2022 Dodge Challenger | Griffin, GA 
Since its launch, the Dodge Challenger has defied expectations - and speed limits - with its intense engine lineup, signature look, and thrilling performance. The most remarkable thing about this iconic muscle car, though, is that it keeps getting better. Here is a closer look at where the athletic sports coupe started, where it's been, and where it's going. 

History of the Dodge Challenger

As a 1970 model, the Dodge Challenger roared into dealerships and the hearts of drivers in the fall of 1969 with two body options: a two-door hardtop or convertible. 
In 1971, the Challenger was chosen as a pace car in the Indianapolis 500 and offered a limited run of replicas to 50 lucky buyers. The next year, the Challenger was available only in a hardtop version and offered a game-changing three-engine lineup. 
After producing approximately 188,600 Challenger models, Dodge ended production in 1974. However, that wasn't the end. It returned in 1978 until 1984 as a two-door coupe. 
The next-century Dodge Challenger concept was revealed at the North American International Auto Show in 2006. Two years later, the SRT8® variant of the Challenger was introduced at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, the Challenger is a top-selling sports car at dealerships like Cronic Chrysler Dodge Jeep® Ram. 

Why buy a Dodge Challenger?

If you prioritize driving thrills, there really is not a comparable rival to the Dodge Challenger, especially when you consider the value you are getting for the price.
  • Eye-catching design: The Dodge Challenger is a showstopper thanks to its signature, muscular exterior design and range of bold colors. No other car on the road looks like the Challenger.
  • Great configurations: The Challenger offers a robust trim lineup and plenty of customization options so you can find the look, performance, and tech you desire most. When you opt for a Hellcat model, you will be privy to Trac Apps, which delivers stats on your performance, speed, and time. The SXT model offers available all-wheel drive, a first for a muscle car. 
  • Unrivaled performance: Its muscle-car DNA offers a thrilling, responsive experience that makes everyday roads feel like a racetrack. Take the current 2022 model, which offers an 807 horsepower rating from the engine that propels the SRT® Super Stock and SRT® Jailbreak models.
  • A comfortable ride: Then there is the impressive cargo volume and passenger room, which offer best in class measurements. Stretch out in the front seat by lounging in the dynamic sports seats. 

Current generation of the Dodge Challenger

The Dodge Challenger is currently in its third generation and has been since its revival in 2008. It received a facelift 2015 and a handful of style and performance updates every year. But, overall, Dodge has kept the underpinnings and form of the Challenger the same over the past decade. 
Currently, the Challenger offers trim levels that include the SXT, GT, R/T, R/T Scat Pack, and three different versions of the SRT (Hellcat, Hellcat Redeye, and Super Stock). All-wheel drive systems are available for most trims, and some even come in Widebody versions. 

What is new for the 2022 Challenger?

There is no doubt the Dodge Challenger gets better with age, and the 2022 model delivers exciting updates. Here's a look at what's noteworthy on the 2022 model:
  • The R/T Scat Pack, SRT Hellcat, SRT Hellcat Redeye, and SRT Super Stock offer a deluxe security alarm as standard equipment now.
  • You have a choice among six engines, starting with the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 to the top of the line Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® High-Output V8.
  • The 2022 Challenger offers a six-speed manual transmission or a TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission.
  • An array of 13 exterior color options includes Sinamon Stick, F8 Green, and TorRed.
