2015 DODGE CHARGER | OVERVIEW http://media.chrysler.com | 2
The Dodge brand is bringing its A-game for its 100th anniversary, significantly updating both the iconic
Challenger muscle car and Charger four-door sedan.
The iconic Dodge Charger gets a full-body makeover for 2015 along with powertrain updates that
include a standard TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission on both Charger’s standard 3.6-liter
V-6 Pentastar engine and, new for 2015, the R/T equipped 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8.
―Our Dodge designers have resculpted nearly every single body panel of the Dodge Charger for 2015,
giving it a sleek, nimble appearance,‖ said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO — Dodge Brand, Chrysler
Group LLC. ―The Charger’s all-new exterior design combined with its standard new TorqueFlite eight-
speed transmission and the latest in-car technology builds on the brand’s promise to deliver American
performance machines with world-class efficiency, technology, authentic materials and standout styling
for our customers.‖
The 2015 Dodge Charger will be available in four models: SE, SXT, R/T and R/T Road & Track.
Charger is built at the Brampton (Ont.) Assembly Plant in Canada. Production is slated to begin in the
fourth quarter of 2014.
Charger continues to grow its market share
The 2015 Dodge Charger competes in the U.S. full-size car market, but stands alone in a class by itself
as the only American-bred four-door muscle car. In March of 2014, the Dodge brand reached a
significant milestone, with Challenger and Charger sales combining to sell a total of more than 1 million
units in the United States.
The Charger’s combination of aggressive and youthful image, full-size functionality and world-class
engineering and quality resonates with young and affluent buyers. Charger’s purchasers on average
are 15 years younger than its competitors’ buyers within the segment, with more than half identifying
themselves as millennials or Generation Xers.
The Charger’s appeal is attracting a high number of conquest buyers, helping drive a 62 percent
increase in sales since 2009 – double the growth of the standard full-size car segment. In 2013,
Charger posted its best sales year since 2007, further fueling a 3.2 percentage point gain in market
share since 2009.
To help Charger keep its edge, Dodge is loading up the new sedan with a slew of new technologies
and a host of premium features, such as high-end interiors, the latest Uconnect System and impressive
powertrain options, along with a new exterior design that is distinctly Dodge. New feature updates for
2015 include:

‘Pure’formance, Aero’dramatics’ and ‘Fun’ctionality in Design
Inspired by its performance-enthusiast roots when Charger first launched more than 45 years ago, the
new Charger successfully pays homage to past muscle cars while offering distinctly modern all-new
exterior and interior appointments.
The all-new exterior of the 2015 Dodge Charger is spiritually inspired by the iconic second-generation
Charger from the late 1960s, and for 2015, specifically draws its cues from the 1969 model. With its
rear-wheel-drive (RWD) platform and proven power, the Charger’s modern take on old-school muscle is
sure to resonate with today’s enthusiasts.
The Charger’s easily recognizable Coke-bottle design and scalloped body sides, sinister front
crosshairs and aggressive stance and signature LED ―racetrack‖ tail lamps all get a major makeover for
2015 with cleaner lines to create a sleek, chiseled, nimble and lighter weight appearance. The exterior
2015 DODGE CHARGER | OVERVIEW http://media.chrysler.com | 5
redesign includes changes to the hood, fenders, front and rear fascias, headlamps, tail lamps, front
doors and spoiler.
Starting up front, the 2015 Charger’s new front styling features an all-new crosshair grille, LED fog
lamps (on SXT and R/T), turn signals and daytime running lights (DRLs), and new projector-beam
headlamps (HID lights on premium trims). The Charger’s all-new forward-leaning front fascia gives it a
superhero’s confident stance. Blacked out front-end graphics create a mask that creates a family
resemblance with the Dodge Dart and Durango. Slim, elongated DRLs and a full-width grille enhance
the width of the sedan; Dodge logos are echoed in the outside corner of each headlamp.
In profile, the 2015 Charger carries forward its muscular Coke-bottle styling, with streamlined side
scallops, while headlamps and tail lamps are now wrapped around each corner to create a trim,
sinuous and tailored look. The net effect is that the car appears significantly lighter and more nimble.
The rear styling makeover begins at the touchdown point of the C-pillar, which is moved rearward to
create an even more pronounced fastback appearance combined with a shorter rear overhang. A new
three-piece spoiler is more integrated into the decklid, while the signature ―racetrack‖ LED tail lamp
takes on the same continuous glowing ribbon of light that debuted on the new 2014 Dodge Durango.
The center high-mounted stop lamp is relocated from the top of the decklid to the roofline inside the
back glass, allowing centering of the Charger’s backup camera.
All-new wheels and heritage colors complete the palette
All Charger models receive new wheels. A total of 10 wheels are available with 20-inch wheels
standard on R/T models. In fact, six different 20-inch wheels are available on Charger for 2015,
including an available 20-by-9-inch forged aluminum wheel finished in matte Hyper Black II paint.
Special heritage colors include TorRed and new B5 Blue, along with Redline Tri-coat Pearl, Jazz Blue
Pearl, Granite Crystal Metallic, Billet Silver Metallic, Phantom Black Tri-coat Pearl, Ivory Tri-coat Pearl
and Bright White.
Driver-oriented interior with craftsmanship and world-class materials
The 2015 Charger’s restyled driver-focused interior features all-new premium, soft-touch materials, a
new 7-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) customizable digital instrument gauge cluster and a new
instrument panel center stack with a next-generation audio system embedded in the stack’s standard
touchscreen display.
The Charger’s interior is instantly brought to life by its unique premium aluminum-lithograph driver
bezel, which enables a seamless, billeted and highly detailed appearance that carries through the
instrument cluster and center console. Thanks to advanced manufacturing techniques, the aluminum
2015 DODGE CHARGER | OVERVIEW http://media.chrysler.com | 6
bezel features one-piece construction for a consistent appearance from nearly the A-pillar to the
surrounding area of the Uconnect system, highlighting all the ergonomically located vehicle functions
for the driver.
The instrument cluster has also been given the high-tech treatment and now includes a full-color 7-inch
TFT screen similar to the one found in the 2014 Dodge Durango and Dodge Dart. Standard on all
models, this screen gives drivers more than 100 ways to customize how information is presented.
Framing the Charger’s new instrument cluster is a newly redesigned three-spoke thick rim sport
steering wheel with available paddle shifters. The buttons to control driver information functions are
now larger and illuminated to make them easier to operate. Buttons for Uconnect and phone access
now reside along the bottom edge of the horizontal spokes. As before, Charger’s popular audio controls
are still found on the back of the upper steering wheel spokes.
Looking to the center stack, the 2015 Charger features the latest and greatest Uconnect Access suite
of technologies. All 2015 models feature a standard Uconnect touchscreen, including a 5-inch or the
largest in the class 8.4-inch. Under these large and easy-to-use touchscreens are redundant button and
knob controls for audio and climate functions.
A performance-inspired all-new electronic shifter is standard on both V-6 and V-8 models. The fully
electronic shifter mimics a linkage shifter, with tactile and visual cues for gear location, while providing
the benefits of electronic shifting, such as short throws and low shift efforts.
Charger features eight all-new interior trims, including Black and Tungsten cloth, Black and Pearl
leather, and Black and Ruby Red leather.
Segment-exclusive TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic now standard on all
Dodge Charger models
Once limited to sedans costing twice as much, the new 2015 Dodge Charger democratizes this
exclusive world-class technology, offering the segment-exclusive TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic
transmission standard on every model, including new for 2015, on Dodge Charger SE models and
HEMI-powered R/T models.
The 2015 Dodge Charger R/T and R/T Road & Track models integrate the TorqueFlite electronic eight-
speed automatic transmission. By design, this state-of-the-art gearbox provides world-class shift
quality, refinement and fuel efficiency. Paired with the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine and its 370 best-in-
class horsepower and 395 lb.-ft. of torque, the Dodge Charger R/T models can deliver 0-60 mph
performance in the high-5 seconds.
2015 DODGE CHARGER | OVERVIEW http://media.chrysler.com | 7
Best-in-class 31 mpg with standard Pentastar V-6
Dodge Charger SE and SXT rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) models are powered
by the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, which delivers 292 horsepower (218 kW) at 6,350
rpm and 260 lb.-ft. (353 N•m) of torque at 4,800 rpm and a best-in-class 31 miles per gallon (mpg) on
the highway.
For Dodge Charger customers who want 31 mpg V-6 fuel economy with even more power, the Dodge
Charger SXT model offers the Rallye Appearance Group – providing up to 300 horsepower and 264 lb.-
ft. of torque thanks to a unique cold-air induction system, sport-tuned exhaust and engine calibration.
The Pentastar engine features double-overhead camshafts (DOHC) with dual-independent cam
phasers (DICP), integrated exhaust manifolds, polymer-coated piston skirts, forged connecting rods
and a high-pressure die-cast aluminum cylinder block in a 60-degree configuration.
Refinement was a key objective for every component during the design phase of the engine and was
achieved by using advanced computer-aided engineering techniques. Structural, intake and exhaust
areas of the engine are designed to deliver low levels of overall sound. Combined with the use of
premium hydraulic powertrain mounts, the 2015 Dodge Charger delivers refinement in all powertrain
applications and at all RPMs.
Charger’s available HEMI V-8 engine delivers best-in-class 370 horsepower and
395 lb.-ft. of torque
For the muscle-car enthusiast, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T featuring the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8
engine with 370 horsepower (276 kW) and 395 lb.-ft. of torque (536 Nm), now combines the engine’s
four-cylinder mode Fuel Saver Technology with three additional gears from the new TorqueFlite eight-
speed automatic transmission for maximum performance and efficiency.
For even more responsiveness, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Road & Track model features a unique
3.07 rear axle ratio (versus the standard 2.62 rear axle ratio) and a high-speed engine controller with
unique engine and transmission calibrations. In addition, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T model lineup’s
Fuel Saver Technology seamlessly alternates between smooth, high-fuel-economy four-cylinder mode
when less power is needed and V-8 mode when more power is in demand.
The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine also features variable-cam timing (VCT) to improve fuel economy in two
ways. First, it reduces the engine’s pumping work by closing the intake valve later. Second, it increases
the expansion process of the combustion event. This allows more work to be transferred to the wheels
2015 DODGE CHARGER | OVERVIEW http://media.chrysler.com | 8
instead of being lost out of the exhaust port as heat. VCT improves engine breathing, which improves
engine efficiency and power.
New 2015 Dodge Charger delivers array of easy-to-use, state-of-the-art advanced technologies
From its updated award-winning Uconnect Access system, to the availability of Uconnect Access
services with roadside assistance, theft-alarm notification, voice texting and the ability to turn the
Charger into a Wi-Fi hot spot to the new Dodge Performance Pages, 3-D navigation and segment-
exclusive premium Beats Audio system, the 2015 Dodge Charger delivers a slew of high-tech features
for the ultimate driving experience.
The Charger’s acclaimed Uconnect Access system leverages advanced embedded cellular technology,
which enables direct, one-touch connections with emergency service providers, roadside assistance
dispatchers and vehicle information specialists.
With its available mobile phone app, Charger owners can start their vehicle and lock or unlock doors
while away from the vehicle. Charger owners also can access on-demand Wi-Fi making their car a
moving hot spot.
Charger’s new for 2015 Uconnect Via Mobile lets customers enjoy their personal Internet radio
accounts and stream audio content using their own mobile device data plans. It seamlessly brings four
popular Internet radio apps into the Dodge Charger, including Aha by Harman, iHeartRadio, Pandora
and Slacker. Like all Uconnect-brand features, it is designed to be easy to learn and easy to use.
The 2015 Dodge Charger’s available navigation system accommodates one-step voice-controlled
destination entry and enhanced 3-D navigation map graphics, making it simple for driver’s to recognize
where they are and where they need to go.
The Charger also offers premium audio systems that are designed to immerse passengers in the
ultimate audio experience, including the segment-exclusive high-definition Beats Audio system.
Thanks to the speed of its PowerNet electrical architecture, the 2015 Dodge Charger models equipped
with Sport mode can instantly transform the four-door muscle car’s personality to improve performance.
By engaging Sport mode, Charger drivers can reduce shift times from approximately 400 milliseconds
to 250 milliseconds, increase engine and throttle responsiveness, adjust electronic stability control
(ESC) settings and firm up the steering feel.
Additionally on the Charger R/T Road & Track model, the driver can use the all-new Dodge
Performance Pages, which is available on the segment’s largest 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen. It
2015 DODGE CHARGER | OVERVIEW http://media.chrysler.com | 9
includes active launch control, launch control RPM settings, performance timers and performance
gauges, such as G-force indicators and engine performance.
New 2015 Dodge Charger offers more than 80 safety and security features; leverages state-of-
the-art driver-assist features
The Dodge Charger offers more than 80 safety and security features, including many that are new for
2015. New available features for the model year include Full-speed Forward Collision Warning-Plus,
which provides autonomous braking and, under certain circumstances, slows or brings vehicle to full
stop when frontal collision appears imminent.
Adaptive Cruise Control Plus with Full Stop helps maintain distance from the vehicle ahead and, under
certain traffic conditions, the system can bring the new 2015 Dodge Charger to full stop without driver
intervention. New Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist introduces subtle steering-wheel
input to alert the driver of inadvertent lane departure and assist with corrective action.
Charger’s ParkSense rear park assist system works when the car is in reverse, sensing objects at low
speeds. If imminent collision is detected, the system will provide a momentary, autonomous brake
pulse or, in certain circumstances, bring the vehicle to a stop.
New for 2015, 9-1-1 call/Assist Call connects Dodge Charger occupants directly with emergency-
service providers via built-in data connection with a push of a button, a feature exclusive to Chrysler
Group’s Uconnect Access service.
The Charger’s standard Keyless Enter ’n Go activates interior lighting and enables passive cabin entry
and trunk access through the driver’s personalized key fob. The new Charger also includes a standard
ultrasonic security system with an anti-tilt feature that sounds an alarm if vehicle is towed or raised on a
jack.
Enthusiast-inspired Rear-Wheel Drive architecture with advanced technological solutions
The chassis of the all-new 2015 Dodge Charger is designed, engineered and fine-tuned to deliver
world-class performance and efficiencies thanks to its advanced technological solutions, which include:
Electric power steering (EPS)
o New EPS now provides three driver-selectable steering modes: Normal, Comfort and
Sport. Tuning allows for more responsive steering for spirited driving while maintaining
ease in low-speed situations and when parking
2015 DODGE CHARGER | OVERVIEW http://media.chrysler.com | 10
All-new, lighter weight axles for RWD and AWD
o All-new cast-aluminum axles and axle housing provide weight savings and help to
reduce parasitic friction
Sport mode
o Sport mode provides blistering-quick gear changes, reducing shift times by 37 percent
(250 milliseconds vs. 400 milliseconds), while engaging a more aggressive transmission
calibration. When Auto Stick is engaged with Sport mode, the driver can select and hold
the desired gear without unexpected shifts, including at the redline
o Sport mode also engages a more aggressive throttle map and steering feel
Electronic shifter
o Fully electronic shifter provides the intuitive look and feel of a traditional linkage shifter
with less shift effort, short throws and refined engagement and detents providing clear
physical feedback of gear position. Like the available steering-wheel mounted paddle
shifters for manual shift control, the new electronic shifter also has a manual-mode shift
gate for Auto Stick control
Segment’s most innovative All-Wheel Drive system delivers best-in-class fuel economy
The 2015 Dodge Charger SE and SXT are available with AWD capability thanks to a segment-
exclusive active transfer case and front-axle disconnect system that improves fuel economy by up to 5
percent. No other major automotive manufacturer offers the combination of these two independent
technologies. Dodge Charger’s innovative AWD system seamlessly transitions between RWD and
AWD with no driver intervention. When AWD is not required, the system automatically disconnects the
front axle to maximize fuel economy while still providing the outstanding performance and handling
inherent in RWD vehicles. To better anticipate low-traction roadways, the Dodge Charger’s innovative
AWD system automatically engages in cold weather, when slip is detected or when the windshield
wipers are on in rainy or snowy conditions.

The 2015 Dodge Charger’s new exterior styling builds on the modern four-door fastback coupe’s already iconic profile that celebrates Dodge design heritage, legendary power and world-class performance handling.
The Charger’s easily recognizable Coke-bottle design and scalloped body sides, sinister front crosshairs and aggressive stance and signature LED “racetrack” tail lamps all get a major makeover for 2015 with cleaner lines to create a sleek, chiseled, nimble and lighter visual weight. The exterior redesign includes changes to the hood, fenders, front and rear fascias, headlamps, tail lamps, front doors and spoiler.
“Our Dodge designers re-sculpted nearly every single body panel, save for the rear doors and the roof, giving the new for 2015 Dodge Charger a more refined look on the exterior,” said Joe Dehner, Head of Dodge Design – Chrysler Group LLC. “These substantial updates make the new Charger what we call in design terms more ‘aero-dramatic.’”
Inspired by its performance-enthusiast roots when Charger was first launched more than 45 years ago, the oldest nameplate in the Dodge product lineup successfully pays homage to past muscle cars while offering distinctly modern all-new exterior and interior appointments.

With its rear-wheel-drive platform and proven power, the Charger’s modern take on old-school muscle is sure to resonate with today’s enthusiasts.
“The Charger is a bold four-door muscle coupe that demands a design inspired by three attributes: ‘pure’formance, aero’dramatics’, and ‘fun’ctionality – all wrapped up in a muscular, athletic shell,” Dehner added. “For the 2015 Dodge Charger, you see Challenger muscle-car styling combined with our modern ‘mask’ appearance from the latest Dart and Durango.”
Starting up front, the 2015 Charger’s new front styling features an all-new crosshair grille, LED fog lamps (on SXT and R/T), turn signals and daytime running lights (DRLs), and new projector-beam head lamps (high-intensity discharge (HID) lights on premium trims).

Special heritage colors include TorRed and new B5 Blue, along with Redline Tri-coat Pearl, Jazz Blue, Granite Crystal Metallic, Billet Silver Metallic, Phantom Black Tri-coat Pearl, Ivory Tri-coat Pearl and Bright White.
Driver-oriented interior with craftsmanship and world-class materials The 2015 Dodge Charger’s restyled driver-focused interior features new premium, soft-touch materials, a new standard 7-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) instrument cluster and a new instrument panel center stack with next-generation Uconnect Access touchscreen and high-definition audio system.
“For 2015, we took the Charger’s award-winning interior and refined it,” said Klaus Busse, Head of Interiors – Chrysler Group LLC. “The new Charger features all the latest technology, new splashes of color and new seat trims. It’s now everything that was good about Charger, even better.”

Performance-contoured seats provide optimum support and comfort with dual-density foam, spring suspension and topper layers of light-density foam sewn into the covers. Dodge Charger’s seat upholstery features premium seat fabrics, including leather seats wrapped in soft, premium Nappa leather. The Road & Track Package offers a unique seat option with a performance- styled seat with high bolsters that includes high-grip Alcantara inserts.

Charger RWD and AWD models
Building on more than 45 years of heritage, the new 2015 Dodge Charger delivers new levels of performance and efficiency thanks to the addition of the state-of-the-art TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission mated to 370 best-in-class horsepower and advanced technological solutions engineered into its enthusiast-inspired rear-wheel drive (RWD) architecture.
“The eighth-generation Charger is designed to maximize the performance and efficiency of its segment-exclusive TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission and HEMI V-8 engine pairing – giving Dodge enthusiasts America’s only four-door muscle car capable of taking on sport sedans costing twice as much,” said Steve Williams, Dodge Charger Vehicle Line Executive – Chrysler Group LLC. “And for customers who want best-in-class fuel economy, the 3.6-liter Pentastar engine can churn up to 300 horsepower, all while delivering a best-in-class 31 mpg, or a best-in-class AWD fuel economy label of 27 mpg.”
Segment-exclusive TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic now standard on all Dodge Charger models Once limited to sedans costing twice as much, the all-new Dodge Charger democratizes this exclusive world-class technology – offering the eight-speed automatic transmission standard on every model – including the addition of Charger SE and HEMI®-powered Charger R/T models for 2015.
The 2015 Dodge Charger R/T and R/T Road & Track models integrate the ZF 8HP70 electronic eight-speed automatic transmission. By design, this state-of-the-art gearbox provides world-class shift quality, refinement and fuel efficiency. Paired with the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine and its 370 best-in-class horsepower, the Dodge Charger R/T models can deliver 0-60 mph performance in less than 6 seconds.
The design of the TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission further contributes to efficiency. At 194 lbs. (88 kg), it weighs just four lbs. (1.8 kg) more than the previous Charger R/T’s five-speed gearbox. Furthermore, the transmission features particularly close fifth through eighth-speed gear ratios for smoother shifting, along with a lower cruising rpm in top gear for added refinement.
Comprehensive Sport mode and Dodge Performance Pages transforms Charger’s personalityThanks to the speed of its PowerNet electrical architecture, the 2015 Dodge Charger models equipped with Sport mode can instantly transform the four-door muscle car’s personality to improve performance. By engaging Sport mode, Charger drivers can reduce shift times from approximately 400 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds, increase engine and throttle responsiveness, adjust electronic stability control
(ESC) settings and firm up the steering feel.
Additionally on the Charger R/T Road & Track model, the driver can use the all-new Dodge Performance Pages, which are available on the segment’s largest 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen. It includes active launch control, launch control RPM settings, performance timers and performance gauges, such as G-force indicators and engine performance.
Segment’s first new performance electronic shifter Connecting the driver to the segment-exclusive TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission is a new performance-inspired electronic shifter. With the Dodge enthusiast in mind, this new transmission shifter functions like a traditional “linkage” shifter, all while providing the benefits of an electronic shifter, such as short throws and low shift efforts. In addition, a secondary gate for manual-style eight-speed Auto Stick shifting is standard.
For even more driver control, paddle shifters (standard on R/T models, optional on SXT models) offer the convenience of transmission gear selection with controls placed within fingertip range behind the Dodge Charger’s thick-rim three-spoke steering wheel.
Best-in-class 31 mpg with Pentastar V-6Dodge Charger SE and SXT models feature the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with double-overhead camshafts (DOHC), variable cam timing (VCT), integrated exhaust manifolds, polymer-coated piston skirts, forged connecting rods and a high-pressure die-cast aluminum cylinder block in a 60-degree configuration. The engine delivers 292 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque and up to 31 miles per gallon (mpg) on the highway.
For Dodge Charger customers who want 31 mpg highway V-6 fuel economy with even more power, the Dodge Charger SXT model offers the Rallye Appearance Group – providing up to 300 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft. of torque, thanks to a unique cold-air induction system, sport-tuned exhaust and engine calibration.
Refinement was a key objective for every component during the design phase of the engine and was achieved by using advanced computer-aided engineering techniques. Structural, intake and exhaust areas of the engine are designed to deliver low levels of overall sound. Combined with the use of premium hydraulic powertrain mounts, the 2015 Dodge Charger delivers refinement in all powertrain applications and at all RPMs.
HEMI-powered: 370 best-in-class horsepower For the muscle-car enthusiast, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T and R/T Road & Track models feature the
legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with 370 best in-class horsepower, 395 lb.-ft. of torque and innovative four-cylinder mode Fuel Saver Technology.
For even more performance, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T Road & Track model sends the output of all eight cylinders through a unique 3.07 rear axle ratio (vs. the standard 2.62 rear axle ratio). Given the loads of power and torque, this performance model also includes a high-speed engine controller with unique engine and transmission calibrations, enabling a top speed of 145 mph and 0-60 mph bursts in less than 6 seconds.
The 2015 Dodge Charger R/T and R/T Road & Track models also include innovative Fuel Saver Technology, seamlessly alternating between smooth, high-fuel-economy four-cylinder mode when less power is needed and the power of all eight cylinders when demanded.
The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine also features variable-valve timing (VVT) to improve fuel economy in two ways. First, it reduces the engine’s pumping work by closing the intake valve later. Second, it increases the expansion process of the combustion event. This allows more work to be transferred to the wheels instead of being lost out of the exhaust port as heat. VVT improves engine breathing, which improves engine efficiency and power.
Best-in-class AWD fuel economy thanks to the segment’s most advanced AWD system From winding through twisty stretches of coastal road, to escaping away to a snow-covered ski resort, the 2015 Dodge Charger SE and SXT models with all-wheel drive (AWD) deliver best-in-class city and highway fuel economy (19/27 mpg), all while having a commanding design presence, and the power and all-weather capability to carve through some of the worst precipitation Mother Nature can dish out.
Dodge Charger’s intelligent AWD system features a segment-exclusive active transfer case and front-axle-disconnect system to improve real-world fuel economy. No other major automotive manufacturer offers the combination of these two independent technologies.
Dodge Charger’s AWD system seamlessly transitions between RWD and AWD with no driver intervention. When AWD is not required, the system automatically disconnects the front axle to maximize fuel economy, while still providing the outstanding fun-to-drive performance and handling inherent in RWD vehicles.
Enthusiast-inspired RWD architecture with advanced technological solutions As the Dodge brand’s performance flagship, the chassis of the all-new 2015 Dodge Charger is designed, engineered and fine-tuned to deliver world-class performance and efficiencies – thanks to its advanced technological solutions.
Super Track Pak – exclusive equipment on 2015 Charger R/T Road & TrackDodge knows its enthusiasts all want more performance, and the 2015 Charger R/T Road & Track model delivers with the Super Track Pak equipment standard.
The Super Track Pak elevates the standard Dodge Charger R/T model’s sport-tuned suspension and braking by adding performance suspension tuning, a high-performance brake package, high-performance steering, 3.07 rear-axle ratio and 20-by-8-inch dual five-spoke polished cast-aluminum wheels with black painted pockets and P245/45ZR20 BSW all-season performance tires (optional Goodyear F1 three-season tires). The package also includes Dodge Performance Pages.
All-new advanced electric power steering systemThe 2015 Dodge Charger features an advanced steering-column-mounted electric power steering (EPS) system that improves both handling and performance. The vehicle uses the latest EPS system technology available, which delivers sporty handling by managing significant loads at all steering wheel operating speeds, power assist curves modulated according to driving conditions and up to a 3 percent improvement in fuel efficiency, when compared with a conventional hydraulic system.
All of the power boost, or assist, is provided via an electric motor, and because the system is fully electronic, the driver experiences optimal steering effort at all vehicle speeds with improved fuel efficiency, since there is no parasitic loss from a power steering pump.
All-new, lighter weight axles for RWD and AWDBecause efficiency and agility are positively correlated, the 2015 Dodge Charger RWD and AWD models feature all-new cast aluminum axles and housing. Replacing the previous steel structure, the new aluminum axles and housing help to reduce weight. The new driveline is also designed to reduce parasitic friction and increase durability with a new four-bolt design (previously a three-bolt design).
Lightweight front suspension cradleAt the heart of the 2015 Dodge Charger’s front suspension is a rigid and lightweight suspension cradle made from tubular steel that features hydro-engine mounts to make the interior cabin smooth, comfortable and quiet. Premium hydro-bushings, monotube shock absorbers and a lower-front-shock-to-suspension-link bushing provide control, ride and comfort.
Rail-like cornering with roll-steer multilink rear suspensionDodge Charger’s five-link rear suspension design features roll-steer geometry to allow independent control of camber and toe suspension movement for world-class handling. The rear suspension cradle is the main attachment point for the Dodge Charger’s five-link independent rear suspension system.
Using rubber mounts, this hydroformed steel cradle provides an additional structure to isolate the passenger compartment from road and axle noise, vibration and harshness (NVH). Monotube shock absorbers, premium urethane jounce bumpers and suspension links with rubber shock absorber bushings all work together to deliver ride and comfort, while upper and lower spring-seat isolators provide additional dampening to deliver smooth suspension engagement over bumps.
Aggressive front- and rear-camber geometryPerformance handling requires maximum road-holding grip, and the Dodge Charger delivers with aggressive front- and rear-camber geometry. Set at -1.0 degrees in the front and -1.75 degrees in the rear, Dodge Charger is set up for high-speed cornering with its tires leaning inboard at the top relative to the body.

2015 Dodge Charger HERITAGE
Dodge Charger: Legendary Power, Styling And Performance
The Dodge Charger is an American icon. From its muscle-car performance roots, legendary styling and
racing heritage, to its modern-day performance with world-class engineering and technology — the
Dodge Charger has, and continues to be, one of the most competitive performance cars both on and off
the track. And with the best powertrains in the business, including the fearsome ―Elephant Motor‖ — the
426 HEMI® and the modern 6.4-liter HEMI, Dodge Charger continues to add to one of the most storied
nameplates in automotive history.
Dodge Charger’s legacy includes:
1964 Dodge Charger Concept Vehicle
Based on a two-door Dodge Polara, the 1964 Dodge Charger Concept Vehicle was a one-off, open-air
roadster built to help introduce the company’s new hemispherical head performance engine, the 426
HEMI. With its low windshield line, separate driver and passenger cabins, integrated sport bar with
headrest and bumper-less body, the handcrafted Dodge Charger Concept Vehicle was stunning.
At the time very few concept vehicles could actually be driven. Most were used as static design studies
to gauge consumer reactions on the auto show circuit. However, the Dodge brand insisted on making
the 1964 Dodge Charger a runner. With the company co-developing the HEMI engine with racing
teams, very few hand-built HEMI prototypes were available. Due to an unfortunate incident with one
race team’s engine blowing up, the Dodge Charger Concept Vehicle’s engine was given away. The
actual engine powering the futuristic Dodge Charger was the original 383 cubic-inch V-8 heart from the
donor Dodge Polara.
1965 Dodge Charger II Concept Vehicle (1965 Chicago Auto Show)
Designed to illustrate the advanced design direction of the Dodge brand, the 1965 Dodge Charger II
Concept Vehicle debuted at the 1965 Chicago Auto Show. Foreshadowing the 1966 production model’s
design cues, this one-off show car featured a clean fastback design with pronounced rear fins and rear
overhang. While the car featured a pillar-less daylight opening, the prominent C-pillar extended
rearward toward the tail lamps. Other key design features included pop-up headlights hidden behind a
full-width radiator grill, four bucket seats and full-width rear tail lamps.
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 2
1966 to 1967 (Generation: I)
The Dodge Charger was introduced on Jan. 1, 1966. Built off of the Dodge Coronet chassis but using
its own body, the new Charger was the Dodge brand’s first production fastback, high-speed street
racer. It featured many styling cues from the Charger II concept car, like a fastback roof design and full-
width tail lamps. The interior featured four bucket seats and a full-length center console.
The first-generation Dodge Charger came with a standard 318 cubic-inch V-8 engine that delivered 230
horsepower. Other available engines included a 361 cubic-inch V-8 engine, which delivered 265
horsepower or a 383 cubic-inch V-8 engine that delivered 325 horsepower. However, it was the
availability of the massive 426 cubic-inch ―Street‖ HEMI V-8 engine that provided 425 horsepower and
490 lb.-ft. of torque that forever defined Dodge Charger as a performance car.
The HEMI V-8 engine was already a legend in the mid-1960s as Chrysler Corporation cars dominated
NASCAR. However, in 1965 NASCAR banned the HEMI engine, as it did not follow the new guidelines
mandating that engines had to be available for serial production. The company boycotted the racing
season.
Minor updates were added to the Dodge Charger in 1967, including the addition of small front fender
turn indicators and a vinyl roof option. Underneath the crisp two-door styling, a collapsible steering
column and dual-system master cylinder became standard equipment to meet the arrival of U.S.
Federal Safety regulations.
From the marketing perspective, the Dodge brand abandoned its ―Join the Rebellion‖ theme and moved
forward with a performance-oriented ―Road & Track‖ theme.
1968 to 1970 (Generation: II)
The second-generation Dodge Charger arrived in 1968 with all-new styling. Dodge designers and
engineers were tasked to create and develop a performance coupe that looked ready to race on
Daytona’s high banks, but still be driven on the streets.
The result was an exterior design with a ―double diamond‖ or horizontal ―Coke bottle‖ silhouette, a
reference to the new design’s muscular bulges above the front- and rear-wheel wells. Further
enhancing the sleek design was a ―flying buttress‖ or swept-back tunneled roof lines around the rear
glass. Sculptural twin scallops on the hood and doors created more dramatic surfaces than most slab-
sided vehicles of the era. Other notable design features included a contrasting vinyl roof and flip-top
gas cap.

Inside, the 1968 Dodge Charger’s all-new interior featured front bucket seats with an optional
cushioned center console. Improvement in passenger safety and comfort included the addition of an
energy-absorbing instrument panel and seats.
The new second-generation Dodge Charger was a sales success, with a 343 percent sales increase
compared with the 1967 model. With this success also came fame, and in 1968 the Dodge Charger
made its film debut in the movie ―Bullitt‖ starring Steve McQueen. The movie featured a black Dodge
Charger R/T with a black vinyl top and the powerful 440 Magnum V-8 engine with a four-speed
transmission.
Extensive use of wind tunnel testing and advanced research allowed Dodge Charger engineers to have
a leg-up in NASCAR competition. As a consequence of aerodynamic testing — a first by any auto
manufacturer in NASCAR — development and implementation of a rear spoiler and front air dam were
added to Dodge Charger race cars to increase down force on the track.
Keeping the second-generation Dodge Charger fresh, the 1969 model year featured several
evolutionary styling changes, including a revised front grille with a center divider, which created two
smaller symmetric rectangular grilles. Round turn signals and tail lamps were replaced with rectangular
units.
In an effort to give the 1969 Dodge Charger more personality, the Special Edition (SE) package was
brought to market. This package included leather and vinyl seating options, wood grain trim, deep-dish
wheel covers, hood-mounted turn indicators, and ―Special Edition‖ badging on the C-pillars. This
package was available on all models and would be the only year it would also be available on the base
vehicle.
A late 1969 model year introduction was the Performance Hood option that consisted of bold graphics
that clearly called out a ―426 HEMI‖ or ―440 Six-pack‖ engine under the hood. (Later model year Dodge
Chargers featured performance hoods with functional hood scoops and air dams that allowed cool air to
be drawn into the engine. The result was an improvement in performance and horsepower. These
functional performance hoods featured manual controls often located on the instrument panel, allowing
the driver to manually open and close the baffles as needed.)
From a powertrain perspective, the 225 cubic-inch ―Slant Six‖ became the standard engine. It delivered
145 horsepower. During the 1969 model year, fewer than 2 percent of all Dodge Chargers were
produced with the 426 HEMI V-8 engine, yet it contributed immensely to the lineup’s performance
image.
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 4
The 1969 Dodge Charger gained fame as the tire-squealing getaway car driven by Bo and Luke Duke
for seven seasons on the TV series, Dukes of Hazzard.
Continuing to pioneer aerodynamic development, the new 1969 Dodge Charger 500 model was
introduced solely for NASCAR with a flush rear window for a reduced drag coefficient. Taking
aerodynamic design and engineering to new heights, Dodge introduced the Charger Daytona model.
The Dodge Charger Daytona featured a large aerodynamic nosepiece along with a huge winged spoiler
that stood 58 inches above the base of the trunk. All Dodge Charger Daytona models were powered by
the 440 Magnum or 426 HEMI engine. The Dodge Charger Daytona won its first NASCAR Grand
National race at Talladega (Ala.) followed by a win at Texas International Speedway. From September
1969 into the following year, Dodge Charger 500 and Charger Daytona race cars combined to win 45
out of the next 59 races in NASCAR.
The Dodge Charger 500 and Charger Daytona eventually forced NASCAR to implement power
restrictions on HEMI-equipped Dodge Charger race cars. To restrict engine power, NASCAR used
carburetor restrictor plates on the HEMI engine and limited its engine displacement to a maximum of
305 cubic-inches on Charger Daytona models.
NASCAR was not the only force curbing the performance of muscle cars. By 1970, government and
insurance companies regarded muscle cars as ―high risk‖ vehicles.
Dodge Charger received another set of minor styling changes for 1970. The coupe now sported a full-
width single opening grille, accented by a scripted ―Charger‖ badge. Driver and passenger door
scallops continued on all models, while the R/T model received rearward facing fiber glass scoops with
a large ―R/T‖ emblem. Additional customization options included a redesigned rear Bumble-Bee stripe
that was changed to a single solid line design available in 18 accent colors.
New for the 1970 Dodge Charger base model was a split-back vinyl bench seat, while the Charger R/T
and 500 models continued with sport bucket seats. Minor modifications were also made to interior door
panels and included the ―Charger‖ script badging.
Only three Dodge Charger trim levels were offered in 1970 — base, R/T and 500 — which was now
only related to its racing ancestor through name.
On the track in 1970, racecar driver Buddy Baker became the first to top the 200 mph mark behind the
wheel of a HEMI-powered Dodge Charger. The feat was accomplished on a closed-circuit course.
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 5
Bobby Issac won the NASCAR championship driving a Charger 500 and Daytona, including 27 records
at Bonneville using the Daytona.
1971 to 1974 (Generation: III)
The all-new third-generation Dodge Charger featured a 2-inch shorter wheelbase, while its overall
length decreased by 3 inches. With two unique floor pans, the 1971 Dodge Charger created the basis
for the replacement of the Dodge Cornet coupe. Designers and product planners believed combining
both nameplates with a common architecture would provide four-door customers better legroom, while
delivering sporty coupe styling that enthusiasts craved. Dodge enthusiasts worried that this third-
generation Dodge Charger would ruin the legendary nameplate, but the 1971 model went on to outsell
the original version.
The restyled 1971 Dodge Charger featured many design cues from the original model, while the overall
appearance was more contemporary. Its coupe design evolved into an integrated and sleek look with a
semi-fastback roofline and body-color wrap-around bumpers available on new Dodge Charger R/T and
performance Super Bee models.
High-performance cars were becoming less popular, and 1971 would be the last model year for a
hardcore performance-equipped Dodge Charger. In response to stricter government regulations on
insurance, fuel economy and emissions, the Dodge brand offered the Charger with the respectable
performing 340 cubic-inch engine, the 225 cubic-inch Slant Six, a 318 cubic-inch V-8 and a 383 cubic-
inch engine available in two- or four-barrel configurations. In keeping with the Dodge Charger’s
performance tradition, a new ―Ramcharger‖ vacuum-operated hood scoop was available and provided
cooler ambient air into the engine for improved power and performance.
Due to increasing emissions and insurance regulations, the automotive industry moved to low-lead
gasoline, and the HEMI engine was phased out in 1971. This was the last year customers could order a
factory-built Dodge Charger equipped with a HEMI.
The 1971 Dodge Charger model lineup was expanded to six models: base, hardtop, 500, SE, R/T,
Super Bee and a Road Runner imitation that was positioned as a Dodge Charger street racer.
Since there was no longer a unique Dodge Cornet model, a de-contented entry-level model Dodge
Charger was added and featured a basic instrument panel and vinyl bench seats.
Aligning with changing customer demands, the 1971 Dodge Charger 500 was repositioned in the lineup
to deliver more performance styling than actual performance. This would be the final year of the Dodge
Charger 500.
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 6
Dodge brand’s biggest seller in 1971 was the Charger SE. This model was equipped with many of the
features from the previous Dodge Charger SE, but replaced bucket seats with cloth and vinyl split-back
bench seats. Other features that were added to the vehicle included an ignition lock, chromed pedals
and an inside hood release. Available powertrain options for this volume model included the 318 cubic-
inch V-8 engine all the way up to the 440 Magnum V-8 engine (The 440 Six Pack and HEMI V-8
engines were not available on the SE model).
The 1971 model year would also be the last appearance of the Dodge Charger R/T model. The Dodge
Charger R/T was distinguished by its louvered dome hood with flat black accent paint and ―R/T‖ logo
decal. Additional features included bold horizontal bodyside stripes, heavy-duty suspension and 440
Magnum V-8 engine with a column-mounted shifter (a manual floor mounted shifter was available as a
no-cost option).
On the track in 1971, the Dodge Charger Daytona entered the Daytona 500 with a 305-cubic-inch
engine with driver Dick Brooks at the wheel. The vehicle qualified for the race and even led for a time,
but in the end, managed to place only seventh. This would be the last Dodge Daytona model to race at
Daytona.
As muscle cars were falling in popularity, the high-performance Dodge Charger R/T and Super Bee
models were dropped, while a new Rallye package was added for 1972. The new Rallye package
continued to position the Dodge Charger as a muscle car with its sculpted grille, scalloped doors, black-
out tape and multi-louvered tail lamps (inspired by earlier Dodge Charger models) but lacked the
hardcore performance muscle-car enthusiasts craved. In reality, the new Dodge Charger Rallye
package delivered better handling than the previous year’s Dodge Charger R/T.
Exterior updates for the 1972 model year included the addition of hidden flip-up headlamps on the
Dodge Charger SE and a new vinyl-covered roof. This model year also offered up to 18 exterior colors,
including high-impact colors: Hemi Orange and Top Banana.
Finishing the 1972 model year, three specialty packages were added to the Dodge Charger SE lineup
as a dealer incentive. The popular and highly contented ―A07‖ package included power steering, power
front-disc brakes, AM radio with rear speakers, variable-speed wipers, air conditioning, electrical clock,
tinted glass, rear-window defogger and the Brougham package. These ―luxury Chargers‖ were far more
popular than the Dodge Charger SE Topper and Topper X packages that also were available.
By 1973, Dodge Charger was the brand’s second best-selling model (behind the Dodge Dart).
Important model updates included an increase in overall length by 7 inches (mostly gained in the rear
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 7
quarter panels), a new crosshatched-pattern front grille and multi-louvered tail lamps. A new roof
design with movable rear-quarter windows allowed for new canted louvers to give Dodge Charger a
sportier look. At the end of the model year, a no-cost ―halo roof‖ option featured a vinyl roof that did not
extend as far down the body side of the coupe.
Powertrain options for the 1973 Dodge Charger models were similar to the previous year. The entry-
level Dodge Charger continued with the 225 cubic-inch six-cylinder engine that delivered 105
horsepower. The Dodge Charger SE and Rallye package coupes featured the 318 cubic-inch V-8
engine. Engine options included the 340 cubic-inch V-8, the 400 cubic-inch V-8 available with a two- or
four-barrel carburetor and the de-tuned 440 cubic-inch four barrel V-8 (which lost its Magnum status for
1973).
The 1974 Dodge Charger would be the last model year that had any enthusiast appeal or performance.
The success of the luxurious Dodge Charger SE of late 1972 and 1973 caused the Dodge brand to
neglect marketing models like the Dodge Charger Rallye.
No longer a powerful and nimble performance coupe, the 1974 Dodge Charger grew one more time to
implement new federally mandated 5 mph impact standards, while its powertrain options carried over
from the previous year.
Matching the now comfort-over-performance coupe was the introduction of Dodge Charger ―Spring
Special,‖ which included earthtone paint colors like Sienna Metallic, Black Parchment and Dark
Moonstone. Topping off the more luxurious look was an elegant body-side stripe in Parchment Brown.
Inside these special models received unique interior surfaces in cloth and vinyl.
1975 to 1978 (Generation: IV)
With the oil embargo and fuel shortages, fuel economy took priority over performance, and the all-new
fourth-generation Dodge Charger was far from the aggressive coupes offered in the late 1960s.
With more than 55 percent of Dodge Chargers sold in 1974 as SE models, the 1975 Dodge Charger
was completely restyled and featured a more formal and elegant appearance. Based on the Chrysler
Cordoba, the new Dodge Charger SE (only model available in 1975) shared nearly identical styling
cues. The face of the new coupe featured two single headlamps set into the body with corresponding
hood-forms for an integrated look. Overall design elements focused on luxury and included a vinyl roof,
wire-spoke hubcaps, plush vinyl bucket seats, center armrest and the availability of premium cloth
seats for an upscale look and feel.
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 8
Powertrain choices for the 1975 Dodge Charger SE consisted of a 360 cubic-inch V-8 engine, a 318
cubic-inch V-8 engine and, later, a 400 cubic-inch V-8 engine with either two- or four-barrel carburetor.
Hoping to revive the Dodge brand and Charger nameplate with more excitement, the Daytona model
returned for the 1976 model year. While the Dodge Charger Daytona was a NASCAR legend, the new
model was more like a two-toned Dodge Charger SE.
Minimal interior and exterior changes made the 1976 Dodge Charger a carry-over model. One
additional change to the lineup included new Dodge Charger base and Sport models, which in reality
fused the Dodge Cornet models back into the Dodge Charger lineup again.
The Midnight Charger Special was the highlight of the 1977 model year and featured an array of
different design elements, including a unique plastic front fascia with body-color grille, body-color
exterior racing mirrors and open air T-top roof with removable roof panels. Leather-trimmed seating
was standard inside this special edition Dodge Charger.
Dodge Charger SE and the two-tone Dodge Charger Daytona, now with large body-side decals, were
the only two models left. The Dodge Charger base and Sport models were replaced with the new
Dodge Monaco, simply a renamed Dodge Coronet-based coupe.
The last year for a rear-wheel-drive Dodge Charger was 1978. The Dodge Charger Daytona was
dropped from the lineup and minimal changes were made to the Dodge Charger SE. But the Dodge
brand gave one last effort with the introduction of a new sporty model dubbed the Dodge Magnum XE.
This new Dodge Charger-based coupe featured a slightly flared body side, horizontal three bar grille
and rectangular flip-up quad headlamps.
1981 to 1987 (Generation: V)
Based on the efficient and economical front-wheel-drive Dodge Omni and Dodge Omni 024 coupe, the
fifth-generation Dodge Charger (now a 2+2 hatchback) appeared for the 1981 model year. Designed by
Chrysler Corporation’s European design and engineering team, this fifth-generation coupe was far
removed from its large rear-wheel-drive predecessors.
The standard powertrain in this new fuel-efficient Dodge Charger was a transverse-mounted 1.7-liter
four-cylinder engine built by Volkswagen (a Peugeot-built 1.6-liter four cylinder would replace it in
1984). The more powerful Dodge Charger 2.2 model featured a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine with a five-
speed manual transmission.
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 9
The Dodge Charger 2.2 model marked the return of unique performance graphics and body work. The
Dodge Charger 2.2 featured a performance hood with simulated hood scoop, front fender vents,
integrated rear-lip spoiler, blacked-out daylight-opening trim, steel-belted tires with outlined white
lettering and special ―Charger 2.2‖ horizontal body-side graphics.
Adding more performance and excitement, the mid-1982 model year Dodge Shelby Charger was built
with performance-tuned know-how from racing veteran Carroll Shelby. Starting with the Dodge Charger
2.2 model, the vehicle featured performance enhancements, including an aggressive front fascia with
lip spoiler, lower body-side sills, large 15-inch aluminum wheels with wide Goodyear Eagle GT tires,
heavy-duty shocks, sport springs, one-piece rear-quarter window, color-keyed bucket seats with Carroll
Shelby’s famed ―CS‖ logo, center floor console and repositioned brake and accelerator pedals for heel-
toe shifting. Under the hood, the 2.2-liter engine featured a higher compression ratio, wider cam, free-
flow exhaust system and an optimized engine controller good for 13 more horsepower (107 compared
to 94) and 10 more lb.-ft. of torque (127 compared to 117). Finishing off this special model was Carroll
Shelby’s race colors: silver exterior paint with blue accent decals or blue exterior paint with silver accent
decals.
For the 1985 model year, the Dodge Shelby Turbo Charger featured more athletic exterior styling,
multi-port fuel injection, low-restriction performance exhaust and the availability of a 2.2-liter
turbocharged engine with 7.5 psi of boost. The Dodge Charger 2.2 also received more power as its 2.2-
liter normally aspirated four-cylinder was boosted to 110 horsepower.
The last year of the hatchback-based Dodge Charger was the 1987 model year. Similar to the five-door
Dodge Omni GLHS models (Goes Like Hell, Some-more); Carroll Shelby purchased the last 1,000
Dodge Turbo Chargers and converted them into Dodge Shelby Charger GLHS models. These final
front-wheel-drive models delivered 175 horsepower, 175 lb.-ft. of torque and performed 0-to-60 mph
runs in less than 7 seconds.
1999 Dodge Charger R/T Concept Vehicle (1999 North American International Auto Show)
After a 12-year hiatus, the Dodge brand would pay homage to the performance Dodge Chargers of the
muscle-car era and debuted a completely modern, rear-wheel-drive Dodge Charger at the 1999 North
American International Auto Show in Detroit. Due to the overall proportions of the concept vehicle,
Dodge designers took the opportunity to develop the concept vehicle into a fastback four-door
performance coupe.
Design elements of this one-off Dodge Charger R/T were inspired by second-generation models and
included exaggerated muscular ―Coke bottle‖ bodysides and flying buttress around the rear window.
Modern performance cues included big offset shoulders over the rear wheels, a low-to-the-ground
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 10
menacing front fascia, functional door scallops (inspired by the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T and 1990s
Dodge Viper models) and wide rear fascia with two center-mounted exhaust tips.
Inside, the Dodge Charger Concept Vehicle was inspired by fighter jets. With a focus on performance
driving, a unique cockpit design included a pistol-grip shifter (similar to a fighter pilot’s joystick) and an
instrument panel wrapped around the driver. Some late-1960 Dodge Charger cues included the large
rotary radio dials, three-spoke steering wheel and ―R/T‖ badge over the glove compartment. Functional
lightweight materials included carbon-fiber constructed performance seats, while accelerator, brake and
clutch pedals featured machined aluminum. Completing the performance look was an integrated roll
cage and rear bucket seats.
The 1999 Dodge Charger R/T Concept Vehicle showcased an environmentally friendly, high-
performance Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powertrain. An advanced storage tank design allowed
the concept vehicle to achieve a 300-mile range through its longitudinal-mounted 4.7-liter V-8 engine.
Adding to the former Chrysler Corporation’s list of CNG-firsts, the Dodge Charger R/T concept vehicle
featured an integrated three-cell CNG storage system lined with advanced gas-impermeable high
density polyurethane thermoplastic in a hybrid mix of high-strength carbon and super-tough glass
filaments. With pressure topping 3,600 psi, the three-cell storage system featured unique egg-crate
style foam to absorb energy in the event of a possible impact.
Returning to the nameplate’s performance history, the Dodge Charger Concept Vehicle was 15 inches
shorter than the current full-sized Dodge Intrepid sedan, for a tight, aggressive and athletic look. With
its five-spoke aluminum 19-inch front and wider 20-inch rear wheels, this Dodge street machine looked
track-ready. And at 3,000 lbs., the concept was 650 lbs. lighter than the original 1966 Dodge Charger.
Keeping the car grounded were modified upper- and lower-control arms from the iconic Plymouth
Prowler and four-piston front and two-piston rear brakes from the race-proven Dodge Viper.
2006 to 2010 (Generation: VI)
The Dodge Charger — one of the most legendary names from the muscle-car era — powered its way
out of its storied past and onto the stage at the 2005 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The new sixth-generation Dodge Charger led the way for the Dodge brand with aggressive styling in a
modern coupe and integrated the 1999 concept vehicle’s four-door functionality. With its bold front,
strong shoulders and fastback D-pillars, the new Dodge Charger excited muscle-car enthusiasts, while
the car’s modern performance, handling and power completed the package.
The 2006 Dodge Charger’s interior featured a driver-oriented cockpit designed for performance. A sleek
and simple instrument panel featured Viper-inspired tunneled gauges highlighted by white faces and
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 11
satin-silver accent rings. A silver trim bezel surrounding the shifter and additional silver accents in the
center stack added contrast.
The new four-door Dodge Charger created a new reputation for the Dodge legend. Loaded with 21st
century performance, safety and security, and technologies, the new 2006 Dodge Charger raised the
bar in the large-car segment. Moving back to rear-wheel drive allowed the Dodge Charger to have near
50/50 weight distribution and superb ride and responsive handling in all surface and traction conditions.
Making rear-wheel drive perform well in all seasons was Dodge Charger’s standard electronic stability
control (ESC). This enhanced electronic driver control system maintained the Dodge Charger’s
directional stability in adverse driving conditions automatically. ESC, combined with an anti-lock brake
system (ABS) and all-speed traction control with emergency Brake Assist, improved the Dodge
Charger’s traction, maneuverability and stability in all weather conditions.
Dodge Charger’s powertrain lineup delivered substance without sacrificing the convenience and
efficiency needed in a modern sedan. A 250-horsepower High Output 3.5-liter V-6 engine and five-
speed Auto Stick transmission was available on Dodge Charger SE and SXT models. Returning to its
muscle-car roots was an all-new 340-horsepower HEMI V-8 engine available in Dodge Charger R/T
models. This new HEMI featured an advanced multi-displacement system (MDS), which seamlessly
deactivated the engine’s eight cylinders to four cylinders when full V-8 power was not needed. As a
result, MDS technology improved overall fuel economy by 20 percent.
Later in the 2006 model year, the Dodge Charger R/T Daytona returned, this time with performance to
back up its storied nameplate. In addition to high-impact paint colors ―Go ManGo!,‖ ―Top Banana‖ and
―TorRed,‖ the 2006 Dodge Daytona R/T limited-edition model featured a performance exhaust with a
350 horsepower HEMI V-8 engine with HEMI orange engine cover, performance seating with
perforated suede, performance-tuned suspension with height control, 18-inch polished aluminum
wheels with black-painted pockets, front fascia with chin spoiler, rear air diffuser, black honeycomb
grille, unique black ―Daytona‖ and ―HEMI‖ decals, black rear deck-lid spoiler and signature heritage R/T
badge in red.
Riding the waves of Dodge’s success in NASCAR Nextel Cup Series racing since returning to the sport
in 2001, the new Dodge Charger race car made its NASCAR Nextel Cup Series debut at the 2006
Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway. Four Dodge factory backed teams, including 10
drivers, competed in the 2006 Daytona 500.
Next-level performance made the 2007 Dodge Charger model year the most exciting since the days of
the legendary 426 HEMI V-8. The all-new Dodge Charger SRT8 offered a complete performance
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 12
approach with its infusion of Street and Racing Technology (SRT) DNA into the Dodge formula of ―bold,
powerful and capable.‖
With the Dodge Charger R/T as its starting point, the SRT8 model added a 6.1-liter, 425-horsepower
HEMI V-8 engine delivering more horsepower-per-liter than any vehicle Dodge had offered before it.
Add in its world-class ride and handling, Brembo® brake system with benchmark performance,
functional and aggressive-looking exterior enhancements and a race-inspired interior and the Dodge
Charger SRT8 delivered all-around remarkable performance in a muscle sedan: 0-60 mph in the low 5-
second range, quarter-mile time in under 14 seconds, braking distance from 60 mph in approximately
110 feet and 0.89 g on the skid pad. The Dodge Charger SRT8 was also capable of accomplishing
SRT’s signature performance test of 0-100-0 mph in less than 17 seconds.
Taking the all-new Dodge Charger SRT8 to the extreme was another blast-from-the-past name, the
Super Bee. In addition to the standard features on the Dodge Charger SRT8, the limited-production run
of 1,000 Super Bee special-edition models added unique Detonator Yellow exterior paint, flat-black
SRT hood accents, flat-black rear deck-lid accent, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats,
automatic headlights, one-touch power front windows, cabin air filtration, Detonator Yellow body-color
accent stitching on steering wheel and shift knob, ―Super Bee‖ graphic on doors, rear quarters and rear
fascia, ―Super Bee‖ emblem on front fenders, body-color HEMI decal on hood bulge and fully-polished
SRT8 performance wheels. Following Detonator Yellow, a limited production run of 300 Super Bee
models in Plum Crazy exterior paint arrived at the end of the 2007 model year.
The Dodge Charger SE, SXT and R/T lineup was mostly unchanged in its second model year. The
Dodge Charger SE now offered a lower priced 2.7-liter V-6 engine with 190 horsepower and a fuel
economy rating of 21 city and 28 highway miles per gallon (mpg). This engine featured a four-speed
automatic transmission.
Available on 2007 Dodge Charger SXT and R/T models was an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system for
maximum traction in all-weather driving. The AWD models added 18-inch polished-aluminum wheels,
19-gallon fuel tank, front differential and transfer case, performance disc brakes and unique all-wheel-
drive suspension.
An available Road/Track Performance Group elevated performance for the rear-wheel-drive Dodge
Charger R/T and brought the model closer to its Daytona sibling. The new package included perforated
seats with suede inserts, automatic temperature control, heated front seats, eight-way power
passenger seat, express up-down front windows, automatic headlamps, rear-deck lid and front-fascia
spoilers, performance steering and suspension with load-leveling and height-control, 20-inch chrome-
clad aluminum wheels with 245/45ZR20 Goodyear RS-A all-season performance tires, performance
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 13
brakes and performance exhaust and induction system and 10 additional horsepower to the HEMI V-8
engine.
High-impact paint colors for the 2007 model year included 1,650 Sublime and 1,520 Plum Crazy Dodge
Charger R/T Daytona limited-edition models.
The Dodge brand added many interior improvements to the 2008 Dodge Charger for even more driver
and passenger comfort. These changes included soft-touch surfaces on the arm rests, center console
and door trim and a newly designed instrument panel and instrument cluster. The center console also
was redesigned with satin accents and optional LED lighting in the front cup holders. LED lighting also
was available in the front and rear door-map pockets.
New infotainment and connectivity features were added to the 2008 Dodge Charger, including Media
Center 730N with 30-gigabyte hard drive, GPS navigation, touch-screen monitor and real-time traffic. In
addition to Uconnect Phone with Bluetooth connectivity, the Charger now added iPod Control with
steering wheel mounted audio controls. (Something’s missing in this previous sentence) Other
entertainment features included a rear-seat Video Entertainment System (VES™) with segment-
exclusive SIRIUS Backseat TV™.
High-impact paint colors for the 2008 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona included 1,750 vehicles in vivid
HEMI Orange, while 1,000 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee models were painted in nostalgic B5 Blue.
For the 2009 model year, the all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger models added an active transfer case and
front-axle disconnect. No other major manufacturer offered these two independent technologies
together. The world-class driveline system seamlessly transitioned between rear-wheel drive and all-
wheel drive with no driver intervention. When all-wheel drive was not required, the system automatically
disconnected the front axle and opened the transfer case to reduce friction and rotational mass. In
addition, this automatic all-wheel-drive system could be activated by cold outside temperatures, wheel
slip or other predetermined conditions.
Improved fuel efficiency and increased horsepower came from a new-generation 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8
engine. With the new-generation 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine, the 2009 Dodge Charger R/T models
produced 368 horsepower and 395 lb.-ft. of torque. Fuel-saving MDS was still included. To inform the
driver when he or she was driving in four-cylinder mode, the instrument cluster now displayed ―ECO‖
when the switch was made.
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 14
The tail lamps of the 2009 Dodge Charger were refreshed with a bold, retro-style design that was
distinctively Dodge. Recessed circle cutouts gave the tail lamps added dimension over the previous
design and provided enhanced definition to each tail lamp’s two circular lamps.
Only 475 copies of the 2009 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona in Stone White and 425 Dodge Charger
SRT8 Super Bees in HEMI Orange were produced. This would be the last year of both high-
performance models.
The Super Track Pak was announced in late 2009 for the 2010 model year. Available only on the
Dodge Charger R/T with Road/Track Performance Group, this track-ready performance package
featured more driving excitement with 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires, front and rear
Nivomat self-leveling shock absorbers, a larger rear stabilizer bar, a 3.06 rear-axle ratio and three-
mode ESC with full ―ESC-off.‖
Delivering more excitement, functionality and value, the late-2010 Dodge Charger lineup was
repositioned to offer all-new models and packages targeted at individual customer lifestyles. Gone were
the Dodge Charger SE and SXT stacking price class models. These all-new Dodge Charger packages
featured upgraded equipment with popular customer features, including available all-wheel drive, at a
more affordable price.
The new entry-level Dodge Charger 3.5 model gave customers looking for style, convenience and
affordability a slew of standard features, including a 24-valve 3.5-liter V-6 engine, ESC, ABS, all-speed
traction control, SIRIUS Satellite Radio and chromed crosshair grille. For customers looking for more
all-weather capability and value, the 2010 Dodge Charger 3.5 AWD included all the standard features
of the rear-wheel-drive model and added an advance all-wheel-drive system.
Delivering solid performance, handling and utility, the new 2010 Dodge Charger Rallye model delivered
more aggressive styling and improved on-road handling than the old SXT model. The Dodge Charger
Rallye included a 3.5-liter V-6 engine, touring-tuned suspension, 18-inch aluminum wheels, rear sway
bar and rear deck-lid spoiler. For even more style and feel-of-the-road, 20-inch chrome-clad aluminum
wheels with P245/45R20 Goodyear Eagle RS-A all-season performance tires were optional. A new
Chrome & Leather package available on Dodge Charger Rallye added Royale leather seats, 18-inch
chrome-clad aluminum wheels, power leather-trimmed heated front seats, leather-wrapped steering
wheel and shift knob, dual-zone automatic temperature control, automatic headlamps, express-
up/down front windows and Boston Acoustics six-speaker system with 276-watt digital signal
processing (DSP) amplifier.

Keeping the performance heritage in the lineup, the Dodge Charger R/T name remained, but added the
Media Center 430 touchscreen radio with 30-gigabyte hard drive for media storage, iPod Control,
Uconnect Phone for handsfree calling, auto-dimming rearview mirror and rear deck-lid spoiler. A new
R/T Chrome & Tunes package available on the Dodge Charger R/T added 18-inch chrome-clad
wheels, security alarm, Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), ―fuel-saver mode‖ display,
steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, HomeLink universal transceiver, remote start, LED-illuminated
cup holders and door map pockets and a 5.1-channel Boston Acoustics eight-speaker audio system
with 368-watt Digital Signal Processing (DSP) amp.
2011-2014 (Generation: VII)
In 2011, Dodge changed the rules of the game with an all-new Charger that embodied the brand’s
promise to deliver American performance machines that delivered world-class efficiency, technology,
authentic materials and standout styling to customers. The new efficient and aerodynamic exterior of
the seventh-generation Dodge Charger was heavily inspired by the classic second-generation Charger
from the late 1960s, featuring a design that struck the emotional chords of Dodge performance
enthusiasts of all generations. Defining Charger’s wide stance was a signature tail lamp design that
incorporated 164 individual illuminating LEDs to form a signature racetrack graphic.
The 2011 Dodge Charger was available in three models: Dodge Charger SE, Dodge Charger R/T and
Dodge Charger R/T AWD. Engineered to perform, the 2011 Dodge Charger SE featured the all-new
Pentastar V-6 engine instead of the previous two V-6 offerings. The new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine
delivered 292 horsepower (up 63 percent) and 260 lb.-ft. of torque (up 36 percent) compared with the
previous entry-level 2.7-liter V-6 engine.
Delivering 370 best-in-class horsepower with its legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with four-cylinder
mode Fuel Saver Technology, Charger R/T models had a performance-tuned suspension with larger
performance-disc brakes. For maximum all-season traction with world-class ride, the 2011 Dodge
Charger R/T AWD was a true year-round performance car.
Charger’s interior was crafted in world-class materials for comfort, craftsmanship and style, thanks to
premium soft-touch materials and four available distinct interior color combinations. The 2011 Dodge
Charger’s state-of-the-art Uconnect Touch integrated world-class infotainment and convenience
technologies to keep passengers connected, comfortable and secure.
With features ranging from touchscreen navigation to dual-zone climate controls, to the ability to check
fuel prices, Dodge Charger offered four Uconnect Touch (4.3- and 8.4-inch) models, all featuring easy-
to-use controls to provide class-leading technology. The premium Uconnect Touch 8.4N model enabled
more customer-convenient amenities than ever before, including the integration of segment-leading
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 16
Garmin navigation and SiriusXM Travel Link with real-time fuel prices, movie listings, sports updates
and weather.
Chrysler Group LLC’s Mopar Division launched the Mopar ’11 Charger, a 1,000-unit, limited-edition
Dodge Charger outfitted with select high-performance parts and appearance items straight from the
Mopar parts catalog. Available only in a ―Pitch Black‖ finish with a pair of Mopar Blue racing stripes, it
included numerous power and handling Mopar performance parts, as well as unique exterior and
interior trim.
In addition, Dodge offered distinct lifestyle packages (Rallye, Rallye Plus, R/T Plus, R/T Road & Track
and R/T Max) designed to give Charger customers high-value content for their specific needs.
For 2012, the Dodge Charger lineup was simplified to include SE, SXT and R/T models, as well as the
high-performance SRT8. These models offered technology, performance and value-packed feature
packages to help customers equip their Dodge Charger to their exact vehicle needs.
The Dodge brand stormed ahead in transmission technology for the 2012 Dodge Charger with the
introduction of the eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering a best-in-class 31 miles per gallon
(mpg) highway. The state-of-the-art ZF eight-speed automatic transmission was available on rear-
wheel and all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger models equipped with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine.
Delivering up to a 17 percent fuel economy improvement compared with the previous generation six-
cylinder Dodge Charger AWD, the 2012 Dodge Charger SXT and SXT Plus AWD combined the eight-
speed automatic transmission, fuel-efficient 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine and the segment’s most
advanced AWD system for maximum all-weather traction and efficiency. Dodge Charger’s AWD system
featured a segment-exclusive active transfer case and front-axle-disconnect system to improve real-
world fuel economy. Dodge Charger’s innovative AWD system seamlessly transitioned between rear-
wheel drive and AWD with no driver intervention.
Delivering even more street-cred and sinister attitude to the 2012 SXT and SXT Plus, the new 2012
Dodge Charger Blacktop featured a ―blacked out‖ appearance, performance-tuned suspension and
state-of-the-art infotainment system. A new Charger R/T Road & Track package was designed for
hard-core enthusiasts who craved even more performance from their 370 horsepower HEMI V-8
powered Dodge Charger R/T. The R/T Road & Track package added new die-cast zinc steering-wheel
mounted paddle shifters, a black honeycomb-style grille with matte surround and heritage ―R/T‖ badge,
20-inch chrome-clad wheels, rear differential with 3.06 axle ratio, performance engine and transmission
calibration and high-speed engine controller.
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 17
The Dodge Charger SRT8® marked a return to the performance car market in 2012 bringing intelligent
performance features and more power to the brand’s iconic four-door fastback coupe. New for the 2012
Charger SRT8 was the 470 horsepower 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 that featured 45 more horsepower and 50
more lb.-ft. of torque across a significantly wider rpm range, new exhaust system technology for
improved fuel efficiency, along with new paddle shift technology and adaptive damping suspension for
optimal driver control.
A standard adaptive damping suspension (ADS) system for 2012 was tuned specifically for the Dodge
Charger SRT8. When drivers manually chose between the ―Auto‖ and ―Sport‖ settings, the shock
damping characteristics quickly changed from an everyday performance ride to a much firmer race
track capable damping setting. World-class stopping power from 60-0 mph in 120 feet came through
14.2 inch (front) and 13.8 inch (rear) vented/slotted rotors with four-piston Brembo calipers painted red.
The limited-production 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee was available in either Stinger Yellow or
Pitch Black exterior paint with special Super Bee graphics, and reflected a specially designed modern
and extroverted interpretation of the legendary Super Bee performance built for the enthusiast who
enjoys a vehicle with one mission in mind – to go fast.
The changes continued on for the 2013 Dodge Charger. A new cold-air induction system and sport-
tuned exhaust on 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine raised output to 300 horsepower (eight more horses
than 2012) on Charger SXT and SXT Plus models with Rallye Appearance Group and Blacktop
Package. The award-winning Uconnect 8.4N with easy-to-use Garmin navigation now featured
enhanced 3-D map and route guidance graphics, and studio-quality sound from the new Beats by Dr.
Dre audio system delivered a music experience the way the artist intended.
The limited-production 2013 Dodge Charger Daytona was available in a Blue, Bright White, Billet Silver
or Pitch Black, and featured special dark trim and performance enhancements that built upon the
Charger’s iconic muscle car design. Only 2,500 Dodge Charger Daytona models were offered in the
United States – each with a serialized dash plaque.
The new 2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport model was available on the Dodge Charger SXT and SXT
Plus AWD models and featured a unique Gloss Black painted split-crosshair grille and grille surround,
19-inch polished aluminum wheels with Gloss Black pockets, all-season performance tires, the first
application of steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters and sport mode transmission calibration in a
Charger AWD.
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 18
2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 models saw a new standard launch control program to enhance straight-
line acceleration, and the popular Super Bee models returned with expanded exterior color selection
and new options for the core performance enthusiast.
Designed to offer a modern interpretation of the classic muscle-car styling cues, the optional 392
Appearance Package on the 2013 Charger SRT8 added an extra dose of menacing appearance for the
iconic four-door fastback coupe, with unique appointments, including gloss black ―392 HEMI‖ fender
badges, power bulge hood, side mirrors, spoiler and roof painted in Pitch Black, satin black SRT lower-
body side stripe with heavy band and accent tracer stretching from front fascia, through doors to rear
fascia, 20-inch, split five-spoke Black Vapor Chrome wheels and serialized dash plaque showing
production build number / 392.
The 2014 Charger 100th Anniversary Edition celebrated the brand’s centennial with uniquely-designed
appointments to complement the sedan’s world-class power, handling, technology and iconic style. The
Dodge Charger 100th Anniversary Edition was based on the 2014 Dodge Charger SXT Plus with the
award-winning 300 horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine and state-of-the-art eight-speed
transmission, or the Dodge Charger R/T Plus with the more powerful 370 horsepower and 395 lb.-ft. of
torque 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with four-cylinder mode Fuel Saver Technology and up to 25 mpg on
the highway. All 100th Anniversary Editions included sport mode calibration, performance-tuned
suspension and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters for added driver control.
The 2014 Dodge Charger 100th Anniversary Editions were available in Pitch Black, Bright White, Billet
Silver, Granite Crystal, Ivory Tri-Coat, Phantom Black Tri-Coat, Header Orange, and for this special
occasion, an all-new and exclusive High Octane Red Pearl Coat paint. ―Dodge Est. 1914‖ bar-style
front-fender badges and special Dodge ―100‖ logo on the center caps commemorated the brand’s
centennial.
Exclusive interior appointments were designed to make the 2014 Dodge Charger 100th Anniversary
Edition stand out. All-new Molten Red or Foundry Black Nappa leather with a custom cloud overprint
wrapped the sport seats, center console armrest and door armrests. A unique three-spoke flat-bottom
performance steering wheel featured die-cast paddle shifters for added driver control. Interior
appointments designed to commemorate the brand’s centenary included die-cast ―Dodge Est. 1914‖
circular badges on front seatbacks and an embroidered anniversary logo on premium floor mats. All-
new instrument panel cluster graphics featured unique black-face gauges with white indication and
stand-out red ―100‖ mph indication for this special occasion.
A new Redline Package featured unique 20-inch black chrome aluminum wheels with a red painted lip
and inner backbone, Beats Audio and an upgraded 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with sport mode,
2015 DODGE CHARGER | HERITAGE http://media.chrysler.com | 19
cold-air induction system and sport-tuned exhaust raising output to 300 horsepower. Available on the
rear-wheel drive (RWD) 2014 Dodge Charger SXT and SXT Plus models, the Redline Package
included 20-inch Black Chrome wheels with a Redline Red lip and inner backbone for a one-of-a-kind
look. In addition to the 20-inch five-spoke aluminum wheels, the package included all-season
performance tires, performance-tuned suspension, sport seats, rear body-color spoiler and exclusive
Beats by Dr. Dre audio system.
New exterior paint colors included: Header Orange, along with TorRed and Plum Crazy historic paint
colors.
For 2014, the ―8‖ was dropped from the name and the highest-performing model in the lineup was now
called the Dodge Charger SRT. This was to align the naming of all SRT models in the Chrysler Group.
The 2014 Charger SRT Super Bee model carried on and was available in five exterior colors, including
Bright White Clear Coat, Pitch Black Clear Coat, TorRed Clear Coat, Header Orange Pearl Coat and
Plum Crazy Pearl Coat.
