Dodge

For the record, I am not a fan of sporty SUVs.

Dodge is reentering the compact SUV market with the all-new Hornet. Using a historic nameplate from its past, the Hornet is a sportier SUV that trades in a bit practicality for personality. It can come with a choice of drivetrains, making either 268 hp or 288 hp. 

According to new reports, Dodge is accelerating its timeline for the launch of the new Charger SIXPACK equipped with the company's Hurricane internal combustion engine.

Stellantis is helping advance solid-state battery technology, with plans to incorporate the technology into a demonstration fleet of Dodge Charger Daytonas by 2026.

Stellantis has issued a recall for 21,069 vehicles, specifically affecting the 2024 Dodge Hornet and 2024-2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale.

Dodge is offering savings of $10 per horsepower on the 2025 Durango Hellcat.

Dodge has a new Durango SRT Hellcat special edition: The Hammerhead. It’ll join the existing 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet and Dodge Durango R/T 20th Anniversary models as the brand sees out the last of its HEMI V8s. Like the previous two, the formula here is much the same. There will be a limited production run with special aesthetic changes and badging, as well as some upgraded standard equipment.

Dodge is teasing what could be the future of police vehicles with a concept that previews the next Charger Pursuit cop car.

Dodge has finally delivered on its promise with the arrival of the Hurricrate inline-six crate engines.

Dodge isn't ready to say goodbye to the Hellcat just yet.

Stellantis is dropping a bombshell on Dodge and Ram owners: more than 211,000 SUVs and pickup trucks are being recalled.

Yes, There Will Also Be a 5-Door and Gas Versions As Well

We'll see three separate teasers between now and then, too.

Speaking to Road & Track, a source at Dodge confirmed that the last Challenger and Chargers were made on December 22, 2023. After almost 20 years in production, the V8-powered Challenger and Charger are at their end. R&T states the final Charger was a Destroyer Gray Scat Pack Widebody. With a 485 horsepower V8, the sedan broke necks because of its soundtrack and its brawny looks.

Farewell to a Legend

Anna Kendrick is probably not the first celebrity you associate with the Dodge Challenger.

The hills just outside of Asheville, North Carolina are abuzz with word of the first new Dodge in a decade.

The 60-foot time is just 1.2 seconds. From a standstill, 60 mph is reached in a mere 1.66 seconds. The quarter miles flashes by in 8.91 seconds at 151.17 mph.

In a world obsessed with weight savings, efficiency, and electrification, there are always rebels.

Dodge is getting back into the small SUV game with this, the 2023 Hornet.

“Today, it’s 1978 for big V8s” says Tim Kuniskis, CEO of the Dodge brand.

Compact Utility Vehicles (CUVs) are a big and growing business. And according to Dodge Brand CEO Tim Kuniskis, the segment is showing explosive growth.

Dodge brand CEO Tim Kuniskis recently outlined plans for the future of the brand’s Brampton-built muscle cars, which will cease production at the end of 2023 as the automaker shifts towards electrification.

There’s something so simple and appealing about a V8 sedan.

New engine will offer V8 levels of power with fewer emissions, plus hybrid setups.

While it may seem that automakers are focusing more on fuel efficiency than performance these days, cars are actually getting quicker.

Let’s say you’ve got an insatiable appetite for speed but you also have other responsibilities like three kids, a golden retriever, volunteer work on weekends and other domestic duties.

One of the most wonderful sensations come when you command a whole handful of power just with the flexing of your right foot. Horsepower is an intoxicating element when it comes to driving, but that doesn’t mean that it’s saved for the most expensive vehicles out there.

From ancient times until the 20th century, horses were the fastest form of personal transportation on earth. If you had to get somewhere in a hurry, chances were you’d be riding one of these beasts.

Our earth’s axis of rotation is tilted.

Unfortunately for the automotive world, there are legal limitations on what can be driven on public roads.

Lawmakers in Washington, D.C., and California are armed with a legislative battleaxe and they’re bringing it to bear against the automotive industry. Fuel economy regulations are hitting like a war hammer, disrupting the market and crushing carmakers. In a mad dash to meet upcoming CAFE standards, manufacturers are dramatically shifting their product offerings. Downsized vehicles, hybrid drivetrains and EVs are some of the tools in their defensive arsenals.

By the year 2000, American sports cars had been dragged through the mud enough.

The 1980s was a transitional decade for the American sports car.

Your Ram pickup truck is a truly incredible, practical, well-built doing machine – and with the right Ram Truck accessories, it can be made even better.

Another strong year for domestic brands, netting four of the top 10 (11) spots.

Gran Turismo. It’s more than a video game: clocking “GT” on the back of a car brings with it certain expectations. 

Having a big family means you need a vehicle with cavernous passenger space. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a huge budget.

Dodge has announced that almost the entire run of the 710-horsepower, three-row SUV is already spoken for.

Blue Monday is said to be the most depressing day of the year, when the most people are feeling down in the dumps. 

As a muscle car, it stands in the class of one. 

There’s something absurd about hucking three tons of three-row SUV at an apex curb.

The ride back was to be a laborious and deflating one. And had I not been in the new 2020  Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn, I think I would have had less time to ponder over the dismal 10 days we had in the bush.

There’s one in every crowd.

It’s going to be even hard to miss a Dodge Charger Hellcat in 2020 since it now features a standard widebody to go along with its 707-horsepower. For those who don’t want to spring for a Hellcat model, the R/T Scat Pack will also be offered with a wide body.
