It's hard to believe, but outlandishly styled Dodge has been with us since late 2005. It was one of the few bright spots in the Chrysler lineup in recent years, posting strong sales results for the year. Why? Simple - it's a big, rear-drive sedan with a choice of traditional or predictive (2.7 liter V6 3.5L) or regular engine (5.7 liters, 6.1 liter Hemi V8). It was popular with people, midlife crisis, crisis, middle-class whites, because it resembles Thugged-out gangster mobile.
It is a popular recreation area pharmacists for the same reason. It is also popular with law enforcement authorities because 5.7L Hemi, recreational catch pharmacist. Of course, the height of the rear a little cramped, the trunk is too small, and the quality of the interior is nothing to write home about. But America fell in love with the concept of the traditional V8 RWD sedan in 2006 and I almost lived there.
But it's almost 2011 now officially an old charger. Rather than giving a radical redesign, happy, Chrysler realized that a good thing in his hands, and just gave us more of the same. Good job.In the first place as a new design that keeps a lot of scenarios. Behind the full width tail lights are clean - Dodge calls it a song and it was lit up to 164 LEDs (!). The front end is less visible changes, with a narrower beam and lower hood line. The back of the transformation is angular, boring style of previous models - I particularly like the integrated exhaust tips.
The charger keeps the classic "coke bottle" of the American muscle car proportions - narrow hips, broad knives - making it a muscular appearance. Overall I feel that I was actually better the previous car, without starting over - it's a more modern look and more interesting to watch, without losing the retro charm of all this is to get aggressive.
Driving is also set. Go aged 2.7 and 3.5L V6s replaced by a new 3.6-liter V6 Chrysler Pentastar. The expected output is 280 hp, and the rest of the vehicle with the engine, which more than 30bhp 3.5 and 90bhp more than 2.7 hit. Of course, the 5.7L Hemi is still the possibility of the charger (it would be like coffee without caffeine free), a variable flow and variable valve timing. He said the Dodge Charger R / T 5.7 will be a "best in class power," still does not mention any power problems. A good guess would be 390, which is what the current variable valve timing is Hemis. To comfortably above the current head of the family sedan also Taurus SHO with its 365bhp twin-turbo V6.Fri AWD will continue on a charger, but only to TR 5.7. Instead of full-time 4WD system, AWD R / T with an active transmission and front axle make him let go RWD detects skidding and connects the front axle. Dodge says that 5% of fuel consumption with this system, which reduces the mileage penalty, while the AWD-hours traction advantages of the present system.
The new charger is equipped with safety and entertainment technology is still a family-sedan segment. Stability Control is standard, and options include Active Cruise Control with Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring and rear cross path detection. You'll also be able to go back on back-up camera to help with parking, sat-nav, Chrysler uConnect media traffic system with Sirius and fuel, dual-zone climate control, and many other luxury goodies.
For those who want more power, expect SRT-8 version of the debut shortly after the new battery production begins, probably with a new 6.4 liter Hemi SRT (475bhp), in the restored 2011 Challenger debuted with a similar engine line-up. Not announced, so expect more specific information about the decline in the near future. The new Charger, Grand Cherokee, plus the new Durango should help to jump back on the map to the consumer, now offer products that people actually want. Time will tell.
