All-Wheel Drive Dodge Challenger Accidentally Confirmed By US Government
Leaks are fairly common these days, and frankly they're often good for publicity as far as new cars go. But, as leaks go, the American EPA's confirmation of a four-wheel drive Challengerwas so low-key it nearly slipped under the radar
Dodge is about to release a four-wheel drive Challenger, and it sounds awesome.
The fellas at Jalopnik spotted an entry on the Environmental Protection Agency’s website, for a Dodge Challenger GT, which is confirmed on the same page as driving all four wheels.
Its a couple of miles per gallon worse on fuel than the rear-wheel drive version but the extra traction, plus the ability to plough on through winter weather, is surely going to be worth it.
The catch? As Dodge initially tests the water for consumer demand, it’s going to be V6 and automatic only. We really, really hope they stick a V8 into it, because that would be beyond amazing.

Could there be a possible rival to the hoonicorn in future……I wonder
ALL wheel drive, V6, auto only! Has the auto industry in America gone mad?! I blame Trump.
For people who find the rear drive v8’s a little to ‘challenging’ to drive i guess..
I like the sound of that tbh because its “could” rival the Subaru Impreza or WRX/STI :O
The typo ‘challengerwas’ is also so low key it nearly slipped under the radar
This will do really well as a rental car.
V6, auto and AWD form the holy safety trifecta as far as rental companies are concerned.
So the AWD version will basically only be driven by tourists and mountain people.
Now have to pay for a full set of tires after every launch!
Finally a reason for it not to do a burnout…
finnaly now boats can turn on land
AALLLLLLWWHHHHEEEEELLLLDRRRRIIIVVVVVEEEEEEAH!
