Models: 2015 Dodge Charger at launch

Dodge appears to have upgraded the base model dramatically, following Chrysler (and Fiat)'s strategy of making their cars more desirable at all levels, and relying on sales to follow - as they generally have, so far. The top Charger, the SRT Hellcat, has been certified to run the quarter mile in 11.0 seconds on street tires, and reportedly has an unofficial 10.7 second time on drag slicks.

Dodge Charger Hellcat Options (at launch)

Contributed by Patrick Rall. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat follows the expected SRT form, coming with a long list of standard features inside and out. There aren't all that many options for buyers, since the $62,295 car includes everything that you need to love every single second of driving the 2015 Charger Hellcat, including heated leather seats and a high end infotainment system. Still, you can add some unique features to make your car different from the other examples of the world's most powerful production sedan.

First off, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat MSRP of $62,295 does not include the $1,700 gas guzzler tax or the $995 destination fee, which combine to bring the base price of the 707hp Charger to $64,990. In theory, that is the least that you can expect to pay when buying a Hellcat Charger from your local dealership before you get to cashing in favors or haggling.

The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has seven standard (no cost) exterior colors and three premium colors that add $500 to the final price. The "free" colors are Billet Silver, Bright White, Granite Crystal, Jazz Blue, Pitch Black, TorRed, and B5 Blue, while the colors that will run you an extra half grand include Ivory White Tri-Coat Pearl, Phantom Black Tri-coat Pearl, and Redline Tri-Coat Pearl.

All Hellcat Chargers come with the same lightweight wheel design, but those who want the Brass Monkey Bronze wheels can go that direction for $395 and to wrap those gorgeous wheels in 3-season performance tires will set you back another $195. Finally, if you want the black roof treatment, you can go that route for an additional $1,500.

On the inside, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat can be compared to a high end luxury car, with standard leather SRT performance seats with Alcantara inserts in black or bright red and black. Those who want a more luxurious look and feel can opt for a Laguna leather package in either black or sepia and black, for $1,795, while bright red seat belts can be added for $95 to brighten things up.

The Hellcat Charger comes with an impressive standard infotainment system, including the elaborate SRT Pages, but adding navigation runs an extra $695, and if you want a state of the art Harmon Kardon sound system connected to the infotainment system, that will add $1,995 to the bottom line. Lovers of the clear blue sky can add a sunroof to their Hellcat Charger for $1,195.

While you can drive off of the lot with an incredible super sedan for $64,990, adding every option to the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat brings the price to $71,855 (Phantom Black Tri-coat Pearl paint, Brass Monkey wheels, 3-season tires, Laguna leather, red seats and seat belts, navigation, Harmon Kardon sound system, and sunroof, with gas-guzzler tax and destination fee). Oh, and ther's also a black roof treatment, which would bring the price up to $73,355.

These are preliminary prices, which could change before the 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat arrives early next year, but these figures should be accurate enough to let those planning to buy a 707hp Mopar sedan figure out how much they will be spending to own the world's most powerful mass-production sedan.

Safety Gizmos

The 2015 Dodge Charger is loaded with safety systems, with new features including Chrysler's own lane-change and rear cross path alerts, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warnings, and a forward collision warning system.

Standard and optional features include:

  • Assist Call: Mirror-mounted buttons for emergency services, roadside assistance, customer service, and non-collision emergencies
  • Adaptive Cruise Control-Plus can bring the vehicle to a full stop without driver intervention under certain conditions; normally it provides a distance-based cruise control, using forward sensors.
  • All-row full-length side-curtain air bags extend protection to all outboard front- and rear-seat passengers. Each side air bag has its own impact sensor that autonomously triggers the air bag on the side where an impact occurs.
  • Anti-lock brakes detect rough roads by the oscillations in the wheel speed signals; when rough roads or off-road driving is detected, ABS holds the brake pressure for longer pulses
  • Auto-dimming driver's side and rear-view mirrors
  • Automatic headlamps and automatic high-beam headlamps
  • Blind-spot Monitoring (BSM): Uses dual radar sensors to notify the driver of vehicle(s) in their blind spot via lights on the side-view mirror and/or a chime.
  • In an emergency brake situation, the system applies maximum braking power (based on research that in many accidents, at least one driver didn't hit the brakes with full force). The brake-throttle override cuts engine-power output until the vehicle stops or the driver lifts their foot from the brakes, to prevent runaways.
  • The brake-lock differential system allows forward motion if one or two wheels lose traction, by selectively and aggressively applying brakes to the spinning wheels. Brake traction-control system keeps driving wheels from spinning during acceleration by applying individual brakes to the slipping wheel(s). Electronic brake-force distribution regulates braking pressure, front-to-rear.
  • Electronic locking fuel filler doors prevent theft or tampering.
  • Electronic stability control with roll prevention
  • Enhanced Accident Response System (EARS): makes it easier for emergency personnel to see and reach occupants in the event of an accident by turning on the interior lighting and unlocking doors after air bag deployment. It also shuts off flow of fuel to the engine.
  • Forward Collision Warning-Plus uses radar and video sensors to detect whether the Charger is approaching another vehicle or large obstacle in its path too rapidly, and warns or helps the driver to avoid the incident (video sensors are new to the system).
  • Front seat-belt adaptive/active load limiters optimize chest loading in an impact event, while impact sensors cause front seat-belt pretensioners to remove slack in an accident.
  • Hill-start Assist (HSA) keeps the brakes on briefly, after the driver's foot is moved from the pedal, to easily allow "non rollback" on hills.
  • Lane Departure Warning-Plus leverages electronic power steering (EPS) to deliver a torque-input to alert and assist the driver with corrective action.
  • LED tail-lamps activate instantly and grab attention more readily than traditional bulbs.
  • Rear park assist systems use ultrasonic sensors at low speeds in reverse, to detect stationary objects.
  • Rain Brake Support occasionally pushes the brake pads lightly against brake rotors in rainy conditions, to keep rotors dry.
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Reactive head restraints deploy in the event of a rear collision, minimizing the gap between the head restraint and the passenger's head.
  • Ready Alert Braking moves the brake pads closer to the rotors to allow faster braking when a collision is imminent.
  • Rear Cross Path (RCP) detection warns drivers backing out of parking spaces when traffic is moving towards their vehicle.
  • Tilt-and-telescoping steering column
