DODGE CHARGER SRT Hellcat The Kind of Fun That’s Not for Sensible Drivers by Ella Patterson
The 2019 Dodge Charger isn't a sensible car for sensible drivers. Instead, it's for drivers who want a car that looks cool, makes cool noises, goes obscenely fast and comes in colors such as Go Mango, Plum Crazy, TorRed and White Knuckle. If you're looking for something state-of-the-art, fuelefficient, refined and anonymously styled, the Charger is not your car. It is practical, though. Four doors, a roomy cabin, and a raft of safety features make the Charger a legitimate choice for family duty. A broad range of standard and optional creature comforts let you tailor the Charger to taste, while the car's Uconnect infotainment interface remains one of the best around. It's even available with allwheel drive, which helps bolster this performance sedan's usability in inclement weather.

Dodge has made a few updates as well. The SRT Hellcat gets a new grille and features to help improve drag-racing performance, including a line lock, a launch assist feature, torque reserve, and after-run chiller. Below that, the SRT R/T Scat Pack gets new styling options and available adaptive suspension dampers. Charger GT and R/T models receive a host of chassis and electronic upgrades, including a performance suspension, a new rear axle ratio and recalibrated steering. These changes help keep the Charger fresh. The latest generation has seemingly been around since 2011, yet it's still one of our favorite big sedans. It's the only one that blends classic hot-rod City MPG: 15. Hwy MPG: 25 Seats 5 Price - $69,995.00
