Dodge Challenger earns highest safety rating

The  2017 Dodge Challeng-er has earned the highest safety rating: a five-star overall from the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA. According to Mike Dahl, Head of Vehicle Safety and Regulatory Compliance, FCA, North America, “this proves the 2017 Dodge Challenger is much more than a great-looking car. It reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional occupant safety in every vehicle segment.” Nearly 60 per cent of the sporty Challenger’s body structure consists of high-strength steel. This engineering strategy, combined with the careful integration of side-guard door beams, was critical to the car’s performance in NHTSA’s side-impact testing.

The agency simulated collisions with a pole and with another vehicle at closing speeds of 32 miles per hour and 62 miles per hour, respectively. Supplementary restraint systems also contributed to the car’s performance. Driver and front-passenger side air bags are standard equipment on all Challenger trim levels, as are front and rear side curtain air bags. The Dodge Challenger is notably one of the fastest and most powerful sedans in the world. It comes with a supercharged 6.4 litre Natural Aspired Hemi Engine with 485 horsepower and an outstanding quarter-mile time in the 10 second range all harnessed by TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission. Since the modern Dodge Challenger was launched in 2008, NHTSA has included it in its annual model-year ratings seven times.
