2011 Dodge Charger
Dodge Brand Product Onslaught Continues: Introducing the All-new 2011 Dodge Charger, World-class
Performance and Precision With an Iconic SoulOctober 5, 2010 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - 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 Charger is the Dodge brand’s flagship
that proudly delivers premium, world-class E-segment sedan precision at an incredible value.
The efficient and aerodynamic exterior of the 2011 Dodge Charger is spiritually inspired by the iconic
second-generation Charger from the late 1960s, featuring a design that is sure to strike an emotional chord
with Dodge performance enthusiasts of all generations.
With its sinister “ready-to-attack-the-road” face, the all-new Dodge Charger puts the world’s best E-segment
sedan competitors between its new “split crosshair” signature grille. Its sculpted all-new body is a conscious
nod to its deep heritage and muscle-car roots. The Charger’s profile is also a modern affair, a result of
countless hours in the wind tunnel, from its lower hood line, faster windshield and radically raked back light,
to its tighter wheel openings, lower sill and race-car-like flat underbody, the Charger effortlessly cuts thought
the air with its attitude intact. The aluminum hood features dual “scallops” that bring a sculptured,
performance look to the front end, while large body-side scallops deliver a striking undulating A-line across
the doors. Running front to rear is the iconic horizontal “coke bottle” or “double-diamond” body-side styling
that creates a tapering silhouette accented with muscular front and rear fenders and gives the Dodge Charger
one of the most distinct profiles on the road. Defining the fastback’s wide stance is an all-new signature
taillamp design that incorporates 164 illuminating LEDs to form its signature “racetrack” graphic and gives the
new Charger its unmistakable character from blocks away.
The 2011 Dodge Charger’s interior cockpit is meant to be an enthusiast office. The all new design feature
premium materials throughout. Transmitting the performance chassis’ world-class feel of the road, the
all-new Charger features a new thick-rimmed three-spoke Dodge steering wheel for enhanced performance
feel and grip. Crafted in world-class materials, Charger’s passengers are surrounded with comfort,
craftsmanship and style, thanks to premium soft-touch materials and four available distinct interior color
combinations. The all-new 2011 Dodge Charger’s state-of-the-art Uconnect® Touch integrates world-class
infotainment and convenience technologies to keep passengers connected, comfortable and secure. From
segment-leading Garmin® navigation, to dual-zone climate controls and the ability to check fuel prices with
the integration of available SIRIUS Travel Link, Uconnect Touch delivers an excellent experience for Charger’s
driver and passengers.
Maximizing its unibody’s world-class structural stiffness, Dodge Charger engineers were able to tune the cabin
for sound quality (rather than sound level) by isolating powertrain, road and wind noise. In addition, Charger’s
unibody packages material and structural design improvements, including dual-pane acoustic windshield and
front-door side glass, body-cavity silencing foam, under-flush roll-framed doors with triple seals and acoustic
wheel-well liners to absorb road noise and quiet the cabin. Combined, these design improvements place the
all-new Dodge Charger’s interior sound quality among the best in the E-segment.
As the Dodge brand’s flagship, the chassis of the all-new 2011 Charger is designed, engineered and
fine-tuned to deliver a level of quality, capability and refinement that rivals the very best European, Asian and
North American E-segment sedans. With its new second-generation E-segment rear-wheel drive (RWD)
architecture, Dodge Charger features world-class suspension-tunings with re-designed geometry making for a
nimble, balanced chassis that will build the Charger’s legend as one of the best driving sedans in the world.
Engineered to perform against the best E-segment sport sedans, the all-new 2011 Dodge Charger SE and
Charger Rallye feature the new 3.6-liter Pentastar engine for world-class levels of power, refinement,
technology and fuel efficiency. For maximum thrills, efficiency and best-in-class power, the new Dodge
Charger R/T lineup features the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI™ V-8 engine with four-cylinder mode FuelSaver
Technology.
The all-new 2011 Dodge Charger R/T with all-wheel-drive (AWD) features a re-thought stance and 19-inch
wheels to make it much more appealing than ever before. The AWD preserves the Charger's character and
deepens its performance envelope in the most treacherous conditions. The Charger AWD features a
segment-exclusive active transfer case and front-axle disconnect system to improve fuel economy by up to 5
percent. No other major automotive manufacturer offers the combination of these two independent
technologies. Dodge Charger’s innovative AWD system seamlessly transitions between RWD and AWD with no
driver intervention. When all-wheel drive is not required, the system automatically disconnects the front axle
to maximize fuel economy while still providing the outstanding performance and handling inherent in
rear-wheel drive vehicles.
The all-new 2011 Dodge Charger features more than 65 safety and security features, including standard
Keyless Enter-N-Go and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with segment-exclusive Ready-alert Braking and
Rainy Day Brake Support safety features to improve overall vehicle handling and performance both on and off
the track. Safety and security features available for the first time on the Dodge Charger include
adaptive-cruise control (ACC) with forward-collision warning (FCW), blind-spot monitoring (BSM) with rear
cross path (RCP) detection and ParkView™ rear back-up camera with grid lines, all designed to provide the
driver with added confidence while behind the wheel.
Built at the Brampton Assembly Plant in Brampton, Ont. (Canada), the 2011 Dodge Charger arrives in
showrooms in the fourth quarter of 2010.
