I just bought a 2016 V6 SXT plus. This car is is super luxurious inside. It has every option you can think of, and 305 hp is more than enough for racing around town. Even had it up to 140 mph and it was super smooth even at that speed. I never cease to get compliments on this car. But for sure if your considering this car make sure you get the SXT plus cause it is well worth it. We payed $27G for this car, and also bought a 2017 Honda accord the same week for $30G, and the Dodge blows the Honda away in value, looks and bells and whistles.
Great comprehensive review. I drove the 2018 Challenger SXT this week and loved it, although the SXT Plus in your video is spec'd way nicer. Would love to drive one like this with AWD.
self made boss I'm talking about the challenger in general. It looks better than their other models and the build quality seems to be better than other models from dodge and jeep. I'm an Audi guy because their design and build quality are the best in the industry. I would take an Audi over any Bentley or Lamborghini.
Miko BMW look good, but they break down a lot and the interior is kind of ugly. Mercedes is great quality, but both interior and exterior are ugly in my opinion. Audi is the sweet spot in between. Audi offers great build quality and Audis look really good too. The price is about the same as BMW and Mercedes if not a little cheaper. The only only brands that are better than Audi, but I can't afford yet are Land Rover, Porsche, and Lamborghini. I will just stick with my Audi A6 for a few more years until I can get a Lamborghini Huracan.
I just think they spec'd it right. All the features you get. The LED lighting, the V6 engine, 8 speed auto, U Connect system, the wheels. I'm sure these are easy to deal on too. I like V8s as much as the next guy but for me insurance, gas milage etc would be too much for me. The V6 would be plenty.
This is actually the same model and color combo I'm considering, although my target purchase date isn't until the end of next year. Just got the wife a new Subaru Outback last year so have to save up again.
SXT plus is pretty decent, you get leather seat, upgraded speaker and so on. The 3.6 is not bad motor, they should either make R/T a base model in challenger line or put a turbo in that V6.
Leased a loaded SXT Plus (leather, 20" rims, etc) for $185 a month, $400 down, 2 years. That 305hp V6 coupled with the 8spd AT is amazing. I came out of a 15 Mustang GT, 6 spd manual that had worse visibility, gas mileage and utility (back seat was worthless). I routinely achieve 25mpg in mixed city/h'way driving and from zero-to-speed-limit performance it's up there with the V8's.
Concepts If you're not gonna be street racing then I assure you, get the V6. I modded mine with Flows & cold air intake and it sounds awesome. The fuel economy works for me but to each his own.
Dont let the v8 fanboys over hypy you this thing moves with the 3.6L trust me I have a GT and I get 6.0 0-60 no amazing but for a v6 Naturally aspirated thats great
Paddle shifters and power tilt steering wheel are in the "super sport track " package which is worth it! Enterior is NOT just ok, it is a far more superior interior than most in this price range.
My 2016 (Auto) Chally SXT is a 3,800-lb. workhorse. With my ass in the seat, that pushes it to over 4,000 & the V-6 is *no* slouch. Some of these commenters have never taken one of these for a spin on the open hwy. From 0-60, it will push one back in their seat, (even while not being the V-8). Then, with a slight tap on the fuel, 40-60 is a CAKE WALK for quick passing & then on to 80 & 100 is effortless. From Denver into the Rocky Moutains, fully loaded with luggage, a cooler, etc. - - this bad boy attacked the hills AND the hair-pin turns. It was even hungry at over 10,000-ft.! So, for those who think that this "little" V-6 is underpowering "such a heavy vehicle", they need to STFU until they've strapped their own ass in one & take it for a DRIVE. Also, unless they're just trying to hate on the Challenger, they will be equally as surprised to see that this beast handles great & can corner like a son of a bitch as well! In essence, their opinions don't mean squat if they haven't even driven one. I picked this V-6 over the 2 V-8's I had test driven - - as well as over the new Camaros for multiple reasons & I definitely made the right choice.
Sounded like the reviewer kept bashing this car before saying (at the end), "it's a good choice for a muscle car". But it also sounds as if he's only basing this on models with a V-8. Did you even run this V-6 through the motions or did you just take it for a drive around the block? How about the highway, did you even try to really open her up? Have you sat in one of the newer Camaros? I.M.H.O., there's no comparison. Sorry pal, your review was 1/2 assed at best & at times, contradictory.
$30k does not seem that bad at all for this car. And 295 horses should be plenty, in fact anything bigger could shred itself over a long enough timeline I would think. Does it have blind spot detection? That would be nice considering how hard it appears to be to see out of. LOVE the retro speedo and tach!
I don't find it hard to see out of at all. Some people complain about there being a blindspot where C pillar is but it doesn't bother me whatsoever. I grew up driving late 70's and early 1980's coupes with opera windows and big blindspots, so this car's supposed blindspot is nothing in comparison
The electric tilt and telescoping steering comes with the plus package, which is what that car has, I'm surprised you didn't know that if you're doing a review on the car. Also you can raise the height of the seat if you're having trouble seeing out of the windshield. Also the windows are not one touch up, only down.
' Actually ' , ' not a bad ' review - but if the two former phrases were removed, there might have been time to see some sort of test drive {?} The former phrases just got a little redundant, after a few times. . Otherwise, ' not a bad review ' - ha..
Not bad challenger, it’s an okay price but you should be able to find it at better deals, I got a 2016 Camaro 2SS for 29 grand, had to go out of state tho but can’t go wrong with challengers! Prob the most muscle looking car out there
Can't tell if you're just a nihilist or biased against the Challenger. "It's OK, this isn't TOO bad, but I can't get everything I want..." Specially when you talk about the interior dude
I believe all but the base sxt has a backup camera, so the sxt plus does. There is probably a package you can get to add it to the base sxt. The blind spot detection is part of the driver convenience package, an option on the sxt plus but not sure about the base sxt; I would think it would be.
Incorrect information sir who is doing the interview of the vehicle it's actually 305 hp & 268 Ibs of torque btw is around maybe 270 or 280 hp. N transmission yeah it's correct cause the new year I know this cause I own a Dodge Challenger n I work for dodge in my home town as a porter.
Mf Camren - - right now, I'm averaging 23-25 M.P.G. with a combo of stop-&-go and HWY driving. With a 1/2-hr to 45-min drive to work I still only fill up once a week. My economy only slightly drops when I use the Sport Mode in tandem with the A./C. If you use only one or the other, you won't even notice the drop in M.P.G.
have a DL? you mean DD? i have two. as for the V6 in this 300+ HP from a V6 sounds great on paper but in practice is simply not enough for this over weight car.

How's your challenger running now? Thinking about getting the 2017 or 2018 SXT plus next year.
@@tikenna my charger sxt has been running for a long time so. Ushould be ok
Hard to see out of the windshield?? Are you kidding me?? Are you 3 feet tall??
Hoping to get the Challenger 2017 at the end of this month!
Wish me luck.
Christian P well?
Im hoping to get an sxt
Hopefully you got one, I love mine cant stop making videos about it
Did u get it?
Great comprehensive review. I drove the 2018 Challenger SXT this week and loved it, although the SXT Plus in your video is spec'd way nicer. Would love to drive one like this with AWD.
This is the only Dodge model I would buy from their lineup
iceplanetRC what about the hellcat
self made boss I'm talking about the challenger in general. It looks better than their other models and the build quality seems to be better than other models from dodge and jeep. I'm an Audi guy because their design and build quality are the best in the industry. I would take an Audi over any Bentley or Lamborghini.
Same.
iceplanetRC lol you do know ppl buy more Benz follow by BMW then Audi , Audi ain't really all that , but I fucks with A8 though
Miko BMW look good, but they break down a lot and the interior is kind of ugly. Mercedes is great quality, but both interior and exterior are ugly in my opinion. Audi is the sweet spot in between. Audi offers great build quality and Audis look really good too. The price is about the same as BMW and Mercedes if not a little cheaper.

I hope that dodge never changes the look of the challenger
veLOcity_17 they absolutely will eventually. No way they’re going to be able keep this look for the rest of the Challengers life
The SXT and SXT Plus seem like a good value if you ask me.
TJC450 why is that
I just think they spec'd it right. All the features you get. The LED lighting, the V6 engine, 8 speed auto, U Connect system, the wheels. I'm sure these are easy to deal on too. I like V8s as much as the next guy but for me insurance, gas milage etc would be too much for me. The V6 would be plenty.
Whats the cost?
The STX is great value. For a bit more, you can get a lot of awesome features.
Hated Out Yo around 29k is decent for a SXT, with the basic screen
Got one blacktop edition 2012, i totally love it, all black everywhere. Blacktop is so far the best edition they ever made.
Keep up the great work man
This is actually the same model and color combo I'm considering, although my target purchase date isn't until the end of next year. Just got the wife a new Subaru Outback last year so have to save up again.
you'll get there
I just bought a 2019 Dodge Challenger sxt the exact same color it’s so luxurious!!!
You are very lucky man🥺
SXT plus is pretty decent, you get leather seat, upgraded speaker and so on. The 3.6 is not bad motor, they should either make R/T a base model in challenger line or put a turbo in that V6.
My friend got a new SXT plus last year. She said the dealer described it as getting a base model with luxury package on it
Leased a loaded SXT Plus (leather, 20" rims, etc) for $185 a month, $400 down, 2 years. That 305hp V6 coupled with the 8spd AT is amazing. I came out of a 15 Mustang GT, 6 spd manual that had worse visibility, gas mileage and utility (back seat was worthless). I routinely achieve 25mpg in mixed city/h'way driving and from zero-to-speed-limit performance it's up there with the V8's.
is that what the dealership offer on these cars? that sounds too good to be true!
MotownRockinroller that sounds awesome. I found one (lease) for $375. Take over payments. Wow you got yours way cheaper!!
damn that was an awesome deal lol, what dealership was this ?
Master Try probably about 1-2k down with about 200-400 a month
They couldn't have given him a good deal on his trade if he got that good a deal on the new car end......cant have your cake and eat it too!!
Really like this color
Great review
I like how he says an ok amount of power. Back in the day my ta had a 6.6 big block with 200hp.
The color of this car with the black rims/accents look awesome. V6 is good value but I would want to pack in more HP.
Concepts If you're not gonna be street racing then I assure you, get the V6. I modded mine with Flows & cold air intake and it sounds awesome. The fuel economy works for me but to each his own.
Dont let the v8 fanboys over hypy you this thing moves with the 3.6L trust me I have a GT and I get 6.0 0-60 no amazing but for a v6 Naturally aspirated thats great
The judgement on the interior blew my mind. 🤯 Looks greats to me but 🤷♂️
Jason Mccullar right? I was like wtf is he into 😂
I love this car fr I want one so badly ❤
F8 green my favorite color... Blacktop... Edition... 💪 2021...
Paddle shifters and power tilt steering wheel are in the "super sport track " package which is worth it! Enterior is NOT just ok, it is a far more superior interior than most in this price range.
Can you tell me what size rims and tires you have on the SXT plus?!!! sweet ride BTW!

Just bought my 2017 SXT Today. I love this car, I wanna change the exhaust and tint the windows, doesnt need anything else. I have subs in it too
just one small correction 305 horses 269 pound for the torque
I was about to ask if the power dropped for this year, didn't make sense. Thanks!
kostas dramoudanis You are a fucking moron
best car I ever Had. 2015 SXT
$30k does not seem that bad at all for this car. And 295 horses should be plenty, in fact anything bigger could shred itself over a long enough timeline I would think. Does it have blind spot detection? That would be nice considering how hard it appears to be to see out of. LOVE the retro speedo and tach!
Yes blind spot detection is an option.
295 sounds good, but its at 6400 rpm which is too high. Needs to be at a lower rpm to be useful in a car this size.
boltar2003 it has 305 hp he messed up
I don't find it hard to see out of at all. Some people complain about there being a blindspot where C pillar is but it doesn't bother me whatsoever. I grew up driving late 70's and early 1980's coupes with opera windows and big blindspots, so this car's supposed blindspot is nothing in comparison
Want this beauty of a car but with a clutch. Hope Dodge makes a v6 with a regular manual trans.
badassest car ever
Это просто мечта ! Тачка огонь !
The electric tilt and telescoping steering comes with the plus package, which is what that car has, I'm surprised you didn't know that if you're doing a review on the car.

Wish the daytime LEDs were brighter
I got the exact car, I love it
Love my 2015
mickey shea ily cutie
Just bought a Chally just like it with 17k mi, paid $22k, saved lots of money, love it....why buy new!
' Actually ' , ' not a bad ' review - but if the two former phrases were removed, there might have been time to see some sort of test drive {?}

Not bad challenger, it’s an okay price but you should be able to find it at better deals, I got a 2016 Camaro 2SS for 29 grand, had to go out of state tho but can’t go wrong with challengers! Prob the most muscle looking car out there
I only have one question tho , does v6 comes with manual shift??
whats the difference between the plus and the regulat sxt, appart from that tail on the back hood.
kelem Dz leather seating i believe
305hp*
Nice intro song [x_x] marshmello
why change a classic design.
Hello sir. How many miles can this 3.6 engine run maximum . This 3.6 engine have strong problem or not ?
Tight ending catch(s) & Spike(s) + 4?
Can't tell if you're just a nihilist or biased against the Challenger. "It's OK, this isn't TOO bad, but I can't get everything I want..." Specially when you talk about the interior dude
do all challenger models come this back up cameras and blind spot assistance
I believe all but the base sxt has a backup camera, so the sxt plus does. There is probably a package you can get to add it to the base sxt. The blind spot detection is part of the driver convenience package, an option on the sxt plus but not sure about the base sxt; I would think it would be.
305hp not 292 hp lol
I like the 2016 SXT PLUS wheels better.
great video but you have your stats wrong my friend. it's 305hp and 268flbs of torque. :)
Purchasing next year
He & 85 & Gr(andma GOBM?) ad.?
Great review but i must say you contradicted yourself quite a few times lol
Right, West? Try what? Tyrese? Tyra Lynn? Think?
Incorrect information sir who is doing the interview of the vehicle it's actually 305 hp & 268 Ibs of torque btw is around maybe 270 or 280 hp. N transmission yeah it's correct cause the new year I know this cause I own a Dodge Challenger n I work for dodge in my home town as a porter.
Version #2?
Whats the best pressure for tires is it 35 psi or 40 psi ?
undeadlover96 38 psi
how much was this
One day...
MEPI & NSBE?
Will this ever be available in uk
ankur29 you can import one
It's 305 hp
ford mustang has the worst design among the three
So far I can tell this doesn't have OnStar or backup sencers.
GrimReaper4383 it does. I have a 2016 SXT plus and you hear the sensors when you get near anything when backing up
Onstar is only for GM
nicer retro muscle car 🇩🇴
No Redesign in nearly a decade?? The modern retro car has only been out for 9 years.
S B a decade is 10 years. 9 years is nearly a decade. Math is fun.
It looks like he is doing promotion for mustang and camaro
Is this AWD??
BOBBY'S WORLD!!!! No, you'll find the awd one in the GT trim. Not with the SXT
How much would you pay for gas?
Mf Camren - - right now, I'm averaging 23-25 M.P.G. with a combo of stop-&-go and HWY driving. With a 1/2-hr to 45-min drive to work I still only fill up once a week.

305 HP
"Kinda" reliable to be honest? lol
No aux cord port?
HecticTrey in center console
HecticTrey - - sure, look at 7:34. 😉
"actually kind of reliable"?
Acuravigor47 hahahahah. Yeah I was like....did you expect it NOT to be???
Gift, Present?
Pike pizza, cookie?
I cant stand that steering wheel design i dont know why but i cant stand it something about it just doesnt fit the design of the car
305 hp
Pike fruity drinks? Bra?
who buys a challenger V6?
It’s more like who buys the challenger v8, look around buddy they are all v6 lmao
Plenty of people my guy. Hell, you can’t even add a supercharger and you’ll be making 460 wheel horsepower
People who don;t need the v8
Fourth
XB Mario Fifth
Porsche = True ,, B.M.W : FALSEEEEEE .BMW is a special name which belong to Deustchland and you must pronounce it like BMV
that V6 is not enough for this thing. it's so heavy and so massive.
justin bouche so what? You don't even have DL. How about you finish eating your dog shit first.
superwangwei3630 Calm down. V6 is powerful, but the V8 is the better engine choice for this vehicle. lol. No need to get offended.
have a DL? you mean DD? i have two. as for the V6 in this 300+ HP from a V6 sounds great on paper but in practice is simply not enough for this over weight car.
DL= drivers license dumbshit.
As they said in Mad Max movies, it needs to be a V-8 engine.
Do your homework next time
