What makes a vehicle fuel efficient? it depends on a variety of factors: engine, transmission, steering, brakes, to name a few. If you could combine optimal mechanical elements in a vehicle for textbook fuel efficiency, the Dodge Challenger would be that vehicle. Here's what makes it so efficient.
Late-model Dodge Challengers boast a powerhouse engine lineup. Superior engine technology paired with a precision-tuned transmission always results in more power, responsiveness, and fuel efficiency. One of the most efficient of the Dodge Challenger's engine lineup is the 485-horsepower 392 HEMI V8 engine producing 475 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine's impressive construction gives it the power to tow tons while keeping emissions low. It has an estimated city/highway fuel economy of 19/30 mpg.
Clutch Makes a ComebackThe Dodge Challenger's available choices of transmission enhance its fuel efficiency. One such transmission is the TREMEC six-speed manual transmission. Its multi-gear architecture allows for smaller gear ratios, resulting in smoother gear changes with little to no lag. Plus, TREMEC comes in a manual clutch form, resurrecting the look, ride feel, and torquey, hands-on experience of classic race car driving on Alturas, CA streets.
