Used 2015 Dodge Charger

All-new for 2015, the Dodge Charger takes the family sedan to a whole new level with its available 6.2-liter Hellcat supercharged V8 engine. Versatility is the name of the game as the new Charger offers a V6 (available with all-wheel drive) and three different V8 engines. Whether you’re driving the V6, which is quiet and fuel efficient, or the all-new Hellcat V8 – rated at 707 horsepower – other alternatives like the Chevrolet Impala and Buick LaCrosse don’t seem as interesting all of a sudden.

The base 3.6-liter V6 engine is quiet while serving up ample power in either rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). The standard 8-speed automatic transmission doesn’t hunt for gears, and ride noise is kept at a manageable level. Navigating through traffic is fun in a Hellcat-equipped Charger with its endless power on tap. Overall, the new Charger’s ride is compliant and comfortable, and it’s easy to talk with passengers without having to compete with the radio.

Being all-new for 2015, obvious changes over the previous model include a new 7-inch customizable gauge cluster, a redesigned instrument cluster and a new electronic shifter. The Uconnect infotainment system and an available 8.4-inch touch screen – two features we highly recommend springing for – return for the 2015 model year. The seats are comfortable and can handle long road trips with ease. The steering wheel has been redesigned to match the rest in the Chrysler Group (sans logo in the center) but the audio controls are still on the back of the spokes.

The hood, front doors, spoiler, taillights and front fascia have all been redesigned for the 2015 model year. Obvious changes include the new grille and headlights, which have been repositioned to help with engine airflow. This design also gives the new Charger a low, aggressive stance, and the newly rounded-off rear end continues to feature Dodge’s touted “racetrack” taillights.

6.2-LITER HELLCAT SUPERCHARGED V8
Rated at 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, the all-new 6.2-liter Hellcat supercharged V8 engine is the most powerful engine Chrysler Group has ever rolled out. Compared to other vehicles that offer similar power numbers (BMW M5, Porsche Panamera, Ferrari F12berlinetta), the new Charger SRT Hellcat is the deal of this century and possible even the next one, too.

LED daytime running lights, acoustic front glass and windshield, front and rear power windows with express front up/down, and a configurable, full color, 7-inch driver information display are all standard features on the 2015 Dodge Charger.

Going right to the top Charger trim, the SRT Hellcat brings along a slew of features and more horsepower than most know what to do with. A starting price of $63,995 gets you the best features and engine the new Charger lineup has to offer including integrated dual black vapor chrome exhaust tips, a black grille with a performance mesh design, SRT Performance Pages within Uconnect, and a 200-mph analog speedometer. Then there’s the all-new 6.2-liter Hellcat supercharged V8 engine, which is rated at 707 horsepower.

Here’s where the 2015 Charger really shines. You have four engine options available with horsepower spanning from 292 to an eye-watering 707. The base 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine is rated at 292 horsepower and can return 31 mpg on the highway. This is also the only engine available with all-wheel drive. If it’s more power you seek, you came to the right place as the Charger is available with three different variations of the V8 engine. The first is a 5.7-liter V8, rated at 370 horsepower, followed by a 6.4-liter V8, which churns out 485 horsepower. Then there’s the all-new Hellcat supercharged V8 engine, rated at 707 horsepower. Power for every new Charger is sent to the wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
