In 2015, Dodge introduced the Charger SRT 392 alongside the Charger Hellcat for its debut model year. However, the "392" name had previously appeared in 2013 as an appearance package option for the pre-facelift Charger. Dodge produced 392 units with the 392 Appearance Package between 2013 and 2014, featuring custom gloss black 392 HEMI fender badges, dark chrome wheels, and satin black SRT lower body stripes. The roof, hood bulge, grille, rear spoiler, and rocker panel stripes were also finished in black. The 2015 Dodge Charger 392 doesn't borrow any of the original 392's design cues but retains the 6.4-liter HEMI engine. Did the power and performance numbers change? Read on to find out.
Some might view the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT 392 as an alternative if you cant spring for a Hellcat, but don't be quick to assume it's lacking in excitement. The 2015 Charger refresh also included a power bump for the 6.4-liter HEMI, pushing power figures to 485 horsepower and 475 lb.ft. But that's not all. The 2015 Charger SRT 392 also has an adaptive suspension, beefier brakes, and wider tires as part of the drivetrain upgrade compared to the Scat Pack. Now, onto the performance numbers. 0-60 mph should take 4.3 seconds or thereabout, depending on the engine's health, considering it's relatively old and top speed maxes out at 175 mph. It's no dragstrip warrior like the Hellcat, but the quarter mile shouldn't take more than 13 seconds, which is impressive for a car weighing 4,410 pounds.
Sitting below the Hellcat meant that the 2015 Dodge Charger 392 got a similarly, if not equally-built cabin. Like other Chargers, the cabin has more than enough wiggle room in the first and second rows. You can fit five passengers inside, unlike in the Challenger, which only accommodates four, despite Dodge advertising the cabin as capable of seating five. The benefit of the 2015 Charger SRT 392 being a higher-spec model is the leather seats and nicer interior trimmings, although almost all of them are made from plastic. And for a car close to a decade old, the interior will likely need some work.
The Dodge Charger received its first major update in 2015, and it looked strikingly similar to today's models. That means owning a 2014 Dodge Charger SRT 392 guarantees a look that won't look outdated. The biggest changes were on the front, featuring a completely redesigned front facia with a new bumper design, new headlights, and a redesigned grille. The headlights were the biggest change as they gave the car identity, especially with the daylight-running lights. 20-inch Hyper Black forged wheels were also part of the 2015 refresh and were standard on the SRT 392, but there's a chance you won't get these in many examples listed for sale. However, Dodge didn't change the design much, so the car still looks like any other muscle car. Or perhaps better, especially with the four doors, since they add some necessary bulk.
Car tech in 2015 was more basic compared to today's advancements. But surprisingly, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT 392 doesn't feel a generation behind compared to newer Chargers. Features like the adaptive suspension, which was new for 2015, make it feel new, allowing suspension adjustment for a more comfortable ride or sharper handling. Also new for 2015 is the 8-speed automatic, which offers smoother and quicker shifts than the 5-speed automatic in older model years. However, if you prefer more driving engagement, you can get a unit with a 6-speed manual transmission. Driver assists, and safety features are as expected from a car made nearly a decade ago. Still, in addition to the essentials, you also get lane assist, adaptive cruise control with automatic stop, and active braking.
The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT 392 typically averages around $25,000, making it one of the best practical modern muscle cars available in that price range. For the money, you get decent performance, a generous cabin, and a range of features that still feel modern despite the car's age. Our Dodge listings feature a variety of Dodge Charger SRT 392s. So, if the 2015 model doesn't cut it for you, you can pick a newer model year that perfectly suits your needs.
With its blend of power, comfort, and never-aging style, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT 392 holds its own even against newer models, offering an exhilarating driving experience without breaking the bank. Its utility as a Challenger also makes it worth considering, which might be precisely why you should go after one.
