@ tanarvis tennant - I agree, I like the new look. One thing Chrysler could do to make things even better is to bring back the Plum Crazy and classic yellow body colors. I never really paid much attention to colors like Plum Crazy...when I finally did I found myself liking the Plum Crazy..hey I'm a traditional SWM, str8 guy for sure, but that Plum Crazy just ain't bad on some cars...a lot of guys are crazy about that yellow (looks good on a Challenger) so they ought to continue offering those.
Does your stock exaust have that deep growl or rumble.mine sounds good on the inside of the car but several guys in my complex have one And when they pass by it's pretty loud. I only hear mine with the cold start and it gets quiet.
I don't get why every American car that wasn't designed exclusively with a ruler is automatically described as having "European styling".... I'm European and this looks nothing like a European design, which is a good thing. American cars look aggressive, that's their unique characteristic, regardless if it has curves or straight lines, this dodge is definitely aggressive. It looks like a goddamn cobra on wheels.
Thats exactly what I was saying. Why would they even bother try look European. The whole americanuscle car designs looked badass. Now they are going light. Really wish we had american designed cars in the uk, tired of my astra..
MihaiRUdeRO I'm guessing it's just a marketing gimmick to appeal to a larger base. you never hear "japanese styling" or "korean styling" but both of those countries make some pretty good cars.
I’m a Ford guy in and out but this is by far the best sedan on the market. Very fun to drive, reliable and absolutely gorgeous. Im watching my state government auctions running 5.7 AWDs. I’ll pick up a couple and hot rod them because 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Just had a SXT. RWD as a rental and we all know we drive rentals pretty hard. I was getting 24 mpg. Jeremy Clarkson said it best the fastest car in the world is a Rental car. 🤣😂😁😁💯 Overall great car. If I leased one I would get a R/T.
Yeah these test drivers suck apparently. The RT Road and track pack can do 0-60 in 5 flat and a 13.3 1/4 mile. The non Road and track should be in that 5.1-5.2 / 13.5 range. 14.0 as tested at 103 doesn't make any sense unless you spun the $hit out of the tires.
Rented one in 2016 for a road trip from North TX to Maine. Great rider and beautiful handling, smooth ride, and quiet. Rented a SXT but had option for R/T. Had the rental been local or less of a drive I would have taken it. I didn’t want to risk getting the oil change messages during middle of the trip and even worse swapping out and getting a downgrade. SXT with the 3.6 and 8 Seed Automatic transmission, had a fairly constant low 30’s MPG and occasionally mid 30’s...yes even cruising in the mid 70’s. Depending on your driving habits I would not have any concerns about stretching 500 miles or plus from one tank on the 3.6. I would estimate conservative very close to 450 miles per tank for a 5.7 HEMI.
My sis was looking at a 2015 charger sxt or sxe+ (not familiar with the trim levels). the dealer let her barrow it for the day, and she asked me to go with her to take it back. She didn't end up buying that one, but we went to go look at another one on the other side of town that had 18k mi on it and was $$ cheaper. Go figure, they didn't have it. She was looking at another charger and really wanted one with the moon roof, but like any good brother would, I convinced her that a V8 was a better choice than a moon roof. She ended up getting a Charger R/T fully loaded (except the moon roof) and the thing is SICK!
Firstly, I didn't "make" my sister buy anything. She bought it with her own money, and because she wanted it. Secondly, that's a pretty antiquated view of gender roles that you have. Maybe you think she should have gotten a Prius and put the extra money in a high end stove or a state of the art iron, but that isn't her style. The last time I checked, they don't ask to examine your testicles when you check the "V8 option". tf does anybody need a v8 for? because she had cash on hand to buy it and because she wanted it. I don't know how inferior you think the women in your family are, but my sister plenty capable behind the wheel.
Darty front. Intrepidy rear. Charger profile. 5 years later and still a great looking design. Sold 400K of them so they'll be around for a good decade more used.
Recently bought this as the R/T with Road and Track package with Black/Red-Black color scheme. Love this new car. I've been driving Germans for a decade now and this is my first American car since the early 00s. Wow, what an improvement Americans have made since before the recession. I will disagree with the reviewer on one point: the SD card slot is AWESOME! I loaded all my favorite music on to a 16GB SD card and now I hardly ever listen to the radio or XM! My only real gripe with this car is the Nav's keyboard is disabled above 4mph. Meaning I can't change my course or add a custom destination while cruising. How about enabling the keyboard if there is a passenger!? Other than that, it's a great ride!
+riceklown I also purchased the 2015 Road& Track, I was drawn to this cars looks, and wasn't even looking for a new car, while passing the car lot and had to have one. I didn't even consider another car. I love the feel, look and power this thing has.. I have no complaints and I get nothing but compliments.
@ latinorama - I've had 2 Charger R/T's with the 5.7L HEMI and loved them both ! However I'm looking at a new Charger and the color and options I want are in 3 or 6 vehicles at various local dealers, the thing is they're all Charger 3.6L SXT 6 cyclinder cars...but I've heard the Pentastar V-6 will run like a racehorse ! They all have the Plus package, one actually has 3 packages included...it's got EVERYTHING !! LOL. SO ? You really like the SXT's huh ? How about power ? Top speed ? Thanks in advance for ur input !
I like the newly 2015-facelift Dodge Charger, but mostly every time I see one, they remind me of the seventh generation Dodge Charger, which was basically the Charger I grew up with in my childhood. I still very well miss it, though.
While I'm not jumping for joy over this refresh, I don't hate it. It still has the Coke bottle shape from the side. The taillights.. you could say they look like the Dodge Dart... or more like the current Viper's. The front end does bare a resemblance to the Dart, but without that black section of the lower grille not as much. The slimmed down grille isn't as aggressive, but ok. Wish they didn't keep the cross hair, a 69 style grille center would look better. Looks more like the discontinued Avenger than a Dart in the front if you ask me... don't like the 68-70 style scoops being replaced by the Avengeresqe bulges. Interior they got right, with only minor tweaks to dash and technology. Like the 3 piece flat spoiler better than the raised spoiler it replaces. Less of a blind spot in the back.
A MONTH AGO I JUST PURCHASED A 2015 CHARGER RALLYE EDITION.... THREE UPGRADES AND I HAVE A 400HP MOTOR FROM THE 300 HORSES ,,,, LOVE THE SPORT BUTTON............STOMPED A 5.0 MUSTANG RIGHT AT THE LIGHT HE DID CATCH ME THOUGH..........LOL
Why does the rear look like a grown Dart? Don't get me wrong, I love the looks of the Dart and Charger, but the rear of the previous Charger looked better than this one.
That was a very conservative 0-60 time specially for an 8 speed trans. I heard those tires squealing for like 400 feet. A track that is actually prepped or a more trained driver that can get those rear tires hooked up can get that down a few tenths...nothing but love for Motorweek though. You guys cover everything about the car.
I know this is an OLD thread,, but ooooh yeah it was a conservative number! I have a 2019 V6 with the 8 speed, and it fkn hauls ASS! I am WELL into the mid-5 second 0-60's...and sooooo close to a 14 flat in the 1/4 mile (at a few Smart cars slower than 100 in the traps!) that nobody anywhere EVER believes it is a V6! I mean I'm sure some V6 owners know exactly what I am talking about!! Based on my V6 numbers, I am sure the Hemi (specifically the 5.7) is more than capable of a 5 second flat 0-60, and a 13.3 or even 13.2/13.1 second quarter--probably at 108-109 MPH. Also, I'm bone stock!
I just had a 16 R/T with the standard 5.7, with a 280 mile loop, and my leadfooted ass behind the wheel as a rental for work. I was pleasently surprised with an average of 25.2 by the time I got back home. Yes there was mostly highway driving, but traffic and speeds were mixed due to construction, rush-hour, and climbing a mountain. I don't get NEARLY that in my 2015 Fusion 1.5 Ecoboost. It's a nice car, but you pay dearly in outward visibility for those aggressive and muscular lines. A backup camera, sensors, and blind spot system as standard equipment across the board would me much appreciated. Though so would Enterprise not filling the tires to 50 PSI when the car calls for 32.
This is just a big Dodge Dart, I'm disappointed with the new redesign. Especially since the Charger lost its mean and aggressive front facia we've all come to know and love!
First gen looked like a Avenger, 11-14 looked like a Ram(worst of all 3 IMO). They refined the car. And i love it. Need to accept change and welcome improvments.....
when I saw the front end of the car, one thing already had me curious, on the bottom grill, what is that square thing that is right in the middle of it????? Now concerning the middle display console, for safety reasons whn the car is in drive AND in motion, do all those buttons on the display lock up so that the driver cannot use them when the vehicle is in motion?
Andrew Silva The square thing on the grill is the radar for the adaptive cruise control. And based on how my Chrysler is set up, you can use all the screen functions while you're driving except for the navigation. It really sucks though that you still can't use it from the passenger side.
supreme2005 Thasnk you so very much for replying, I really do appreciate it, I was only asking about the Middle display console only because I have heard that in order to be able to make sure the driver keeps his eye on the road, alot of these consoles nowdays once the car is put into the drive, all of the buttons on the display automaticly lock and they cannot be used pretty much of a safety feature, which in a way is a pretty smart idea, now for the adaptive cruise, I am guessing that device in the grill is used for if you have it on, if you get too close to the car in front of you, it automaticly slow downs the speed of the car, is this correct???? Thanks again.
I had the pleasure of owning a 2014 R/T AWD in all black with the AWD Appearance Package, that means I chrome except for the dual exhaust outlets! The best and worst part, is being looked at like your a cop! No one r er pulled out on me or cut me off on the highway! But I needed more utility and had to trade it in on a Durango R/T AWD! That is also amazing!
If you want to see some real good content on these LX body cars check out Tunnel Chaser and RT Life they've got the demon the charger a Ram 1500 and a Jeep with the 392 both guys put out really good content and you get to see more real world driving and how the vehicles react.
Power wise the mustang gt will take the rt & camaro but even the ecoboost/v6 mustang is running in the low to mid 5s. (unless the camaro is a SS 2016 model but realize that chevy will have multiple recalls) If you actually appreciate having a backseat & have a budget than I say the RT for American car wise. If you don't mind driving a stick than get a subaru sti, you won't be dissapointed.
@ Christian Woods - You'll surely have more fun with the Charger or even a Challenger. If you want a quality, resonably priced , well equipped car that's a ROAD ROCKET go for the Charger R/T 5.7L HEMI ! You'll blow the doors off the other guys and have much, much more room in your cabin and a better ride than a Mustang or Cam !
@ thuglifezeem716 - They could be better, but backup camera's , etc help. They're NOT as bad as Camero and Corvette are, and Ford...well just plain SUCKS !!
@ Joel Worsley - Haven't watched the vid yet, but hey dude 70 ain't dead nowadays !! I'm pretty far from it, a decade or a bit more, but a good friend is 72 and he does more shit than I do !!
looks like the the old intrepids from the nineties. Not a bad looking car but the last generation was better looking and showed its heritage better. This is beginning to look like any other sedan on the road.........and I am not even a dodge fan. Can not imagine what a fan of the charger thinks.
You're absolutely right. I own a previous gen 2012 Charger and it does a much better job of fusing retro and modern in its styling than this new version. Do I like the new 2015? As a well equipped sporty looking car, yes I do. However do I like the car as a "Dodge Charger" that I would mod, take to show and shines and hang out with other Mopar owners with? Absolutely not.
robertkurt2 exactly. I liked all the the previous new generation chargers, they were true to their heritage yet looked very good as far as modern cars are concerned. They had a badass look, a muscle car touch in a sea of cars it stood out. Now it's undistinguishable from any modern sport model car. What a mistake, IMHO.
DoYouThinkForUrselF I think we are already seeing the result of a bad decision in the lack of sales so far. I go on both the Canadian and American Auto Trader sites and of all the new Chargers listed, not one has been sold. Nobody on any of the forums I'm a member of has bought one yet. (Except maybe the odd hellcat) I have yet to see an owner review on TH-cam of a 2015 Charger. None of the dealerships in my city have any on the lot. I suspect that is because they are already predicting it will be a poor seller. Heck when the Charger was resurrected in 2006 and refreshed in 2011 dealerships here had 10 to 15 each and they were selling like Hotcakes.
People need to get over the look. It is a corporate design. Just like every other manufacture does. And its been done for decades. 05-10 looked like the Avenger, 11-14 looked like a Ram. IMO outside of the 12-14 SRT line the 11-14 Charger looked plain. Same goes for this version. The Scat Pack/SRT line gets the aggressive look. People complain about every version. So this is nothing new. Dog it if you want. But ill be enjoying my Charger Scat Pack with 485 H.P., 8 speed auto with rev match shifting, and improved interior. :D
Splitting hairs lol Point is Charger has used the cooperate design since it's reintroduced. Everyone has there taste personally I rank the charger SRT styles: 1. 15+ 2. 06-10 3. 12-14
Eric West shitty test drivers. I have a bone stock 2016 RT charger and my best time 0 to 60 is 4.7 and quarter mile 12.8 at 110 mph. That was in 50 degree weather though. Hemi loves cool weather they are beast when cool outside
This thing has nothing to do with The look of a charger they should have kept the last model gave a wider body over the rear wheel wells dump the hood scallops and last of all give it an 8 speed transmission
Yeah. $hity test drivers. This car is capable of 5.0-5.2 0-60 and 13.3-13.5 depending on if you get the RT or RT Road and Track. 14.0 and 103 means serious wheel spin. My 2014 AWD RT did 13.9 @ 99 mph which has the 5 speed. Lame @ss drivers. It's all good though.
And fuel economy plummets. Last V-8 AWD Chrysler 300 was 15 city/ 21 highway with the 5-speed auto. I would think if it had the 8-speed auto that fuel economy would've improved.
There just isnt the bussiness case for it anymore, if you want a V8 and AWD you might as well get a Durango or G. Cherokee. for the same price as a V8 R/T
AWD not available unless you buy a cop car, and it will still be the Mercedes 5 speed auto. Heard a few times it won't be back because of poor sales, but maybe it's still in development. The 8 speed behind the HEMI's are slightly bulkier, so it might just be a packaging issue they are working out for the Transfer Case and front driveshaft and the right floor pan, which is already altered to make room for the existing Transfer case setup.
It says FCA on the paperwork you couldn't see that because it was in the glove box. PMSL if the roads were bigger and petrol is cheaper would you get one
I LOVE THE DODGE CHARGER BUT THE 2015 EXTERIOR BODY LOOKS MORE LIKE A FAMILY CAR THAN A SPORTS/MUSCLE CAR. MOST OF THE PEOPLE I SEE DRIVING THE CAR ARE MALES IN THEIR 20'S AND 30'S WHO BUY THE CAR PARTIALLY FOR THE MUSCLE CAR LOOKS WHICH IT LOST ALOT OF IN THE 2015 EXTERIOR DESIGN. I GUESS THEY TAMED DOWN THE EXTERIOR DESIGN TO MAKE THE CAR MORE APPEALING TO A LARGER TARGET MARKET. I PERSONALLY DONT LIKE THE NEW DESIGN BUT THE CAR SALES WILL TELL THE TALE OF WHETHER ITS A SUCCESS FOR THE DODGE COMPANY.
@ Matthew Bringhurst - I have had 2 door sports cars and now a 4 door sports car called a Charger...times have changed. But if you need a nice 2 door that's what Challenger is !
I work for a municipality. The police switched over to Chargers after the Crown Vic was discontinued. They are now replacing them with Ford Explorers. The Chargers are constantly breaking down.
@@Lousybarber it's that poopy 5-speed transmission. I was talking to a Missouri State Highway Patrol officer the other day. He said the PPV package really hampers the power. I would figure if you got one with the PPV package you would get the 392.
I hate to say it but it is true about older 1s. The 5 speed auto doesn't survive long, and there are numerous mechanical issues with the 5.7s. Also, they had a multitude of suspension and brake problems. Our town had an 11, 13, and 14, Charger Police Pursuit ( i think that's the name) All 3 were retired at just 77-85k ( not sure on engine hrs though) whereas the Crown Vics they replaced had well over 220k on them, then were/are used for emergency services, aux security vehicles, and parades. We still have 1 left used as a patroller. Now, the rest of our fleet is Explorers. I will say that several towns surrounding us still use Chargers, sixes and V8s.
Sorry, I just still see a police car in my rearview mirror. If not for that, I would be more objective. I'm sure it hauls ass, hence the reason why it's a preferred law-enforcement choice.
They made it into a large Dart! Isn't that platform sharing bullshit and making all of the cars look alike how Dodge got into financial trouble to begin with! I don't want to drive a car that looks like every other model they have! I want to drive something different! The Charger used to be that! Don't they know that the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting different results? You make the same mistakes you get the same results!
So Chrysler sales being up 20% last year, better than nearly every other carmaker, is proof that you are wrong. EVERY manufacturer has cohesion to their lineup so people know it is one of their cars. Every BMW looks the same as does every Audi and hideous Nissan. Trucks too...

I actually like the new look!

That's nice.

Tyrone Trott what do you average both city and highway with hard acceleration at times ?
Lol 11 mpg

It looks a lot softer than the previous model. I HATE the rear end
nice way to put it
Well said my friend.
What a stunning looking car. Such an improvement on the old model, that looked incredibly crude.
I wish I could could get one in England.

mikexcanxjerk no havent gotten one yet. but im probably going to go another direction.
Meng Lor what other car where you tinking of getting ?
Did u get your rt yet
Miko_Pure I get around 13.1 mpg on my 2020 charger
The 2015 Charger R/T did 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, and ran 13.6 @ 105 mph through the 1/4 mile in Car & Driver, for those who didn't see the article.
Yeah these test drivers suck apparently. The RT Road and track pack can do 0-60 in 5 flat and a 13.3 1/4 mile. The non Road and track should be in that 5.1-5.2 / 13.5 range. 14.0 as tested at 103 doesn't make any sense unless you spun the $hit out of the tires.

Yes there was mostly highway driving, but traffic and speeds were mixed due to construction, rush-hour, and climbing a mountain. I don't get NEARLY that in my 2015 Fusion 1.5 Ecoboost. It's a nice car, but you pay dearly in outward visibility for those aggressive and muscular lines. A backup camera, sensors, and blind spot system as standard equipment across the board would me much appreciated. Though so would Enterprise not filling the tires to 50 PSI when the car calls for 32.
I just had a 16' for a 950+ trip. Fell in love with the thing. I want to trade my mustang in now, most likely for the srt8 though.
check out my 2015 dodge charger night view
The video forgot to mention the best deal to be had, the scat pack! You get the 485hp motor for $7k more than the r/t version
@revo no the 392 has sportier suspension and costs more.
This is just a big Dodge Dart, I'm disappointed with the new redesign. Especially since the Charger lost its mean and aggressive front facia we've all come to know and love!
ya, what a shame......and I am not even a dodge fan, but I liked the old look.
I think thats why the chrysler 300 front facia wasn't redesigned its the same but refreshed
First gen looked like a Avenger, 11-14 looked like a Ram(worst of all 3 IMO).
They refined the car. And i love it. Need to accept change and welcome improvments.....
No it's not
No it's not we get it already
Best Color. The R/T is Perfect. My next Car will be one. I am only missing the cooled and heated Cupholder :(((
Great review, but change the horrible background music
Got a Dodge Charger up to 145 mph today...come see Mike at Dick Scott Dodge in Plymouth!
I hope they've enhanced the reliability of the car consider it looks clean good! Looking forward to own one.
Did you ever buy one?
when I saw the front end of the car, one thing already had me curious, on the bottom grill, what is that square thing that is right in the middle of it????? Now concerning the middle display console, for safety reasons whn the car is in drive AND in motion, do all those buttons on the display lock up so that the driver cannot use them when the vehicle is in motion?
Andrew Silva The square thing on the grill is the radar for the adaptive cruise control. And based on how my Chrysler is set up, you can use all the screen functions while you're driving except for the navigation. It really sucks though that you still can't use it from the passenger side.
supreme2005 Thasnk you so very much for replying, I really do appreciate it, I was only asking about the Middle display console only because I have heard that in order to be able to make sure the driver keeps his eye on the road, alot of these consoles nowdays once the car is put into the drive, all of the buttons on the display automaticly lock and they cannot be used pretty much of a safety feature, which in a way is a pretty smart idea, now for the adaptive cruise, I am guessing that device in the grill is used for if you have it on, if you get too close to the car in front of you, it automaticly slow downs the speed of the car, is this correct???? Thanks again.
Ok can chrysler please put that shifter in its other products cause the rotary dial and the shifter in the grand cherokee just don't do it for me
Got a Dodge Charger up to 145 mph today come see Mike at Dick Scott Dodge in Plymouth!
I had the pleasure of owning a 2014 R/T AWD in all black with the AWD Appearance Package, that means I chrome except for the dual exhaust outlets! The best and worst part, is being looked at like your a cop! No one r er pulled out on me or cut me off on the highway! But I needed more utility and had to trade it in on a Durango R/T AWD! That is also amazing!
I love Dodge Charger's.
The best looking 21st century Charger is this 2015-2023.
I'm curious to know if this Charger has had any alternator problems.
Israel Canning It's a Dodge there known to be unreliable
@@chargermaster586 20 years ago maybe. They're great now
My uncle's 2014 300 has no problems yet
If you want to see some real good content on these LX body cars check out Tunnel Chaser and RT Life they've got the demon the charger a Ram 1500 and a Jeep with the 392 both guys put out really good content and you get to see more real world driving and how the vehicles react.
I would be asking how would the reliability hold up when the warranty runs out.
Hemi 5.7 solid engine and the 8 speed is doing good.
Well my 09 rt challenger is holding after 200k plus so best believe....i plumb with the bitch......
Chargers hold up. That's fax. I've seen many chargers especially 5.7s with 225k+ miles
I cant decide on which car to get this one or the new mustang for my first car
+Christian Woods or camaro
+Christian Woods Mustang....
Power wise the mustang gt will take the rt & camaro but even the ecoboost/v6 mustang is running in the low to mid 5s. (unless the camaro is a SS 2016 model but realize that chevy will have multiple recalls) If you actually appreciate having a backseat & have a budget than I say the RT for American car wise. If you don't mind driving a stick than get a subaru sti, you won't be dissapointed.
@ Christian Woods - You'll surely have more fun with the Charger or even a Challenger. If you want a quality, resonably priced , well equipped car that's a ROAD ROCKET go for the Charger R/T 5.7L HEMI ! You'll blow the doors off the other guys and have much, much more room in your cabin and a better ride than a Mustang or Cam !
Also 21 mpg is fucking crazy .. Dang
I managed 25.2 in a 280 mile loop of mixed driving. I'm impressed for a V8. Less impressed however with the visibility.
+Ryan Slemmer all dodge cars have bad visibility lol
thuglifezeem716 Oh, I am aware of that. It's why I didn't buy an avenger... and wouldn't have chosen a charger if I had an option.
@ thuglifezeem716 - They could be better, but backup camera's , etc help. They're NOT as bad as Camero and Corvette are, and Ford...well just plain SUCKS !!
What is up with the loud music.
Not crazy about the new look yet. It may grow on me though, when or if the Hellcat ever shows it's face...(or ass if the driver is using the red key).
Has it grown on you yet
How isn't this guy dead, he looks 50 in the retro vids, he's gotta be 70+
I be thinking the same shit.. White ppl just age horribly love him though
@ Joel Worsley - Haven't watched the vid yet, but hey dude 70 ain't dead nowadays !! I'm pretty far from it, a decade or a bit more, but a good friend is 72 and he does more shit than I do !!
Inhaling lot of exhaust and tire smoke?
5 years later in 2020 and it’s still on a 2003 Mercedes E-Class Chassis🙄
Why do so many companies make automatics have shift boots similar to manuals?
dirt
rango is under the car 0:58
he jumped out of nowere
looks like the the old intrepids from the nineties. Not a bad looking car but the last generation was better looking and showed its heritage better. This is beginning to look like any other sedan on the road.........and I am not even a dodge fan. Can not imagine what a fan of the charger thinks.
You're absolutely right. I own a previous gen 2012 Charger and it does a much better job of fusing retro and modern in its styling than this new version. Do I like the new 2015? As a well equipped sporty looking car, yes I do. However do I like the car as a "Dodge Charger" that I would mod, take to show and shines and hang out with other Mopar owners with? Absolutely not.
robertkurt2 exactly. I liked all the the previous new generation chargers, they were true to their heritage yet looked very good as far as modern cars are concerned. They had a badass look, a muscle car touch in a sea of cars it stood out. Now it's undistinguishable from any modern sport model car. What a mistake, IMHO.
DoYouThinkForUrselF I think we are already seeing the result of a bad decision in the lack of sales so far. I go on both the Canadian and American Auto Trader sites and of all the new Chargers listed, not one has been sold. Nobody on any of the forums I'm a member of has bought one yet. (Except maybe the odd hellcat) I have yet to see an owner review on TH-cam of a 2015 Charger. None of the dealerships in my city have any on the lot. I suspect that is because they are already predicting it will be a poor seller. Heck when the Charger was resurrected in 2006 and refreshed in 2011 dealerships here had 10 to 15 each and they were selling like Hotcakes.
robertkurt2 good, let them feel the wrath of the market. =)
robertkurt2
The 2015 Charger is not a new generation, just a refresh.
NICE MotorWeek | Road Test: 2015 Dodge Charger
People need to get over the look. It is a corporate design. Just like every other manufacture does. And its been done for decades. 05-10 looked like the Avenger, 11-14 looked like a Ram. IMO outside of the 12-14 SRT line the 11-14 Charger looked plain. Same goes for this version. The Scat Pack/SRT line gets the aggressive look.
People complain about every version. So this is nothing new.
Dog it if you want. But ill be enjoying my Charger Scat Pack with 485 H.P., 8 speed auto with rev match shifting, and improved interior. :D
Splitting hairs lol
Point is Charger has used the cooperate design since it's reintroduced.
Everyone has there taste personally I rank the charger SRT styles:
1. 15+
2. 06-10
3. 12-14
DODGE DART..?
0 to 60 in 5.8 seconds, V8 370 HP. Am I missing something? Isn't that kind of slow? My maxima does the same and it's a V6.
Eric West shitty test drivers. I have a bone stock 2016 RT charger and my best time 0 to 60 is 4.7 and quarter mile 12.8 at 110 mph. That was in 50 degree weather though. Hemi loves cool weather they are beast when cool outside
Derrick Hines yoir lying the srt 392 does around that time , your regular rt is around 5 seconds - 5.3
Eric, your Maxima doesn't weigh 4300lbs...
@@derrickhines9056 your big fucking lying
I have about the same avg fuel economy in my '06 R/T
I think the Challenger looks better, sounds better, and feels better.
Why no V8 option with 8 speed and AWD????
horrible sales with the V8 AWD
But I loved mine! They are still available but only to government agencies! Plus only the 5 speed Auto is rated for the AWD, due to size issues.
Back in 15 then didn't have an awd transmission to handle the horsepower
This thing has nothing to do with
The look of a charger they should have kept the last model gave a wider body over the
rear wheel wells dump the hood scallops
and last of all give it an 8 speed transmission
14.0 seconds in the 1/4th? Really? I think that's on par with my old 2006 330i. This has to be faster than that old sedan with a puney N/A 3-liter I6.
Yeah. $hity test drivers. This car is capable of 5.0-5.2 0-60 and 13.3-13.5 depending on if you get the RT or RT Road and Track. 14.0 and 103 means serious wheel spin. My 2014 AWD RT did 13.9 @ 99 mph which has the 5 speed. Lame @ss drivers. It's all good though.
No more awd R/T??
not a good seller
And fuel economy plummets. Last V-8 AWD Chrysler 300 was 15 city/ 21 highway with the 5-speed auto. I would think if it had the 8-speed auto that fuel economy would've improved.
There just isnt the bussiness case for it anymore, if you want a V8 and AWD you might as well get a Durango or G. Cherokee. for the same price as a V8 R/T
AWD not available unless you buy a cop car, and it will still be the Mercedes 5 speed auto. Heard a few times it won't be back because of poor sales, but maybe it's still in development. The 8 speed behind the HEMI's are slightly bulkier, so it might just be a packaging issue they are working out for the Transfer Case and front driveshaft and the right floor pan, which is already altered to make room for the existing Transfer case setup.
Billy Sou The AWD 5.7L's are rated 15 city, 23 highway actually, which 23 mpg is attainable with these cars.
Not feeling the headlights or interior. Disappointed.
I thought that was Chuck Norris behind the wheel
1:12 They say quote,"Less Ram Truck-like and more European Look". I wonder why...
Definitely not that Italian ownership talking or anything...
2:20 U-connect; this is an R/T model that costs at least $32,000!
Rear wheel cars can be enjoyable until you find yourself in the middle of snow
My only wonder is the 60-0 mph braking test...
Nearly every car available today stops 60-0 in about 125 feet. Supercars maybe 100 feet.
Too bad they didn't make it 2-door.
Challenger ....
I would v thought the hp number would be over 400 with such a big V8, nowadays...
Bad look no aggressive. Looks like lumina chevo
Go back for 2014 real charger
I want 1000 HP. After all I have to get to the grocery store 😩!! Lol . Eeee.
john old
This is so sad :( this car used to to look so good they fcked up the charger so bad it looks lik a giant Dart!!
I do not see anything european about this American muscle car.
Cheers from Manchester 🇬🇧🇺🇸
It says FCA on the paperwork you couldn't see that because it was in the glove box. PMSL if the roads were bigger and petrol is cheaper would you get one
@@TA_Plus_Hemi If the roads were bigger I would drive a Ram 2500.
Every brags on the v8s but they are going away
I LOVE THE DODGE CHARGER BUT THE 2015 EXTERIOR BODY LOOKS MORE LIKE A FAMILY CAR THAN A SPORTS/MUSCLE CAR. MOST OF THE PEOPLE I SEE DRIVING THE CAR ARE MALES IN THEIR 20'S AND 30'S WHO BUY THE CAR PARTIALLY FOR THE MUSCLE CAR LOOKS WHICH IT LOST ALOT OF IN THE 2015 EXTERIOR DESIGN. I GUESS THEY TAMED DOWN THE EXTERIOR DESIGN TO MAKE THE CAR MORE APPEALING TO A LARGER TARGET MARKET. I PERSONALLY DONT LIKE THE NEW DESIGN BUT THE CAR SALES WILL TELL THE TALE OF WHETHER ITS A SUCCESS FOR THE DODGE COMPANY.
It's still got that muscle car look, in person that front end looks aggressive as he'll, just gotta go see it in person
Hey guys check out my modded Charger 🔌
a charger should be a 2 door not a 4 door
that's why they have the challenger.
what a stupid comment and yes that's why there are Challengers
@ Matthew Bringhurst - I have had 2 door sports cars and now a 4 door sports car called a Charger...times have changed. But if you need a nice 2 door that's what Challenger is !
0-60 in 5.6 .... all that displacement for nothing
I'd pay $15,000 for a loaded V8. Otherwise I'd get another S4 for what they want for one of these loaded.
These things continuously break down. Ask any law enforcement fleet manager. Those cars are more often in the garage being repaired than on the road.
I work for a municipality. The police switched over to Chargers after the Crown Vic was discontinued. They are now replacing them with Ford Explorers. The Chargers are constantly breaking down.
@@Lousybarber it's that poopy 5-speed transmission. I was talking to a Missouri State Highway Patrol officer the other day. He said the PPV package really hampers the power. I would figure if you got one with the PPV package you would get the 392.
I hate to say it but it is true about older 1s. The 5 speed auto doesn't survive long, and there are numerous mechanical issues with the 5.7s. Also, they had a multitude of suspension and brake problems. Our town had an 11, 13, and 14, Charger Police Pursuit ( i think that's the name) All 3 were retired at just 77-85k ( not sure on engine hrs though) whereas the Crown Vics they replaced had well over 220k on them, then were/are used for emergency services, aux security vehicles, and parades. We still have 1 left used as a patroller. Now, the rest of our fleet is Explorers. I will say that several towns surrounding us still use Chargers, sixes and V8s.
Please fire the person who puts that obnoxious music in these videos.
This is bullshit. The 2015s look like the dart.
Yeah. I guess that's why they're selling so well!
+Missjazzy971 the name charger will sell
Well lol
Sorry, I just still see a police car in my rearview mirror. If not for that, I would be more objective. I'm sure it hauls ass, hence the reason why it's a preferred law-enforcement choice.
They made it into a large Dart! Isn't that platform sharing bullshit and making all of the cars look alike how Dodge got into financial trouble to begin with! I don't want to drive a car that looks like every other model they have! I want to drive something different! The Charger used to be that! Don't they know that the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting different results? You make the same mistakes you get the same results!
So Chrysler sales being up 20% last year, better than nearly every other carmaker, is proof that you are wrong. EVERY manufacturer has cohesion to their lineup so people know it is one of their cars. Every BMW looks the same as does every Audi and hideous Nissan. Trucks too...
It's not platform sharing. One is front drive and the other is rear drive.
I didn't mean it was. I was just trying to say that making the cars look alike can make them bland. I personally like the look the way it was before.
junk!!!!!!!! looks and drives nothing like a real Charger 1969
This is one of the ugliest cars on the market...to me anyway...
