DODGE CHARGER
09

COMBINE LEGENDARY HEMI®POWER, FUEL-SAVING MDS
TECHNOLOGY, AND SPORT CAR HANDLING, AND YOU
END UP WITH A DRIVING EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER.
THIS IS THE 2009 DODGE CHARGER.

MODERN MUSCLE THAT’S BEST-IN-CLASS. Charger R/T is powered by the brilliantly redesigned 5.7-liter VVT (Variable Valve Timing) HEMI®V8 engine with a Multi-Displacement System
(MDS) for added fuel economy[1] and a 5-speed AutoStick®transmission. Besides offering best-in-class[2] 368 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque, Charger gives you a smooth ride that
grips the road with a standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP)[3] with all-speed traction control and brake assist and a performance four-wheel antilock brake system (ABS). Charger
SRT8®features a 6.1-liter SRT®HEMI V8 that pushes the envelope with a whopping 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, taking you from 0-60 in the five-second range — with
handling dynamics that blend power with precision. Find out more at www.dodge.com/charger [1]16/25 city/highway mpg with MDS. Results depend on driving habits and conditions. [2]Based on 2008 Ward’s Automotive
segmentation. [3]No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp flashes, the
driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt.
Charger SRT8 in Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl and Charger R/T in Deep Water Blue Pearl.

EXTERIOR STYLE
SIGNATURE CROSSHAIR GRILLE. Just below the long, wide hood, Charger’s front end is dominated by the signature Dodge grille, with aggressive, even intimidating headlamps.
SLOPING FASTBACK ROOFLINE. Charger’s unique styling features distinctive side glass and a sloping fastback roofline, with the beltline kicking up over the rear wheel arches, creating a muscular
shoulder over the wheel well.
18-INCH WHEELS. 18-inch ultra-brite aluminum wheels on R/T are pushed to the corners for a strong stance, reducing front and rear overhangs to enhance vehicle stability and ride quality.
DUAL BRIGHT EXHAUST TIPS. Charger makes a strong impression, even when disappearing down the road, with an aerodynamic rear deck lid ending in a raised lip to reduce lift, and dual bright
exhaust tips on R/T and SRT8®that lend more than a hint of its formidable power. For more style points, visit dodge.com/charger[1]Based on 2008 Ward’s Automotive segmentation with 5.7L HEMI®VVT V8.
BEST-IN-CLASS[1] 368 HP
AND 391 LB-FT OF TORQUE.
Charger R/T in Dark Titanium Metallic.

HEMISTRY. It began as code name Eagle. Chrysler engineers took the ingeniously powerful and masterfully efficient 5.7-liter HEMI®V8 power plant with Multi-Displacement Engine System (MDS) and
outfitted it with Variable Valve Timing (VVT), which improves engine breathing for better efficiency and power. Building on the quality, reliability, and durability of the HEMI engine, the engineers also
increased compression ratios and improved piston and valve spring design, as well as oil pump capacity. The result was an upgrade in mileage and power, especially at lower engine speeds.

MULTI-DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM (MDS). It brings fuel economy to HEMI power. MDS allows the 5.7-liter HEMI VVT V8 engine with MDS— sporting
best-in-class[1] 368 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque — to operate with the fuel efficiency of only four cylinders as needed, for improved fuel
economy.
[2] The HEMI engine is a marvel of modern engineering, thanks to its electronic throttle control and the advanced electronics that
allow the HEMI cylinder deactivation system to switch from eight cylinders to four in 40 milliseconds (0.04 seconds)! The engine idles on eight
cylinders for maximum smoothness, uses all eight for acceleration and heavy loads, and seamlessly transitions to four cylinders based on
torque requirements, even at interstate highway speeds. Thanks to an MDS software upgrade, the 5.7-liter VVT HEMI now spends more time in
fuel-saver mode. [1] Based on 2008 Ward’s segmentation with 5.7L HEMI VVT V8. [2]16 city, 25 highway, EPA est mpg with MDS. [3]18 city, 26 highway EPA est mpg.
6.1L SRT®HEMI V8. The high-performance 6.1-liter SRT
HEMI V8 pumps out an awesome 425 horsepower and
420 lb-ft of torque. It was developed by increasing
the bore of each cylinder, increasing compression ratio,
redesigning the intake and exhaust systems for better
airflow, and increasing engine speed.
3.5L HIGH OUTPUT SOHC V6. The formidable 3.5-liter
High Output V6 engine, with its refined dual-tuned
intake manifold, brings 250 horsepower and 250 lb-ft
of torque to the table. Platinum-tip spark plugs
allow for 100,000-mile scheduled tune-up intervals.
2.7L DOHC V6. The 2.7-liter V6 on Charger SE pumps out
178 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque, providing an
outstanding combination of performance, fuel economy,
[3]
exhaust emissions control, quietness and durability.

ENGINEERED ALONG THE CUTTING EDGE
The heart and soul of Charger is the powertrain. The driveline components of this
state-of-the-art road warrior is the product of sophisticated computer-aided engineering
and the most rigorous testing. By operating with precision at incredible speeds and able
to withstand the rigors of the roughest road, these parts enable Charger to smoothly
transfer engine energy to the wheels for a quality ride.
1 DRIVESHAFT. To ensure quiet operation, driveshaft alignment is maintained within one
degree under all operating conditions, with a unique collapsing feature for enhanced
passenger protection.
2 TWIN-PISTON CALIPERS. Front twin-piston aluminum calipers for Charger R/T provide
a larger effective radius than single-piston calipers, for improved antilock brake system
(ABS) response and maximum stopping power when Brake Assist is needed.
3 ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) WITH AUTOMATIC DISCONNECT. This exclusive feature
on every Charger with AWD supplies power to both axles, delivering excellent balance
for improved control under difficult road conditions. The system seamlessly transitions
between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive with no driver intervention. When all-
wheel drive is not required, the system automatically disconnects the front axle and
opens the transfer case from the drivetrain to reduce friction and rotational mass.
The system provides optimal traction, performance, and an improvement in fuel
economy. Only Chrysler LLC offers these two independent technologies together.
4 INDEPENDENT SLA SUSPENSION. This four-wheel independent suspension is one
of the most sophisticated and capable suspension systems the Chrysler Group has ever
developed, designed to provide excellent handling, a smooth ride and, with the tires kept
perpendicular to the road during cornering, a “glued-to-the-road” feel. Short/long arm
(SLA) front and independent five-link rear suspension not only absorbs the bumps but
provides added precision and responsiveness.
5 5-SPEED AUTOSTICK®TRANSMISSION. This available specially calibrated 5-speed
AutoStick transmission offers fully automatic or clutchless manual shifting range
selection and provides for more precise control of the gear ratio. Its true 5-speed gear
range provides a better balance of performance and fuel efficiency. Torque management
is electronically controlled by the 5-speed AutoStick transmission, making for smoother
gear shifting, up or down. Standard on R/T, SRT8®and on all Charger models with AWD.
6 REAR DIFFERENTIAL. The rear differential is engineered with unique gear ratios and
added case ribbings to improve cooling. This rear differential uses a synthetic lubricant
that not only performs better at high temperatures for flow but is made to last in normal
service for the life of the vehicle.

ATTITUDE RUNS IN THE FAMILY. With a 3.5-liter SOHC High Output 24-valve V6 engine mated to a 4-speed automatic on rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed AutoStick®transmission with
all-wheel drive (AWD), Charger SXT has what it takes to put 250 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque to use — a high level of standard performance features. To ensure a confident ride,
SXT utilizes an antilock brake system (ABS), all-speed traction control and Electronic Stability Program (ESP)[1] with Brake Assist and available all-wheel drive for improved control in
difficult conditions. On the exterior, it delivers cool authority with its aggressive grille, bulging haunches, fastback roof line, and 17-inch aluminum wheels. Inside, it delivers
versatility with a split-fold rear seatback and total comfort with low-back front bucket seats, air conditioning, and a power driver’s seat. [1]No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of
physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to
prevailing road conditions.Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt.

A DEEP COMMITMENT TO SAFETY AND SECURITY
1 ADVANCED MULTISTAGE FRONT AIR BAGS. Advanced multistage front air bags deploy in staged amounts, depending on impact severity. Available supplemental front-seat-mounted
side air bags[1] help provide even better protection, while available front and rear supplemental side-curtain air bags[1] help protect front and rear outboard occupants.
2 CRUSH ZONES. No one wants to test a vehicle’s impact resistance, but Charger is ready if it occurs. The front structure is composed of crush zones: the area in front of the engine; the
engine, transmission, and driveshaft; and the area between the engine and the instrument panel. Together, if these zones crush, they are designed to absorb impact energy and direct
it away from the passenger compartment.
3 ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS). Sometimes safety means being able to steer your car away from trouble — that’s why Charger features available 4-wheel disc brakes with an antilock
brake system. Besides affording premium stopping power, it enhances mobility and directional stability by allowing the driver to steer the vehicle while braking.
4 ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP).
[2] In adverse conditions, the available Electronic Stability Program with Brake Assist works with an advanced all-speed traction control
system to help the driver to maintain vehicle directional stability and it limits oversteering or understeering. Brake Assist detects conditions when maximum force is needed for
optimum stopping power. For more safety and security enhancements, visit dodge.com/charger[1]Always sit properly in the seat with the seat belt fastened. Children 12 and under should always be in a backseat correc tly
using an infant or child restraint system or the seat belt positioned correctly for the child’s age and weight. [2]No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available
traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions.Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always
wear your seat belt.
