This is my car, except that I have the 2014 SXT Plus so it has a few more features as far as the trim package. But same color! Ten years later and I still love this car!
Many thanks, nice video.
The acceleration tests show nicely that the A8 (applied since model year 2015) does good favor for the the V6. The A8 gearbox keeps the little V6 better in torque band, making the take-off and accelerations while driving a bit faster. However it requires rather aggressive downshifts even after little step on the pedal, the 8-th gear is like highway overdrive. Challenger is a big and heavy car (2 tons).
People often show some hate to the V6's - but if one keeps in mind this particular trim is more a stylish cruiser than true muscle car, the car is really good for what it is - beautiful, spacious and comfortable coupe, great cruiser that even we silly Europeans can use as daily (including fuel consumption). And if you do not need to race, still she is fast enough for normal driving and some fun.
And looking on the world around over the long hood is just priceless...
From happy 2020 GT AWD user🙂
True. I have a first gen 300 with the old 3.5 V6 and 5-Speed and I absolutly love it. Even with the V6 it's awesome.
i have 2nd gen 300 as lancia thema rebadged but i will rerebadged back to chrysler, with 3.6 and 8 speed automatic is very fast and fuel efficient, soon i will get Stage 1 and remove vmax limiter. i hope i can hit over 265 kmh. @martin styblo, nice GT AWD! my dream is to get charger GT and put supercharger kit, that will be +450 hp
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK Yes, the 3.6 with the 8-Speed is a very nice combination You don't really need the V8 👍🏻
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK The Chally is my mid-age crisis sin:-)
I always wanted American cruiser... I was thinking about Challenger R/T (to get the V8), but new R/T's (5.7) are here difficult to get; choice was finally between GT AWD and 392. I though 392 would have ben too much, not only due to the price but also taking into my life driving experience into account. And I shall say the V6 is great, ready to daily driving (including winter) and still having some fun. Just sometimes I miss the V8 rumble and low-end torque, but the sound of Pentastar isn't bad for me too.
If I had no other family car, I would think about Charger GT AWD as family sedan.
The supercharged GT AWD would be nice all-year round "Hellkitten":-)
Greetings from Prague, take care and keep your great reviews - they are great to watch.
@@martinstyblo6355 ah ty jsi z ceske republike, my family is from czech republic in silesia/moravia, i born and raised in germany and now live in switzerland. ja mluvim trosku cesky. i had 2013 charger RT and drive twice across czech (rozvadov to near ostrava) average 12.5 L, and everyone was moving head while they pass me or i overtaking them xD they look to the car like i have Supercar or Aventador, even some was making photos etc :)
My fav car!!! May be one day I become crazy and go for it...with V8 engine, may be....good video!!
yes, i am 3.6 L V6 Pentastar owner, so good engine and very fuel efficient :)
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK oh Man...the V6 sure it's more efficient but I love the Hemi roar...😍😍
@@davidcasas3862 thats true, but bit expensive for fuel and taxes, if very rich then no problem :)
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK oh...then I have a problem. Not rich at all...🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@davidcasas3862 But i think many people can afford v6 in europe, if taxes are not so high just maybe double like from 200 € to 400 € is not big difference, just drive gentle and save fuel and save money for taxes and insurance, my insurance dont cost much because they look New car catalog price, in germany they look of how much KW then more insurance cost, in swiss they look how much was this car as brand new car. If drive lots country road and highway its good fuel consumption. i had 5.8 liter 100-120 kmh gentle highway trip, in cold weather is around 6.7-7 liter. in City more than 10 liter but i dont drive much in city
Damn, that was interesting! Never saw any practical video about previous Challenger
At 160 kmh consumption you switched numbers between miles and kilometers. Acceleration to 100 kmh is slow but it catches up to 160 kmh and 200 kmh.
Car of my dreams 😍
Wirklich informatives Video, klasse gemacr👍
danke
Stock exhaust? Good sound. Good video as always.
its bit tuned exhaust, i have same engine, this one is bit louder
Good car with supercharger
All Dodge Challengers are awesome 😎
I like this interior better than my current '19 challenger 😅
Thats interesting, comparing the two I definitely like the later one. Exterior, I like the older front and newer rear.
My dream car ❣❣❣❣
I would love it to own and drive
Very very nice video for the person who wants to buy such car.
Was there some something to soft that allows having nice “fart” exhaust sound during gear change? That is sweet
And how do you drive it in Germany with red turn signals?:)
this vehicle is for US military in germany, thats why red turn signal :)
Hello, sir. what is the maximum mileage a 3.5 or 3.6 dodge engine can do??
Coming soooooooooner than later
Test drive Chrysler 300c crd touring
its hard to get this but we will try
The sound is quite ok for a v6. anyone know what was changed in it. Just the muffler removed or something else?
Yeah cut the muf an you'll get the pop
Aye i have a question, where did you get the SCT badge on the grill? I been looking for something like that, thats not thin or looks like its going to break off. Please I want that on my car

Where is the best place to get a spoiler like that for the 2014 challenger?
I know I'm late but I got my from amazon. Paint matched and all.
Ist der abgeregelt bei 220 kmh?
you can test drive charger sxt 2014
we have new charger here in our channel i think 2019, we will try test older charger too, i have also 2013 Charger RT here
That interior is so bad compared to the exterior
Exactly what I'm thinking. Huge difference maker for me which is the exact reason Im not buying this car.
@@lesa8315 it feels so old and cheap. The steering wheel absolutely has to go. And the gauges are ugly.
It's retro, it's supposed to look like that
@@Akac3shlike your mom

Hi bro? Wich headunit did you installed ?? Does it works with everything in the car ? Can you add backup camera ?
O básico que satisfaz.
7.2 litres that is really low he he
With average gas price 0.75 euro per liter in US its not that hard to own this car there.
i have same engine 3.6L V6 but with fuel efficient 8 speed transmission. on highway i get around 5.5-7 liter (100-130 kmh), in german high speed driving (140-180 kmh) around 9.5 liter
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK Challeger GT AWD - even in city traffic I can still be not too much above 11 L/100 km, and long trips on highway when running on legal limits very easily below 9, when smoothly floating around 150 km/h I still can keep around 10. Having heavy foot on each pull of course takes more fuel. I guess Charger and 300 might have better aerodynamics than Challenger and maybe they have taller rear - AWD has I guess a bit shorter gearing than RWD. Anyway those numbers are great for such cars with that comfort, style and 300 HP.
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK For such a big engine it's a excelent consumption. Just little higher than a regular 2.0 petrol from any german producer.
@@martinstyblo6355 this numbers is true, but the AWD i think they use 0.5-2 liter more than RWD in different speed :) i have RWD and use in Winter too and has no problem because car is heavier but some slippering at uphill, but with good winter tyres then almost no problem :)
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK The AWD engages front axle only if low temperature, washers active or when rear wheels slip. Of course there are still some parasitic resistances and some weight in excess. So the gas consumption difference is bigger in winter. You are right, good tyres and non-stupid driver are the basics, the AWD really however nicely improves winter or wet grass climbs... all these cars with this AWD platform are like SUV's:-) One can find astonishing videos with winter shots of 4*4 tractor slipping and then Chally AWD goes much more smoothly the same hill.
A dying dinosaur..... 😆😆🙄
Thanks for the Vid anyway....
In fact we will miss these dinosaurs... Not everybody is eager to enjoy sharp sporty cars. The old-school cruisers will unfortunately disappear from the production of new cars within few years, I am afraid.
Limited speed...🤦♂️
yes but i have same engine and 242 kmh limiter, but soon i will remove limiter with stage 1
@@TESTDRIVEFREAK how do you do stage 1 ?
There is 3 or 4 company that i know in germany and Switzerland that they do make around 20-35 HP more for around 500-1000 usd, so will be around 320-340 HP
