What Engines Does the 2022 Dodge Challenger Use?
If you’re shopping for a muscle car, chances are you’re curious about what’s under the hood. Rest assured that the Dodge Challenger will not disappoint! For example, even at the entry-level SXT trim, you get 303 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque from Dodge’s Pentastar 3.6L V6; plenty of power for any everyday drive. But, we understand that you may be looking for some more get-up-and-go, and Dodge does too. That’s why they have the sought-after 5.7L HEMI V8 under the hood of the R/T trim, pushing out 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque. The thrills don’t end there though! The R/T Scat Pack trim delivers 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque from the 392-cubic inch 6.4L HEMI V8. Of course, the legendary Hellcat comes with an enthralling supercharged 6.2L V8, ripping out a pavement-pounding 717 horsepower and 656 lb-ft of torque. The high-output supercharged V8, exclusive to the Super Stock trim, cranks out a mind-boggling 807 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque. The standard drivetrain for the Challenger SXT, GT, and Super Stock is an 8-speed automatic transmission powering a rear-wheel-drive system. However, the R/T, Scat Pack, and Hellcat all come with a 6-speed manual transmission. For better traction in inclement weather, all-wheel drive is available exclusively to the SXT and GT trim levels.
What Standard Features Can I Expect from the 2022 Challenger?
While Dodge takes making high-performance cars very seriously, they certainly do not forget about convenience, style, and comfort. The Challenger has the classic design that has withstood the test of time, featuring an elongated hood that extends slightly over the slim grille which is flanked by two round headlights on both sides. A modern aesthetic is brought on by the low and wide stance, sharp lines, and muscular curves. Other features that are standard equipment outside include LED taillights, LED daytime running lights, power-adjustable side mirrors, and 18-inch alloy wheels. We have no doubt that the Challenger will make you turn around every time you walk away from it. Inside, Dodge provides a comfortable high-tech interior with a driver-centric, cockpit-like design. Standard interior equipment includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel, houndstooth cloth upholstery, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, and more!
What Features Come with the Higher Trim Levels?
All the features listed above are standard equipment starting at the SXT trim. However, climbing up the trim level ladder gets you even more! The GT, for example, gets you 20-inch alloy wheels, a rear lip spoiler, a functional hood scoop, a rear lip spoiler, an SRT front splitter, remote start, paddle shifters, and performance seats. Stepping up to the R/T trim, you’ll find a V8 engine, manual transmission, rear parking sensors, performance suspension, performance steering, Active Exhaust, front fog lights, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen. The Scat Pack adds more performance features like line lock, launch control, SRT Drive Modes, and SRT Performance Pages. Lastly, the Hellcat excites with daytime running lights with cold air intake valves, SRT Power Chiller, Race Cooldown, a dual-snorkel hood, and Bilstein adaptive damping shocks with customizable stiffness settings.
