Video Summary
- The exterior styling looks cool and impresses.- The R-Wing helps with aerodynamics and range while keeping a squared-off muscle car look.
- The launch vehicles come with the Stage 2 package for an 80-horsepower bump.
- This has carbon and suede package that gives you mirror caps and other accents.
- Dimensions: One inch lower than the old Challenger; It's a lot longer (8 1/2 inches); About 4 inches wider than a non-wide body challenger.
- Back looks really cool with race track taillamps; the chambered Fratzonic exhaust is at the back.
- This is the "attitude adjustment," 64-color ambient lighting illuminating the doors and dashboard. It can react to reving and people entering/exiting the car.
- It took a little bit of inspiration from the ‘68 model; Interior is very modern and impressive.
- The high-back seats are optional. They’re Nappa leather with suede inserts and “Demonic red” leather.
- The steering wheel is square and good for 9 & 3 grips. The car can be put into custom mode.
- The test models have a 16-inch cluster screen for all ScatPack versions.
- The 12.3-inch touchscreen has been updated with Connect 5 infotainment software, and has volume and tune knobs. The display has both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The touchscreen is a little slow to load.
- The power shot adds 40 horsepower.
- Charging: All run 100 kWh+ battery packs, up to 308 miles of range
- There's good visibility.
- The skid pad feels the most like an old Challenger and the car is happy to do donuts all day.
- Skilfull driving allows you to do drifting.
- The R/T starts at $61,590, but balloons if adding options.
- Scat Packs Start at $71,185 and can also go over $80,000. The HellaCat Red Eye is more expensive, though.
- Level 2 hands-on driving assist is offered.
- The drive axle has a front axle disconnect for better efficiency when it doesn’t need all four wheels.
- The closest competition is the Ionic 5N from Hyundai, which has very similar performance and horsepower. Has better handling and simulated gear and a bit more enjoyable to drive. It all costs just $67,500 (w/ color option being the only extra cost),
- The big caveat: the new charger weighs 5,760 pounds (2,613 kg), heavier, as mentioned before. That added heft is felt when tossing the new car around the Radford track.
