The 2009 Dodge Challenger is a two-door, five-passenger coupe that offers innovative technology and bold styling. Introduced in very limited numbers for the 2008 model year, for 2009 the Dodge Challenger comes in three trim levels, featuring a range of powerful engines. The Challenger’s retro-inspired styling remains the car's strongest selling point.
The 2009 Dodge Challenger is available in three trim levels – the entry-level SE, R/T and the limited-edition SRT8.

The R/T offers a precision-shift six-speed manual transmission - the first for a HEMI-powered car - that makes 375 horsepower when running on premium fuel. The R/T gallops from zero to 60 mph within six seconds. The SE is powered by a 250-horsepower, 3.5-liter robust V-6 engine with a four-speed automatic transmission. EPA fuel economy is 18 mpg City / 25 mpg Highway on the Dodge Challenger SE.
