Both Dodge models are available with a 5.7 L V8 engine that carries the HEMI badge. Are you hungry for even more powerful output? Then make an upgrade to the HEMI 392 engine, which delivers a whopping 485 horsepower. Arguably the most muscular powertrain ever designed by Dodge, the Hellcat SRT engine is optional in the Challenger and Charger. Boosted by a supercharger, this eight-cylinder monster spits out 707 hp and 650 lb-ft. Both Dodge cars roll on a eight-speed automatic transmission that has a gearbox with the TorqueFlite technology. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard in the Challenger, and all-wheel drive (AWD) is installed in the Charger. When you're ready to hit the track, turn on the Launch Control for optimum acceleration.

Interior

Available in more than a dozen colors, the front seats in the 2018 Challenger offers superb ergonomics. The comfortable front seats in the 2018 Charger are available in 10 options. Both Dodge cars have heating and cooling for the driver and front passenger. In fact, the Charger's seats have special filaments that absorb and draw heat away from the cushions. Of course, these vehicles also have automatic climate control systems with two zones. Need directions or other information for a trip? Just browse the menu on the Uconnect 4C NAV that comes with an 8.4-inch touch screen. SiriusXM Traffic, Travel Link and Satellite Radio are accessible through the signature multimedia hub.
