“Most people think of Chargers and Challengers as\nhigh-performance muscle cars, which clearly they are, but they can also be\nfour-season-capable AWD performance cars,” said Tim Kuniskis, Global Head\nof Alfa Romeo and Head of Passenger Cars \u2013 Dodge, SRT\u00ae<\/sup>, Chrysler and FIAT\u00ae<\/sup>, FCA \u2013\nNorth America. \u201cOnly Dodge offers vehicles that combine practicality and\nall-weather driving confidence without sacrificing muscle car attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All-wheel drive shouldn\u2019t mean compromise for muscle car\nenthusiasts, and with a variety of standard convenient features and performance\nparts, the Charger GT AWD has tons to offer, all year long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Charger GT AWD features Dodge\u2019s award-winning 3.6-liter\nPentastar V6 engine, which delivers 300 horsepower at 6,350 rpm and a\nresponsive 264 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,800 rpm. It\u2019s paired with the standard\nTorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, offering up to an EPA-estimated\n18 city\/27 hwy miles per gallon (mpg). A tuned induction system and dual\nexhaust from the manifolds back to the tips help deliver more than 90 percent\nof the engine\u2019s peak torque from 1,800 to 6,400 rpm \u2013 all for outstanding\ndrivability and responsiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the class-exclusive all-wheel-drive system with\nactive transfer case and front-axle disconnect, the Charger GT AWD carries\nCharger\u2019s unmistakable, menacing performance look and features with the\nstandard performance hood, front and rear fascias, sculpted side sills,\nspoiler, all-wheel-drive suspension, 3.07 rear axle ratio, performance steering\nwheel with paddle shifters, Dodge Performance Pages with the 8.4-inch Uconnect\u00ae<\/sup>\nscreen, Houndstooth cloth high-bolstered performance seats and Dark Dub Plate\ninstrument panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dodge Charger GT AWD features Dodge\u2019s high-performance,\ntechnologically advanced all-wheel-drive system, which includes a\nclass-exclusive active transfer case that delivers excellent all-season\nperformance and fuel economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Charger GT AWD seamlessly transitions between rear-wheel drive\nand all-wheel drive with no driver intervention. For the driver who wants to\nengage the AWD system full-time, the Charger GT\u2019s AWD system also can be activated\nfor full-time engagement with the push of the Sport button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the enthusiast who truly values the rear-wheel-drive\nperformance Charger delivers, the front wheels are disengaged and 100 percent\nof the engine\u2019s torque is directed to the rear wheels. This preserves the\noutstanding fun-to-drive performance and handling characteristics inherent to\nrear-wheel-drive vehicles. When sensors indicate the need for additional\ntraction, the system automatically engages the front wheels, instantly transitioning\nCharger GT AWD into all-wheel-drive mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhanced with Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), the Charger GT AWD\nhas impressive handling on all surfaces, especially snow and slush. VDC\nprovides excellent traction on slippery surfaces and also helps the driver\nmaintain the desired vehicle path. Enhancing the on-road dynamic performance\nusing precise front-to-rear torque control integrated with the Electronic\nStability Control (ESC) system, VDC maintains fun-to-drive character of the\nCharger, regardless of road conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the new Charger GT AWD features Sport mode, paddle\nshifters and Dodge Performance Pages. With Sport mode active, AWD is fully\nengaged, gear changes are quicker and revs are held higher for even more\nperformance-oriented acceleration. For even more control, the driver can also\nuse the die-cast steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters and view gear selection\nthrough the full-color Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) centered in\nthe instrument cluster.\n\nThe\nSuper Track Pak button activates Dodge Performance Pages and launch control\nfeatures embedded in the 8.4-inch touchscreen radio. Visible performance\ninformation, such as reaction times, 0-60 times, G-force indicator and lap\ntimes, can be monitored, and even mirrored, in the 7-inch thin-film transistor\n(TFT) customizable cluster display. The new Charger GT AWD model also features\nthree-mode ESC with \u201cfull-off\u201d mode, a fun feature for drifting through snowy\nscenes.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
