Performance & Capability
Under the sculpted hood of this Charger lies the heart of its versatility: the Pentastar 3.6L V-6 DOHC engine. Delivering a robust 300HP, this powerplant is engineered for the long stretches of highway between Mattoon, IL and the surrounding communities. Paired with a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission, the gear changes are fluid and responsive, ensuring you always have the right amount of power whether you are merging onto the interstate or cruising through city traffic. The engine features an Aluminum engine block and variable valve control, optimizing efficiency without dampening the spirit of the drive.
What truly sets this GT apart in the Illinois landscape is the Automatic full-time AWD system. This drivetrain is a game-changer for residents of Decatur, IL, where winter weather can turn a standard commute into a challenge. The system intelligently manages power, providing the traction of all-wheel drive when you need it and maintaining the classic feel of a performance sedan when you don't. The mechanical foundation is further bolstered by a Short And Long Arm Front Suspension and a Multi-Link Rear Suspension, both featuring coil springs and a Standard ride suspension tuning. This setup ensures that the ride remains composed and comfortable, even when the pavement gets rough. To keep things running at peak performance during summer heatwaves, the vehicle is equipped with an Engine oil cooler and a Transmission fluid temperature gauge, giving you peace of mind during extended trips.
Technology & Connectivity
In today's fast-paced world, staying connected is a necessity, not a luxury. This Charger serves as a mobile command center, featuring the Navigation and Travel Group to ensure you never lose your way during a cross-county trip. The centerpiece of the cockpit is the 8.4 inch primary display, a high-resolution Primary monitor touchscreen that acts as the hub for all your media. With Smart device integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, your favorite apps, podcasts, and contacts are mirrored directly onto the screen, allowing for a familiar and intuitive interface.
Communication is effortless thanks to Handsfree Uconnect w/Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to take professional calls or dictate messages without taking your hands off the wheel. The Voice activated audio controls and Steering wheel mounted audio controls further enhance this hands-free experience. For your passengers, the cabin is equipped with 5 USB ports, ensuring everyones devices stay charged during the drive. Beyond just connectivity, the tech suite includes SiriusXM Travel Link for real-time weather updates and SiriusXM Traffic Plus, which are invaluable tools when you're trying to navigate around congestion during peak hours.

Comfort & Interior
The interior of this Charger is a sanctuary of refined comfort, featuring a sophisticated Black color scheme and Leather Trim Seats. Designed for the driver who spends significant time behind the wheel, the Sport front bucket seats provide excellent support. Both the driver and front passenger can find their ideal position with Power Driver/passenger 4-Way Lumbar Adjust, and the Heated Front Seats are a welcome relief on those frigid Illinois mornings. For the warmer months, the Ventilated Front Seats keep you cool and composed, ensuring you arrive at your destination looking as sharp as when you left.
The attention to detail extends to every corner of the cabin, from the Aluminum Console Insert to the Metal-Look Interior Accents. The Heated steering wheel and Heated rear seats ensure that every occupant enjoys a premium experience, regardless of the temperature outside. Convenience is built into the design with Keyless Enter-N-Go, featuring push-button start and a Keyfob remote start system that allows you to precondition the cabin before you even step outside. The Dual-zone front climate control allows for personalized comfort settings, while the Power telescopic and tilting steering wheel with memory settings ensures the driving position is always tailored to you.

Safety is paramount in a vehicle designed for family and professional use. This 2018 Dodge Charger GT AWD is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features to protect you on every journey. The ParkView Back-Up Camera provides a clear view of whats behind you, while the ParkSense Rear Parking Sensors alert you to obstacles you might not see, making parking in tight urban spots much simpler. For highway driving, the Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Path Detection systems act as an extra set of eyes, warning you of vehicles in your blind spots or approaching from the side when reversing.
The structural integrity of the vehicle is supported by Side Impact Beams and a total of 7 airbags, including a Driver knee airbag and Curtain 1st And 2nd Row Airbags. Braking performance is handled by 4-wheel disc brakes with a sophisticated 4-wheel antilock (ABS) system and Brake assist, providing confident stopping power in various road conditions.

Exterior & Design

The Destroyer Gray Clearcoat paint provides a stealthy, high-end look that is perfectly accented by the Black grille and Body-colored bumpers. A Rear lip spoiler adds a touch of athletic flair to the trunk lid, while the 19 x 7.5-inch painted aluminum wheels provide a planted and aggressive stance. This isn't just about aesthetics; the design is functional, featuring Heated front windshield jets to clear ice quickly and Heated door mirrors to maintain visibility during inclement weather.
Lighting is a standout feature, with Bi-Xenon high-intensity discharge headlights and LED front fog lights cutting through the darkness of rural roads. The First-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof allows you to bring a bit of the outside in during beautiful spring days, while the Light Tinted Glass provides privacy and reduces glare.
