Earlier this month, Mopar Insiders said it got wind of a special edition Dodge Challenger that would help celebrate the end of the muscle car’s extraordinary production run. Said to have flex-fuel capability that could quaff E85, all MI could glean at the time was that the new Challenger would make more than the Dodge […] July 18, 2022 at 01:25AM

It’s no easy task to determine the year of the very first Dodge station wagon, because the wagonlike vehicles of the Dodge Brothers’ early years were “screensides” based on truck chassis and the sedan deliveries of the 1930s weren’t made as family haulers (though the truck-based Dodge woodie wagons of the middle 1930s seem to […] April 11, 2022 at 01:26AM

Dodge has announced sweeping plans to whet the gearhead appetite in a program called, cheekily, “Never Lift.” It promises a new product or enthusiast-related announcement every three months or less for the next two years, plus a road map that’s alternatively titled “24 Months of Muscle.” Kicking it off are several programs, the most significant […] November 09, 2021 at 06:57AM

The Stellantis SEMA news spout isn’t closed yet, and this time it’s all about Mopar. Today, we present to you the 2022 Dodge Durango Mopar Edition. It’s essentially a regular Durango R/T that’s been worked over from head to toe with Mopar parts. Instead of just being a concept like the other Stellantis reveals for […] November 03, 2021 at 06:58AM

SEMA is back this year, and as is tradition, the American Stellantis brands Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Mopar are bringing some truly amazing concepts to the show. The brands have come up with seven vehicles, four from Jeep, two from Ram and one from Dodge. Some of them show off the current Mopar catalog and […] October 30, 2021 at 06:58AM

Dodge has done a stunningly good job of keeping the Charger and the Challenger, two of the oldest cars sold new in the United States, looking fresh. Its designers aren’t out of ideas yet: It announced Hemi Orange and SRT Black packages for the 2022 model year. As its name implies, the Hemi Orange package […] October 28, 2021 at 06:58AM

According to News 6 in Orlando, Fla., the Orlando International Airport was the site of a small Hellcat heist. The local news agency learned that four Hellcat-powered cars – two Chargers, a Challenger and a Grand Cherokee Trackhawk – were stolen from the airport’s two closest parking garages. Three of the cars were apparently taken […] October 16, 2021 at 06:57AM

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they’re driving and the infractions they’ve compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site’s data analysts decided to compile […] October 14, 2021 at 06:47AM

Automotive News‘ forecast for the Dodge Durango is a cliffhanger, reading, “End in 2024?” If the three-row muscle SUV does only have two model years left, next year’s minimal changes that giveth and taketh away make sense. With the Hellcat engine a one-and-done for the lineup, five trims remain: SXT, GT, R/T, Citadel, and SRT […] October 11, 2021 at 06:59AM

We often say this here at Autoblog — maybe we don’t say it often enough — but there truly aren’t many mediocre-to-terrible cars on the road anymore. Most cars are pretty good, and many-to-most are downright appealing, with fascinating new vehicles coming out all the time. That sense is borne out in the 2021 edition […] September 17, 2021 at 06:58AM

This anecdote will date me: During the 1979 oil crisis, I was filling up my VW one day when an old guy on the opposite pump began bitterly cursing about having to pay $1.50 a gallon for gasoline — $5.60 in today’s money. He probably expected to hear a “damn right, mister,” but I nodded […] August 26, 2021 at 06:58AM

Dodge earlier this year revealed plans to put an electric spin on the muscle car. It also warned it will need to ditch the V8, but it noted that adopting electrification won’t immediately drive the Challenger and the Charger out of its range. “The new platform comes in 2024. The new car comes in 2024. […] August 20, 2021 at 06:57AM

A relatively new saga involving hornets in the Pacific Northwest begins with the adjective “murder” and gets worse from there. A relatively dated saga involving hornets in the automotive industry begins with the name “Dodge” and is — or could be — much friendlier to plant and animal life. Last year, former Dodge parent company […] August 12, 2021 at 06:58AM

Jeep and Dodge are putting a much bigger focus on electrification now that they’re part of the Stellantis group. Jeep plans to release its first series-produced electric vehicle in 2023, and Dodge said its first plug-in hybrid will land in 2022. Both models appeared on a product roadmap that Stellantis distributed to investors this month. […] August 05, 2021 at 06:57AM
