2015 Dodge Charger Gets Dramatic Facelift
Dodge says it reworked just about every body panel in redesigning its Charger for 2015.
While the car’s side profile seems mainly unchanged, the face of the Charger looks decidedly different. Taking cues from the smaller Dodge Dart, the 2015 Charger has a blacked-out grille, slimmer headlights, and C-shaped LED daytime running lamps. The front bumper and hood have also been redesigned, with the bumper now incorporating separate LED running light units.
The 5.7L HEMI is back for the high performance models, but four-cylinder deactivation technology gives the Charger’s fuel efficiency a boost.

2015 Dodge Challenger Takes Cues from Iconic 1971 Challenger
Featuring a new split grille, larger power bulge in the hood, gloss black trim, and redesigned rear valance for a wider, lower appearance, the 2015 Challenger takes its design cues from the 1971 Dodge Challenger. Inside, the Challenger combines classic styling—high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels—with modern touches like an 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display.
The Challenger will be offered in eight trim levels, the most powerful of which come with the 485-horsepower 6.4L HEMI V8 (6.4L Scat Pack and 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker). The R/T, R/T Plus, R/T Shaker, and R/T Plus Shaker will come with the 5.7L HEMI; the SXT and SXT Plus trim levels will have the 3.6L V6.
A TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission is also now available on all trim levels.
