Just before the weekend started, Dodge teased<\/a> the 2019\u00a0Challenger lineup. With a confusing message and a Challenger drifting in the distance, the 2019 Challenger has broken cover with a new bonnet, new trim levels and more power.<\/p>\n

Available in no less than eight unique trim levels, with the Demon now out of production, there’s a new player in town. The Challenger Hellcat Redeye borrows heavily from the discontinued two-door including\u00a0the enhanced\u00a06.2-litre V8 with a 2.7-litre supercharger, strengthened pistons and upgraded fuel injection system. Whereas the Demon produced a whopping 840 horsepower, the Hellcat Redeye produces are moderate yet aggressive\u00a0797 horsepower and 957 Nm of torque.<\/p>\n

Exclusively\u00a0mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, the 2019 Challenger\u00a0Hellcat Redeye launches from 0-100 km\/h in 3.5 seconds before\u00a0maxing out at 326 km\/h. It also comes with a new badge stuck to the vehicle which is identical to the Hellcat badge just with a red eye.<\/p>\n

There’s a 2019 Challenger for all walks of life<\/h3>\n

Just in case the 797 is too much, after the Hellcat Redeye sits the Challenger SRT Hellcat which now produces 717 hp and 888 Nm of torque a slight increase of 10 hp compared to the current model. Next up is the Challenger R\/T Scat Pack fitted with a bellowing 6.4-litre V8 of its own rated at 485 hp and 643 Nm of torque.<\/p>\n

If the displacement is too much but a V8 is still your thing, the 2019\u00a0Challenger R\/T is next up with a 5.7-litre HEMI V8 producing 375 horses and 555 Nm of torque.<\/p>\n

New for 2019 is the GT RWD and AWD trim levels. As standard, the GT is fitted with a Super Track Pak which\u00a0includes a performance suspension system, 20-inch Granite Crystal painted rims, sculpted\u00a0bonnet and front splitter, but that’s not all. Inside, this variant gets Houndstooth seats and paddle shifters. The GT is fitted with a 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine rated at 305 hp and 363 Nm of torque.<\/p>\n

At the very bottom of the food chain is the entry-level version or SXT RWD which is powered by the same engine as the GT and it too can be fitted with AWD.<\/p>\n

The 2019 Challenger will arrive later this year or early 2019.<\/p>\n
