The 2017 Dodge Charger is a modern-day muscle car, a powerhouse with eight trim levels to choose from and one of the most powerful engines anywhere in the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat. But power and performance isn’t all the Charger has going for it: the sedan also comes with plenty of high-tech features inside and out that do much more than an old 60s muscle car ever could.
The Infotainment System
The 2017 Charger has an available 8.4-inch touch screen that runs the most up-to-date version of Uconnect. This means it works with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so you can use a select set of apps on your phone through your car’s interface and replace the standard voice recognition system with Siri. This system works with HD Radio, and you also get a complimentary year of SiriusXM Radio. The models that come with a navigation system also get five years of SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link.
Digital Cluster Display
Standard on every 2017 Charger is a seven-inch color driver information digital cluster display. This display sits between the car’s speedometer and tachometer and offers customization options so you can see the information you want to know or flip through several screens to get a better idea of how your Charger is doing. At the same time, the bold red and black color scheme perfectly matches the attitude and colors of the modern Dodge brand.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop
This advanced system uses a camera and laser range-finder to detect vehicles in front of you and keep up a certain follow distance you set when you activate cruise control. This means the cruise control will automatically slow down when traffic slows down and speed up to your set speed when the road ahead is clear. Since the version on the Charger has a Stop mode, the adaptive cruise control can slow down all the way to a complete stop if traffic gets congested enough, although you’ll have to touch the gas pedal when traffic starts moving again.
Keyless Enter ‘n Go
Keyless systems are becoming more and more common thanks to how convenient they are. The Keyless Enter ‘n Go system lets you keep your key fob in your pocket or purse, because as soon as you pull on door handle the Charger will detect that the key fob is near and unlock the door just in time for you to open it. This system also includes the Charger’s push-button starter, because all you need to do to turn over the engine is press the brake pedal and push the start button, without inserting a key in the ignition.
The 2017 Dodge Charger combines some of the most powerful engines ever dropped into a Dodge chassis with all the modern technology features you’d expect from a vehicle produced in the current year. With high-tech options that cover convenience, information, entertainment, and even a little self-driving technology, there’s no doubt that the 2017 Charger is the muscle car of the future.
