The FCA US LLC TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission is standard on every Dodge Charger model, everything from the SE, SXT, R/T, R/T Scat Pack and SRT 392 to the SRT Hellcat. The 2016 Charger also offers a full range of fuel-efficient and powerful engine options, including the award-winning 3.6-liter V-6 Pentastar engine, which delivers up to 31 miles per gallon (mpg) on SE and SXT models; the legendary 370-horsepower 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 on the R/T; the 6.4-liter HEMI V-8, which punches out a best-in-class, naturally aspirated 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque in the SRT 392 and R/T Scat Pack models and the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI Hellcat V-8 engine. The Charger Hellcat delivers the ultimate performance with 707 horsepower, 650 lb.-ft. of torque, a top speed of 204 miles per hour (mph), National Hot Rod Association (NHRA)-certified, quarter-mile elapsed time of 11.0 seconds on street tires and does 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds – making it the quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world. 

All-new Blacktop Appearance Group for 2016 Dodge Charger models
Dodge introduced the very first Blacktop package on the 2012 model year Charger, and back by popular demand, America’s performance car brand is bringing the sinister-styled Blacktop Appearance Group back to the Charger SXT model with up to 300 horsepower or the HEMI V-8 powered Charger R/T model with 370 horsepower.
 
Delivering customers an exclusive “blacked out” design with an exhilarating driving experience and exceptional value, the Dodge Charger Blacktop starts with Gloss Black treatment on the split-crosshair grille and fascia insert for a bolder “mask” appearance that further emphasizes its forward-leaning “superhero stance.” Gloss Black mirrors and large, 20-in. five-spoke Gloss Black aluminum wheels wrapped with all-season tires give this four-door muscle car a discrete look. At the rear, a one-piece Satin Black performance spoiler provides downforce, while the Satin Black badge continues the unique look.

With the Blacktop, Dodge Charger’s menacing style is further amplified through discrete and subtle dark interior finishes and appointments. Painted accents feature K-Black bezels to accentuate the Dark Brushed II aluminum instrument panel and aluminum center console bezels. For added sinister detail, the dual analog gauges feature Gloss Black cluster rings, while the cluster perimeter is finished with the same treatment. New to this price class is the Dodge performance-contoured steering wheel for even more driver control. Premium cloth or available perforated Nappa leather sport-contoured seats in Black are finished with Tungsten accent stitching for an industrial look. Completing the blacked-out interior appearance are premium velour-bound floor mats with an embroidered Dodge logo in Tungsten.

Super Track Pak now available on 2016 Charger SXT
New for 2016 and for the first time available on a V-6 Dodge Charger, the Super Track Pak provides the Charger SXT with a full complement of race-bred chassis upgrades for maximum performance on road and track. Like the HEMI-powered Charger R/T Road & Track model, the Charger SXT with Super Track Pak lowers the suspension by 0.5 inch and adds Bilstein shock absorbers and a specially tuned suspension. For quicker acceleration, a 3.07 rear axle ratio is also included. The Super Track Pak comes complete with a shortcut button to the Dodge Performance Pages embedded in the 8.4-inch touchscreen display and provides visible performance information, such as programmable shift light indicator, reaction time, 0-60 times, G-force indicator and lap times in the 7-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) customizable cluster display.
 
Charger pays homage to its past; offers distinctly modern exterior and interior appointments
The exterior of the 2016 Dodge Charger is spiritually inspired by the iconic second-generation Charger from the late 1960s, specifically drawing on cues from the historic 1969 model, which include the unmistakable Coke-bottle design and scalloped body sides. The hood, fenders, front and rear fascias, headlamps, tail lamps, front doors and spoiler all work together to provide the Charger with a chiseled, nimble and lighter-weight appearance.
 
Dodge Charger SXT and R/T models include a crosshair grille, LED fog lamps (on SXT and R/T), turn signals and day-time running lamps (DRL), and projector-beam, high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps (on premium trims). A forward-leaning front fascia gives Charger a superhero’s confident stance, while blacked out front-end graphics with the Rallye Group and on R/T models create a mask that resembles the bloodlines to Dodge Dart and Durango. For added detail, elongated DRLs and a
full-width grille enhance the width of the sedan, while Dodge logos are echoed in the corner of each headlamp.
 
More streamlined side scallops enhance the Dodge Charger sedan’s muscular Coke-bottle profile, while a distinct C-pillar gives the sedan a pronounced fastback appearance (moved rearward), plus headlamps and tail lamps wrapped at the corners provide a tailored look and significantly lighter appearance.

Charger’s signature “racetrack” LED tail lamp features the continuous glowing ribbon first seen on the 2014 Dodge Durango, while its center high-mounted stop lamp is located inside the back glass to center-mount the available ParkView backup camera. Final details include a fascia-mounted dual-exhaust system and available three-piece low profile spoiler.
 
The Dodge and SRT design teams built upon the Charger’s modern four-door fastback coupe’s already iconic exterior styling by adding a sinister-looking, unique front fascia, hood, rear fascia and spoiler.

Up front, the Charger SRT Hellcat receives the larger, power-bulge aluminum hood, which features a dedicated cold-air intake – a visual styling cue from the first Viper coupe built in 1996 – and dual air extractors to ensure effective removal of heat and reduced air turbulence in the engine compartment.
 
The redesigned front fascia and grille on both Charger SRT Hellcat and 392 models, as well as the R/T Scat Pack, use unique, blacked out upper and lower textures to produce the menacing look that is sure to make onlookers notice the ultimate performance sedans.
 
An integrated front splitter on both SRT models and the R/T Scat Pack optimizes airflow to the cooling modules without compromising vehicle balance.
 
At the rear, a single piece decklid spoiler is painted in body color on the SRTs and satin black on the R/T Scat Pack, while the unique fascia and valence showcase the 4-inch round exhaust tips.
 
New again for 2016, for a limited time, special heritage exterior colors include Plum Crazy, which joins B5 Blue and TorRed, as well as Redline Red Tri-coat Pearl, Jazz Blue Pearl, Granite Crystal Metallic, Maximum Steel Metallic, Billet Silver Metallic, Pitch Black, Ivory Tri-coat Pearl and Bright White.

Sporty wheels and heritage colors complete the palette
A total of 15 wheel options are available with 20-inch wheels standard on R/T models. In fact, 11 different 20-inch wheels are available on Charger for 2016, including an R/T Scat Pack-exclusive 20-by-9-inch polished-aluminum wheel with black pockets. Additionally, a 20-by-9-inch forged aluminum wheel finished in Hyper Black II paint is available.
 
All Charger SRT models receive Slingshot split-seven spoke 20-by-9.5-inch, lightweight forged-aluminum wheels in Hyper Black on the SRT 392 or standard Matte Black on SRT Hellcat with Brass Monkey/Dark Bronze finish available.
 
Driver-oriented interior with craftsmanship and world-class materials
Dodge Charger’s driver-focused interior features premium, soft-touch materials, a full-color 7-inch customizable driver information display (DID) gauge cluster, plus an instrument panel center stack with the newest Uconnect system with segment’s largest available 8.4-inch touchscreen display available.
 
The Charger’s interior is instantly brought to life by its unique premium aluminum-lithograph driver bezel, which enables a seamless, billeted and highly detailed appearance that carries through the instrument cluster and center console. Thanks to advanced manufacturing techniques, the aluminum bezel features one-piece construction for a consistent appearance from nearly the A-pillar to the surrounding area of the Uconnect system, highlighting all the ergonomically located vehicle functions for the driver.
 
Framing the Charger’s 7-inch color DID gauge cluster is a three-spoke thick rim sport steering wheel with available paddle shifters. The buttons to control driver, vehicle and phone information functions are large and illuminated to make them easier to operate. Charger’s popular audio controls are still found on the back of the upper steering-wheel spokes.
 
A performance-inspired electronic shifter is standard on all models. The fully electronic shifter mimics a linkage shifter, with tactile and visual cues for gear location, while providing the benefits of electronic shifting, such as short throws and low shift efforts.
 
A total of 19 interior color and trim combinations are available on the 2016 Dodge Charger, including Black and Tungsten cloth, Black and Pearl leather, and Black and Ruby Red leather.
 
Three interior environments are exclusive to the Charger R/T Scat Pack interior. Most notable are performance seats with Scat Pack embroidered on Black Ballistic II cloth, premium Black, or Ruby Red and Black, heated and ventilated Nappa leather with Alcantara suede inserts. Other unique appointments include a performance steering wheel with paddle shifters, “Scat Pack” startup splash screen, bright pedals and dark brushed interior accents.
 
Four interior trim combinations are available on the 2016 Charger SRT models: Black or Black/Ruby Red Nappa leather performance seats with Alcantara suede inserts, accent stitching and embroidered SRT logo along with Black or Black/Sepia Laguna leather performance seats, accent stitching and embossed SRT logo.

At the front, the 2016 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack stares down the competition with its menacing looks. Paying homage to the first Viper coupe built in 1996, the 2016 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack receives a power-bulge aluminum hood with NACA duct to improve engine cooling. A model-specific front fascia features an upper grille in black with dynamic grille texture, which spans between the projector headlamps for a signature graphic look that highlights Charger’s wide track. Below, a massive lower grille and integrated front splitter optimize engine and cooling module airflow. Flared side sills give the four-door muscle car an even more athletic look, while its wider 20-by-9 inch wheels provide a flusher body-side appearance and improved grip. At the rear, a single piece decked spoiler is painted in Satin Black, while the unique fascia and lower valence showcases the active exhaust system’s 4-inch round exhaust tips.
 
With a best-in-class naturally aspirated 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine, the 2016 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack delivers 115 more horsepower and a 90-lb.-ft. leap in torque compared with the 5.7-liter Charger R/T models – representing more than a 31 percent jump in horsepower and 22 percent jump in torque.
