World-class Performance, Precision And Technology With An Iconic Soul
Building on the momentum of launching six all-new or completely redesigned vehicles for 2011, the Dodge brand is charging ahead in transmission technology for 2012. Building on the success of the all-new Charger introduced in 2011, the 2012 Dodge Charger is now the first domestic sport sedan to feature an eight-speed automatic transmission - delivering a best-in-class 31 miles per gallon (mpg) highway.
"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 31 mpg," said Reid Bigland, President and CEO, Dodge Brand - Chrysler Group LLC. "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." See what makes the 2012 Dodge Charger stand out:
Efficient and smooth: paired with the award-winning 292 horsepower 3.6-liter aluminum Pentastar V-6 engine, new Dodge Charger models with eight-speed automatic transmission deliver refinement, improved performance and best-in-class 31 miles per gallon (mpg) highway
