With its iconic character, contemporary fastback four-door coupe proportions, world-class performance, craftsmanship and refinement, and state-of-the-art connectivity features, the all-new 2011 Dodge Charger is the Dodge brand's flagship, and it proudly delivers premium, world-class E-segment sedan precision at an incredible value.
"Dodge is changing the rules of the game, and the all-new 2011 Charger embodies the brand's promise to deliver American performance machines that deliver world-class efficiency, technology, authentic materials and standout styling for our customers, who like us, are young at heart and make driving a priority," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "With its all-new fastback four-door coupe proportions, iconic styling to excite enthusiastic Dodge fans, benchmark performance and precision handling, the latest in-car technology and high-quality execution and materials, the Dodge Charger is loaded with attitude and innovation, and delivers an extreme dose of value."
2011 Dodge Charger received a number of significant upgrades, including fresh styling, high-quality interior materials, engine 3.6-liter all-new and more powerful V6 engine, suspension back again, electric-assist power steering, more standard features and new interface electronics. High-performance SRT8 model has been dropped for now, but it is possible to return in the future.
One of the most significant of these changes is the introduction of the all-new Pentastar V6 3.6-liter V6s that take place outside the model 2.7-liter and 3.5 liter. With 292 horsepower on tap - an increase of 114 hp and 42 hp respectively over the previous V6 engine - This new powertrain be a good alternative for the Charger R / T carryover 5.7-liter V8.
Charger interior has also received a makeover, with stylish looks and soft-touch materials to replace the look soft and hard plastic that gives the cabin the previous low-budget feel. List of standard features and options has increased substantially as well, and now includes the latest high-tech bells and whistles, including services that access the Sirius Travel Link info from a local gas prices for live weather radar image. Equally good is the Cross Traffic Alert system is available that create blind retreat from the parking lot much less stressful.
The change is most noticeable thing new exterior styling Charger's. This new version sports a front end looks more aggressive, striking shells on the hood and side panels, along with a new taillight treatments has 164 bright LEDs arranged in a typical pattern.
WORLD-CLASS PERFORMANCE, EXECUTION AND REFINEMENT
As the Dodge brand's all-new flagship four-door coupe, the 2011 Charger exemplifies how Chrysler Group is applying strict targets for world-class performance, quality, technology and refinement.
As Chrysler Group defines it, performance quality measures how well a vehicle performs compared with its competition. Dodge Charger engineers evaluated more than 320 physical characteristics of best-in-class sport sedans from Europe, Asia and North America, and then established criteria for the four-door fastback to compete as a world-class performance sedan. Criteria such as acceleration, braking, handling, seat comfort, quietness, storage space and fuel economy were benchmarked in the team's research.
The Dodge Charger's world-class structural stiffness provides the foundation for its world-class handling and dynamic driving performance. With respect to ride quality, precision steering and performance handling, the Charger was designed and validated to meet or exceed the performance standards of premium brands such as BMW and Lexus.
In addition, the Charger team used Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) principles and more than 4,100 customer "wants," which were integrated in the vehicle design and performance quality targets. Consumer products designed using DFSS generally are expected to better match customer desires and offer higher quality.
Significantly refined compared with its predecessor, the 2011 Dodge Charger was designed to match the noise, vibrations and harshness (NVH) performance of the benchmark vehicle in its class, the BMW 5-Series - a vehicle that costs thousands of dollars more. Evaluations in Chrysler Group's state-of-the-art aerodynamic and acoustic test facilities showed that Dodge engineers not only met their goal, but achieved quieter levels than other E-segment competitors.
To validate the design, Dodge engineers tested the Charger for more than 7 million miles during its reliability and durability evaluation in the company's scientific labs, at the proving grounds and on public roads in various climates.
Engineers also studied and set performance quality targets for more obscure vehicle attributes such as tire wear, door sound, windshield-wiper performance, trunk lighting and outward visibility — among hundreds of other things.
