Building on the success of the new Dodge Charger introduced to industry acclaim last year, the 2012 Dodge Charger is the first US sport sedan to feature an eight-speed automatic transmission – delivering a ‘best-in-class’ fuel efficiency when it comes to highway cruising.
Chrysler is building on the momentum of launching six all-new or completely redesigned vehicles and says the Dodge brand is now charging ahead when it comes to transmission technology.
“The short front overhang, the wheelbase, the wheels out at the corners and the muscular track all point to a Charger that is absolutely well balanced,” said Jeffrey Barrett, general manager at Ahmed Zayani & Sons. “Add to this muscular powerplants in the form of the legendary 5.7-litre HEMI and the exciting 3.6-litre Pentastar and an interior that exudes luxury and class and you have a car that is handsome and evocative.
“It is truly a masterpiece of engineering and design which our Middle East customers have come to expect of Chrysler. With a diverse model range, there is a Charger to suit everyone’s needs.
“The new eight-speed transmission takes the Dodge Charger, which was already at the head of its class, and puts it in a league of its own, with the ultimate combination of 292 horsepower and best-in-class 31mpg.
“Our Charger customers don’t have to compromise as they can get the fuel efficiency of a mid-size car in a full-size sedan with distinctive styling only available from Dodge.”
The state-of-the-art ZF eight-speed automatic transmission will be available on rear-wheel Dodge Charger models equipped with the award-winning 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine.
For 2012, the line-up has been simplified to include SE, SXT and R/T models as available in the Middle East. They also offer technology, performance and value-packed feature packages to help customers equip their Dodge Charger to their needs.
Once limited to premium import vehicles costing twice as much, the results are quicker acceleration, seamless shifts and improved fuel efficiency. For an even more engaging driving experience, the 2012 Dodge Charger has introduced new paddle shifters with ‘Sport’ shift mode – standard on the Dodge Charger SXT and SXT.
In this mode, gear changes are quicker and revs are held higher for even greater acceleration and higher shift dynamics.
Additional equipment on the Dodge Charger R/T (Road and Track) includes a black honeycomb-style grille with matte surround and heritage R/T badge, 20-inch chrome-clad wheels, 20-inch all-season performance tyres, rear differential with 3.06 axle ratio, performance engine and transmission calibration and high-speed engine controller.
The Dodge Charger’s Uconnect Touch system has been upgraded for 2012, adding hands-free texting, voice commands for Garmin navigation and even full iPod control features to expand on the infotainment, connectivity and convenience technologies.
