2015 Dodge Challenger review

1. Iconic, eye-catching styling 

The 2015 Challenger does a great job of blending throwback retro styling with a thoroughly modern and contemporary vibe. From the aggressive front headlights and grille to the sculpted body lines, it’s an effortlessly stylish package that oozes presence and curb appeal. That’s before you add available cosmetic upgrades like a rear spoiler and retro-inspired stripe graphics. Get ready to turn heads on the street as you drive past.  

2. Strong V8 engines 

There are three engine options available for the 2015 Challenger, including two muscular V8 motors. To start with, R/T models have a 5.7L V8 engine under the hood, packing 375 horsepower. On SRT models, you get an uprated 6.4L V8 motor producing 485 horsepower. With a zero to 60 mph time of just 4.5 seconds, thrills are guaranteed every time you put your foot down away from the lights.  

3. Roomy cabin 

For more sedate daily driving and highway cruising, the 2015 Challenger offers a spacious and well-appointed cabin. There’s seating for five passengers, and with 42 inches of front seat legroom and 33.1 inches of rear seat legroom, you and your crew all have enough space to stretch out and get comfortable. You’ll also enjoy comfort features like leather upholstery, automatic climate control, and heated front seats on SXT Plus and R/T Plus trims upwards. 

4. Generous trunk and cargo space 

While you get comfortable in the cabin, you’ll have plenty of room in the trunk to store everything you need for the journey ahead. There’s a total of 16.2 cu-ft of cargo volume behind the rear seats, enough to swallow up everything from the weekly groceries to luggage cases with room to spare. Should you need more room to transport oversized items, 60/40 split-folding rear seats are included as standard. 

5. Wealth of tech features 

Not including the Hellcat, which is covered separately, the 2015 Challenger has six trim levels and an array of tech and convenience features across the range. The Uconnect® infotainment system is standard on all models, with a five-inch touchscreen on base models and an 8.4-inch touchscreen on all models above SXT Plus. Meanwhile, the top-line SRT 392 packs an 18-speaker Harmon Kardon^® sound system, as well as blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
