- Airbags
- Equipped with standard, advanced multistage driver and passenger front airbags[2], as well as standard side curtain airbags[2], Challenger has earned the government's highest frontal and side crash rating[1]: Five-Stars.
- Safety Cage
- Five-Stars say it all. Extended sill reinforcements and cross beams in the rear seat and side doors help to absorb energy in the event of an impact. Challenger's steering column is also designed to absorb energy and lessen potential impact, while the B-pillar contributes to structural rigidity and benefits rollover protection.
- HomeLink®
Use the available HomeLink® universal transceiver to sync Challenger to up to three radio-controlled devices in or around your home. Buttons in the cockpit instantly bring devices like your garage door opener, security system or interior / exterior lighting under your control before you exit your vehicle.
- Earning Five-Stars
To determine safety rating, the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) tests vehicles in a series of controlled crash and rollover tests. During each trial, instruments record the force of impact to crash-rating dummies and rate accordingly. The Five-Star designation is the government's highest rating [1], which is great for Challenger, but more importantly, for you.
- Key fob features
Lock and unlock, sound the panic alarm and illuminate your entry with a touch of a button. And even deter possible thieves with the Sentry Key® engine immobilizer.
With Sentry Key®, Challenger's engine will shut down unless the properly encoded key is used.
