Dodge Challenger GT Review: What’s New in 2022 | Blog

When talking about powerful cars, especially talking about powerful Dodges, the Dodge Challenger GT is a name you should hear. In this Dodge Challenger GT review, we’re going to see what’s new to that name in 2022. Is it just a pretender to that storied line or can it live up to its past namesakes?

Naturally, there will be diehard muscle car fans professing love for the 2022 Challenger and its predecessors. What about the average driver or casual car fan? Can someone like that also find a similar enthusiasm for the Challenger GT? We’ll find out together just what the Dodge Challenger GT has to offer new in 2022.

The 2022 Dodge Challenger GT Under the Hood

As any car-lover knows, the best way to see what a car offers is to open it up. To start, let’s take a closer look at what the 2022 Dodge Challenger GT has to offer under the hood. The 2022 Dodge Challenger GT has a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine standard. This engine generates over 300 horsepower, with an estimated top speed of around 143 miles per hour. With speed-sensitive electric power-assist handling even at top speed, the Challenger GT handles very well. In terms of 0-to-60 speeds, the Challenger GT has a contending 6-second time but is outperformed by some competition.

The interior may impress, but how does it look from the outside? The Challenger GT is designed with inspiration drawn from previous models of the line and other muscle cars. If a muscle car fan isn’t impressed by the interior, the exterior will at least draw their attention. 

The Dodge Challenger GT comes with trim options typically reserved for the more expensive variations of the model. To the casual observer, the differences between the Challenger GT and those variations might be minimal (if any). It’s always nice to have something so flashy. The Challenger GT is a great choice to start if you want something powerful and luxurious but still reasonably priced.

Dodge Challenger GT Has All-Wheel Drive

The Dodge Challenger GT also comes with optional all-wheel drive, something not all of its competitors can claim to offer. While overall performance suffers, anyone who lives in a region prone to icy roads knows the value of all-wheel drive. All the forward wheel power in the world is only good for so much if those wheels can’t find traction. This can make the Challenger GT a better option on roads that its competition might have difficulty finding traction on. Knowing that extra reliability is available adds an extra layer of dependability to the Challenger GT’s powerful performance.

The Dodge Challenger GT drives fast, looks good doing it, and can drive that well year-round with all-wheel drive. There are muscle car fans who will probably argue against the Challenger’s performance. For most drivers’ needs and in most performance settings these differences are minimal. What stands out is the comfortability and ease of performance. If you get the chance to take a test drive you can see for yourself just how well it performs. It might not be the fastest car of its kind, but it looks and feels amazing getting to those speeds.
