The 2019 Dodge Challenger is unique in the sports car class for offering all-wheel drive on its lower trim levels. This can be a must-have for drivers in Cincinnati, OH where inclement weather requires additional traction and stability.

Across the Challenger lineup, three-mode electronic stability control puts power where you need it and helps maintain traction even on slippery surfaces by braking individual wheels when loss of control is detected.

Your 2019 Dodge Challenger automatically detects and adjusts between all-wheel and rear-wheel drive when needed. Electronic power steering also provides additional responsiveness.

What Other Unique Features Are There?

Each Challenger model includes access to Performance Pages, which provide real-time information on your engine and performance, including a g-force meter and drag timers.

Drivers can access this information through the standard 7" display above the steering wheel or the larger standard 8.4" touchscreen console.

The Challenger also offers more subtle performance features, like rain brake support. This feature uses the windshield to detect rain, which triggers the brake rotors to pulse, helping them stay safe and dry.

Is the Scat Pack a RT?

Edmunds reports that the Challenger R/T Scat Pack is the model's best selling trim and it's not hard to see why. The trim packs a punch—and a lot of muscle thanks to the 6.4-liter V8 resting under the hood. Buyers can expect the massive engine to generate 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque.

Is a 5.7 Hemi a Scat Pack?

The Dodge Scat Pack at 485 hp sits in the middle of the Dodge passenger-car lineup with the 372-hp 5.7-liter Hemi-powered R/T Charger and Challenger just below it and the 717-hp 6.2-liter Hellcat Charger and Challenger just above it.

What is the difference between a Scat Pack and a RT 392?

Furthermore, both cars weigh about the same and incorporate the same styling. The only real difference between the cars is some of the SRT features that the Scat Pack didn't offer. Specifically, the SRT 392, like the Hellcat, has SRT performance pages, different interior materials, wheels, and badging throughout.

What is the difference between a hemi and a Scat Pack?

There are two primary differences between Hellcat models and Scatpack models: engine and price. The Challenger and Charger Hellcat models feature the supercharged 6.2L Hemi engine that gets more than 700 horsepower, which does dwarf the Scatpack's 6.4L Hemi and its 475 horsepower output.
