2017 Dodge Challenger GT AWD Review
An American muscle auto without burnouts? What's next, a Fourth of July without firecrackers? Grills without lager? Football without dreary mind injury? That is precisely what Dodge is proposing with its all-wheel-drive Challenger GT. It ransacks any expectation of a back tire fire, exchanging outdated adolescent diversion for present day all-climate footing. It's a fragment first—and a conceivably insightful move to save sinking muscle-auto deals with all-season utility.

To transform a horse into a mountain goat, the Challenger gets the driveline equipment found in its kin, the Charger SXT AWD. The expansion of a determined front pivot and going with componentry builds the general mass by 157 pounds, conveying the aggregate to an incredible 4103. In any event the adjusted Charger police-cruiser suspension makes a vital showing with regards to of dealing with the extra weight. The guiding is responsive, and the side-to-side sports are all around mannered even as the all-season tires wail through zeniths. Controlling body move accompanies bargain, be that as it may, as the general ride is firm and occupied over undulating surfaces. All things considered, the tall, 55-arrangement tires reduce brutal effects in respect to the 40-and 45-arrangement elastic on higher-spec Challengers.
Calling this Challenger the primary all-wheel-drive muscle auto might be somewhat of an extend, however, since it's not too solid. Controlled by FCA's well-known 305-hp Pentastar V-6, the steel horse endures the quarter-mile in 14.8 seconds. In spite of the fact that dispatch control is included in the Uconnect infotainment Performance Pages, it's a stratagem. A 3500-rpm dispatch can be chosen, yet the torque converter limits motor speed to 2500 rpm while stationary, making an uneventful dash from zero to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds. In spite of its recently discovered footing, the speeding up times are very by 0.1 second to 60 and through the quarter-mile when contrasted and raise wheel-drive V-6 models, which implies the Challenger GT is the slowest of the present era of Big Three horse autos, notwithstanding lingering behind the turbocharged four-chamber adaptations of the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro.
Torque is steered exclusively through an eight-speed programmed transmission; a manual is not accessible. The all-wheel-drive framework, equipped for decoupling the front pivot to lessen parasitic misfortune and increment effectiveness, favors raise drive more often than not. At the point when the temperature dunks into winter-like readings, or when the PC identifies wheelslip, a grasp consistently draws in the propshaft, sending up to 38 percent of the accessible torque to the front pivot. The enactment of game or manual moving mode will likewise bolt the framework into all-wheel drive. Here in Michigan, where winters once in a while last into spring, we affirmed what the framework publicizes: all-climate execution. The front tires are anxious to give extra nibble in frigid conditions, and, in the event that one cravings, very much controlled slides can be performed.

Outside, the Challenger's massive extents and retro looks stay unaltered. The GT's standard 19-inch wheels house front rotors that are one inch bigger than those on SXT trims, albeit any advantage is lost to the all-season elastic. Our GT required 176 feet, 14 more than the last Challenger SXT we tried, to prevent from 70 mph.
Beginning at $34,490, the GT offers a higher level of four-season ability than its Ford and Chevy contenders. Yet, offering the spirit of the American muscle auto to increase chilly climate common sense feels similar to exchanging eminence for solace. We'd stay with a back drive V-8 and swap to winter tires when the ice settles.
