notes new front and rear fenders and new doors.

Towards the rear the Charger's signature body-width light bar has taken on a smoother, curved appearance. This too is lit by a 'racetrack' of LEDs, just as it was on the older car. The bumper too is smoother, with exhaust outlets now integrated into the bumper's lower panel. A small lip spoiler on R/T models replaces the raised spoiler used on previous Chargers. Six new 20-inch alloy wheel designs are available, including a 20x9 inch forged aluminium wheel option. A set of 'heritage' color options, including B5 Blue and TorRed, join the options list.

The overall effect is one of added sophistication, a feel that continues inside. Dodge has introduced a 7-inch thin-film TFT screen in the gauge cluster, while touchscreens up to 8.4-inches across dominate the center stack. 3-D navigation and downloadable apps are both available. The steering wheel, shifter knob and interior trim options have all been revised, while several technical features are now available. Drivers get trial access to Uconnect services, which include 9-1-1 and assist call, roadside assistance calling options, theft alert, voice texting and a Wi-Fi hotspot, among other features.

Performance fans will be glad to hear the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 is going nowhere, still offering 370 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque. Efficiency is given a boost by four-cylinder deactivation technology though, and a new TorqueFlite eight-speed auto should aid both acceleration and cruising efficiency. Those after even lower fuel bills will look to the new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, capable of 31 mpg on the highway. This too gets the eight-speed auto, but performance is still strong, with 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Opt for the Charger SXT with the Rallye Appearance Group package (a cold air intake, new exhaust and some ECU tweaks), and those numbers are lifted to 300 horses and 264 lb-ft. SE and SXT models are available with all-wheel drive, for those in less clement climates. Details on the 2015 Charger SRT will be released at a later date.

Dodge promises a better drive than ever from the Charger, with Normal, Comfort and Sport modes to the electronic power steering, lighter cast-aluminum axles and a sport mode for the automatic transmission. Changes take just 250 milliseconds--versus 400 as standard--and throttle mapping is more aggressive. The shifter itself is now fully electronic for greater response and minimal effort.
Production of the 2015 Dodge Charger is slated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2014, with deliveries soon after. Head over to our New York Auto Show hub for more news and photos from the show.

Interesting move by Dodge.

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

Wow, I really like it. That's the front end it should have had all along.

 

[GTA45E]

Looks like a Dodge Dart on steroids, not a fan.

 

[Sayyaaf]

Americans are back. Keep pushing USA, i like the direction of major US comapnies.

 

[GTA45E]

When this engine goes into the Charger I'll be even more interested.

It looks like you might get your wish.
Like the Challenger Hellcat, The bulge in the hood might be a clear giveaway that this is the SRT Charger Hellcat.

Dodge gave us an early look at its redesigned 2015 Charger muscle sedan at the 2014 New York Auto Show in April, but the automaker is yet to reveal the high-performance SRT version. During the FiatChrysler Automobiles five-year strategy announcement earlier in the year, we learned that a new Charger SRT will be launched for the 2015 model year, complete with a supercharged engine.
This led to speculation that the supercharged engine destined for the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT would be none other than Chrysler’s new Hellcat, a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 good for 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. We’ve just driven the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT equipped with the Hellcat, and yes it’s just as insane as you'd expect a rear-wheel-drive coupe with 707 horses under the hood to be.Now we have semi-official confirmation that the 2015 Charger SRT will be just as bonkers. First noted by Road & Track, the SAE filing for the Hellcat’s power rating mentions both the 2015 Challenger SRT and 2015 Charger SRT. This means that the 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat is destined to be the most powerful sedan to ever hit the market. By comparison, the V-12-powered Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG is currently the most powerful four-door on the market, and it produces ‘only’ 621 hp.

Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is the fastest & most powerful sedan in the world

Dodge puts the Supercharger into the Charger
The worst keep secret in Detroit is finally official as Dodge has taken the wraps off the 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat.

Described as the "quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world," the Charger SRT Hellcat features a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that develops 707 bhp (527 kW) and 650 lb-ft (880Nm) of torque. It is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission that enables the car to run the quarter mile in 11.0 seconds and hit a top speed of 204 mph (328.3 km/h). Even more impressive, the Charger SRT Hellcat can go from 0-100-0 mph in less than 13 seconds.

Besides the insane engine, designers added an aggressive front fascia with a new grille that is flanked by LED-infused headlights. The model also has a "power-bulge" aluminum hood with a cold air intake and heat extractors. Other notable highlights include a new rear bumper, a trunk-mounted spoiler, a dual exhaust system and 20-inch aluminum wheels with Pirelli P Zero tires.

The sporty styling continues in the cabin as there's a flat bottom steering wheel and heated / ventilated sport seats which are covered in Nappa leather and Alcantara upholstery. Other niceties include a digital instrument cluster, an 18-speaker Harmon Kardon audio system and a Uconnect infotainment system with an 8.4-inch display.

The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat will go into production early next year and pricing will be announced closer to launch.

Just in terms of appearance, I love the exterior. The facelift to the front makes a world of difference. The perfomance in this is just staggering.

 

[ateekt]

The top speed is only 204 mph? But isn't that less than the top speed of E60 M5 with the (155 mph) limiter removed. Which, by the way, is almost a decade old story.

 

[Cashmere]

This does look very exciting! Seems like the sedan horsepower wars have been reignited, and this time we have an American contender. Looking forward to the comparisons and reviews.

So you think the e60 M5 is the better car because it has a higher top speed?

 

[ateekt]

By no means. I was referring to the claim made in title of being the 'fastest sedan in the world' only.

However, I do personally believe the E60 M5 is over all a better built & way more refined vehicle than any Charger ever.

I had an e60 M5. Minus the SMG transmission, it was a great car.

It turned out pretty good.
It`s going to be interesting to see how this compares to the upcoming Cadillac CTS-V.
The Cadillac will smash it on the track, no doubt. It should match those numbers as well, except maby for that top end.

this thing might outrun the Viper. Thay might as well ditch that 8.0liter V10 with this engine..

Hmm...I wonder if they will give cops these cars.

 

[GTA45E]

The starting price is $59,995

Hell of a deal for the worlds most powerful sedan.

 

[Cashmere]

^Agreed. It might not have the refinement of the German Uber sedans but at $59K, that is a lot of bang for your buck.
