Iconic Exterior Styling
The different Challenger trims boast exteriors that come with a variety of hoods, badges, and racing stripes.

Exciting exterior colors that you can choose from include Plum Crazy, Go Mango, IndiGo Blue, and Octane Red.
With the 2019 Challenger also comes a Widebody option for the Scat Pack trim. This model adds 3.5 inches to the width of the Challenger, which allows for bigger tires and better grip.
Roomy Interior
The cabin of the Challenger is one of the roomiest in this segment and can easily accommodate four adults. Offering 16.2 cubic feet of cargo space, the trunk is also large. With the Scat Pack trim you’ll get cloth sport seats, but you can also opt for a Nappa leather trim with suede bolsters.

Race-Car Performance
The Scat Pack features a 392 HEMI V-8 engine that produces 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. The engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, but you can opt for an eight-speed automatic, and rear-wheel drive is standard.
