Dodge has changed many people's lives for the better by providing reliable, stylish vehicles. However, the development of the newly redesigned 2015 Dodge Challenger has put it in a category all by itself; atop the ratings from the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Safe driving on today's roadways can be daunting. Therefore, purchasing a stylish vehicle which exceeds security and safety expectations is one way to ensure that even under harsh driving conditions the vehicle handles and performs well.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger does just that and more. Dodge owners are familiar with comfort, styling and surefire performance, they feel confident about driving their powerful and sporty cars. Well now, there are even more reasons for driver confidence, the (NHTSA) has given the 2015 Dodge Challenger the highest possible safety rating, five out of five stars.

A five star overall safety rating is more than a vote of confidence. It means that consumers can look forward to owning a car that performs to the highest standards in highway and auto safety. In order to obtain its 5-star rating, the Dodge Challenger was subjected to "extreme" crash testing involving conditions which stimulated full impact, head-on frontal and side collisions.

The Dodge Challenger performed well in every safety category, due to the fact that it comes with 70 advanced technological features. As the only vehicle in its class with advanced safety features, the "all-new" 2015 Dodge Challenger also comes standard with:

  • Blind spot monitoring
  • Rear cross path detection
  • Re-designed forward collision warning (FCW) with visual and audible sounds
  • Performance electronic shifter
  • Keyless push-button start with "Enter 'n Go" controls
  • Rear view camera
  • Adaptive cruise control (optional)
  • Segment-first and segment-exclusive TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission
  • Rain sensitive wipers
  • Automatic high beam headlights
  • 7" thin film transistor (TFT) reconfigurable gauge cluster

According to the Senior Vice President for Vehicle Safety and Regulatory Compliance, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), North America, Scott Kunselman, "The new Dodge Challenger coupe further demonstrates our commitment to broaden the proliferation of advanced safety technologies, such as driver-assist features."

The addition of the new safety features with advanced technologies makes the Dodge Challenger one of the best buys for 2015. This builds on the previous end of the year honors of 2014, when it was given the "Retained Value Award" by Edmunds.com, which came on the heels of winning the J.D. Powers "APEAL" Award for providing an excellent experience in "overall ownership enjoyment," three years in a row. Not bad for a year after which set the Dodge Challenger set a record as an all-times sales leader in 2013. In November, the Challenger saw an increase of 52 percent, as compared to the same time in 2013.

More than any other year before, the 2015 Dodge Challenger offers optimized safety features and it is designed to benefit the lives of owners by providing comfort, security, sporty styling and remarkable performance. Given its affordable price tag and premium safety features, with its starting manufacturer's suggested retail price of $26,995 (excluding applicable tax, licensing, tag, and destination charge and title and registration fees), the 2015 Dodge Challenger will continue in the years going forward building on its already stellar legacy, as a powerful and "legendary sicon."

The project remodel for the exterior and interior re-design 2015 Dodge Challenger was "pioneered" by the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (FCA US LLC) and the inspiration for the "updated" features actually came from the 1971 model. The re-design makes it one of the fastest muscle car ever made and the styling rematch includes the projector lights with LED rings and the split grille, from the original 70s version of the muscle car.
