The 2022 Dodge Challenger R/T Coupe 2D stands as a classic, pure-American muscle car benchmark, celebrating the legendary heritage of Dodge's classic performance coupe with unmistakable retro styling and authentic V8 power. Built on a full-size rear-wheel-drive platform, the Challenger R/T combines an assertive road presence with comfortable long-distance highway cruising capability and spacious interior seating for a performance two-door coupe.
Under the long, iconic aluminum hood with functional dual air scoops lies Dodge’s naturally aspirated 5.7-liter HEMI® DOHC 16-valve V8 engine. This classic powertrain produces 375 horsepower at 5,150 RPM and 410 lb-ft of torque at 4,300 RPM when paired with the standard Tremec® 6-speed manual transmission (or 372 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque when mated to the optional TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission with steering-wheel paddle shifters). Power is routed exclusively to the rear wheels through a mechanical limited-slip rear differential. Supported by a performance-tuned suspension, 4-wheel heavy-duty disc brakes, and electronic stability control, the Challenger R/T launches from 0 to 60 MPH in 5.0 seconds on its way to a top track speed of 155 MPH.
On the exterior, the 2022 Challenger R/T executes an aggressive retro visual statement defined by its split front grille, halo LED daytime running lights with illuminated Air-Catcher® headlights, split LED taillamps, chrome fuel filler door, dual bright exhaust tips, and iconic 'HEMI' fender badging. Functional exterior features include power-folding heated side mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, a rear spoiler, and a grounded stance rolling on 20-inch Satin Carbon aluminum wheels wrapped in high-performance all-season tires.
Inside, the driver-centric cockpit welcomes up to five adults into one of the largest passenger cabins in the pony car segment, lined with Houndstooth cloth sport seats (or optional Nappa leather with Alcantara® suede inserts). The interior layout includes an 8-way power driver seat with 4-way power lumbar support, a leather-wrapped performance steering wheel, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, Keyless Enter 'n Go™ proximity entry with push-button start, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks. Digital connectivity centers around the Uconnect® 4 infotainment system featuring a standard 7.0-inch color touchscreen display (or optional 8.4-inch display with Navigation). System features include Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Bluetooth® phone and audio streaming, SiriusXM®, Dodge Performance Pages telemetry readouts, dual USB media ports, and a 6-speaker audio system (or available 9-speaker Alpine® Premium Audio System or 18-speaker Harman Kardon® GreenEdge® Surround Sound System).
Practicality and interior space allocation remain top-tier for a performance coupe thanks to its long 116.2-inch wheelbase. Opening the trunk lid reveals a massive 16.2 cubic feet of cargo trunk space, easily surpassing competitors like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. Folding the 60/40 split rear seatbacks flat further expands storage volume into the cabin for longer luggage, equipment, or travel gear.
Backed by an 18.5-gallon fuel tank, the 5.7L V8 automatic achieves an EPA-estimated 16 MPG city and 25 MPG highway (15/23 MPG with manual transmission). Safety features include Electronic Stability Control (ESC), All-Speed Traction Control, Hill Start Assist, ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera, available Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, available Forward Collision Warning, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and an advanced 6-airbag protection canopy network—including multistage front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, and full-length side-curtain airbags—to guarantee absolute driving confidence.
