Dodge Challenger Safety Features and New Technology

It’s hailed as one of the great successes of U.S. auto manufacturing: An “American Icon,” as the company describes it. First introduced in 1969, the Dodge Challenger provides a perfect blend of strength, reliability, and style. 

Even with its sporty nature and high-powered horsepower, the Challenger has been engineered with a comprehensive package of safety measures and the latest in entertainment and other technology for a smooth, reliable ride.

The sales team at Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Fiat (CJDRF) in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has compiled this overview of the Challenger’s safety features and technology.

Safety comes first, even in flashy sports cars like the Dodge Challenger. Dodge engineers have built several advanced safety features into the vehicle to keep you and your family safe and sound on the road. Let’s highlight some that will give you the most peace of mind.

Blind-Spot Dangers

One of the hidden hazards of driving is people lingering in your car’s blind spot, just behind the right or left rear of your vehicle. It makes these hazards hard to see when changing lanes. Dodge Challenger counters these dangers with the Blind Spot Monitoring System with Rear Cross Path Detection. You’ll get a loud alert when another car slides into the blind spot, allowing you to confidently change lanes or reverse.

Let There Be Light

It’s always a particular challenge driving when the sun goes down. To drive safely, you need to be able to see objects around you. The Dodge Challenger offers help with available automatic high-beam headlamps. The system senses light from oncoming traffic and automatically switches between high and low beams to provide the right amount of light. 

Adaptive Cruise Control

Cruise control helps take some of the stress out of driving. The Dodge Challenger comes with an advanced feature known as adaptive cruise control, which helps to reduce the chance of accidents. Adaptive cruise control automatically adjusts your car’s speed to keep you separated by a certain distance from other cars on the road.

Collision Warnings

The Dodge Challenger includes a series of strategically placed sensors around the vehicle that help keep you on the straight and narrow. The full-speed forward-collision system sounds the alarm when you move too close to other vehicles or hazards in any direction. The lane departure warning alerts you when you’re starting to veer out of your specific lane.

New Technologies in the 2023 Dodge Challenger

Today’s new vehicles are technological marvels, both inside and out. As a new sports car, the Dodge Challenger has plenty of unique technology-driven features to make ownership fun, safe, and exciting. Here are a few of the highlights of the most recent model year:

Uconnect 5 Infotainment System

Uconnect is an award-winning connected-vehicle solution that converges many of the entertainment and information technologies available in the Dodge Challenger into a single unified platform. Built into all CJDRF vehicles, Uconnect allows drivers to access stereo, navigation, media player, apps, and other connected technologies using a unified interface.

Uconnect 5 includes a touch screen measuring 8.4 inches diagonally with a traditional AM/FM radio and Sirius/XM radio connectivity. You can control the system through voice command, allowing you to keep your hands and focus on the road for hands-free calling or texting. 

An auxiliary/USB connection for the phone or media player and a Bluetooth connection are built in. Your cellphone links to Uconnect through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Your backseat passengers will appreciate the system’s ability to sync content to rear-seat display screens to watch downloaded movies or television programs while you focus on the road.

For a subscription fee, the system provides a conduit for reaching Dodge Connect, a concierge service that offers theft and roadside assistance support. You can also use Uconnect to summon help.

Harman Kardon Sound System

Everyone will know when you’re nearby with your 2023 Dodge Challenge due to the vehicle’s built-in high-performance Harman Kardon sound system. If you’re a music fanatic, make sure to choose the 19-speaker Harman Kardan Premium Sound Group. It’ll blow the doors off with a 900-watt amplifier and two subwoofers.

Logic 7 surround sound will increase your listening pleasure while GreenEdge provides environmentally friendly output from the systems. Get ready for a truly immersive audio experience.

In-Vehicle 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot

One of the technological innovations in the 2023 Dodge Challenger involves always-on connectivity for you and your passengers. The Challenger comes with an in-vehicle 4G Wi-Fi hotspot to keep you connected to the Internet while you’re on the go. The system uses the vehicle antenna to allow you to connect up to 50 feet from the car. 

Buyers can test the service with a three-month trial after purchase. Connectivity allows your passengers to stay entertained and productive and lets you get caught up on email when you pull over for a rest. The system allows you to pair up to 10 phones to the system, more than enough to accommodate everyone in your party.

Wireless Charging Pad

One technological challenge that unites us is finding a quick and easy way to charge your mobile phone. The Challenger simplifies this by incorporating a wireless charging pad into its design. You can put your phone onto this pad and charge your battery without having to connect it traditionally with a USB or other cord.
