The New Dodge Charger Puts Five Decades of American Muscle-Car Prowess on Display for Your Opelousas, LA Pleasure Cruise
You're an enthusiast of the high-octane sports car experience. Yet, you're also in search of the latest comfortable, family-friendly mid-size sedan with a whole lot of full-size presence. What's more, says your inner Formula 1 driver, 50 years and counting of tried-and-true tradition from track to highway couldn't hurt. That you can find such in the latest Dodge Charger, however, is an understatement. As new muscle cars go here in the Opelousas area, it's a prominent standout. Discover yours for yourself right here at Sterling Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram!
Step into the cockpit, and you'll find accommodations abound. For one, cloth, sport cloth, ballistic cloth, and luxurious leather seating options, available heated and ventilated and flanked by available dual-zone climate control. That's the height of comfort for cruising the 49 down through Carencro to the Lafayette strip and over to Breaux Bridge. On agreeable Louisiana days, an available power sunroof with one-touch open and close admits that touch of Mother Nature that makes the drive.
Of course, the driver's seat's also a command center, offering your choice of three available Uconnect® infotainment systems -- one with a 7-inch touchscreen, and two with 8.4-inch touchscreens and SiriusXM support, but all keeping control of myriad entertainment and vehicle functions within reach. You can even count on the convenience of voice command when you need it, along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support for extending your phone's functionality to the dash, and navigation's available for turn-by-turn ease when figuring out your route around Ville Platte. These aren't to mention three stellar audio system options to make that road-mix an anthem: a six-speaker premium setup, a 552-watt, ten-speaker variant, and a symphonic 19-speaker GreenEdge Harman Kardon system.
But it's under the hood where the real performance magic happens, with five available hard-charging engines atop a choice of peel-out rear-wheel or terrain-commanding all-wheel drivetrains. For one, a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 putting out 292 horsepower in models like Charger SXT. Next, a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 in the new Charger GT and GT Plus with a bump to 300 horsepower. Step up to the new Charger R/T or Daytona, and you can take advantage of a workhorse 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 pulling ahead at 370 horsepower. But it's with Charger R/T Scat Pack, Daytona 392, and SRT® 392 that prospects to metaphorically shred a tire get interesting, owing to a 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 shelling up to 485. Ascend to the new Charger SRT® Hellcat, and you've reached the top of the line, and one of the most powerful sedans in the world, sporting a monstrous supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® V8 capable of 707 horsepower.
Now pair one of these with a TorqueFlite® eight-speed automatic transmission. Ditto for one of several suspensions available, ranging from normal-duty and four-wheel independent touring to those tuned for sport, geared for high-performance and competition, and featuring adaptive damping. Bring performance four-wheel anti-lock brakes into the mix, with a Brembo® fixed-caliper, four-piston system available in select trims, along with an anticipatory Ready Alert Braking feature and standard rain brake support. Likewise for numerous drive-assist options, from adaptive cruise control with a stop feature and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection to full-speed forward collision warning with active braking and LaneSense® lane-departure warning with lane keep assist.
The result is plain to see: the new Dodge Charger is a ride like no other. Revving your engine to check one out up close and personal? Stop by and visit us here at 5504 I-49 North Service Road, and we'll take you for a spin!
