Those wanting to complete the look can opt for the high-contrast black roof rack with buffed stainless steel rails. The single-piece, lightweight liftgate has an integrated spoiler and complements the glint of chrome-tipped dual exhausts, standard with the 3.5-liter V-6 that is available for North American buyers. The 235-hp V-6 is matched to a six-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick for North America, for an estimated 16 city and 23 highway mpg. This engine is standard on the R/T and R/T AWD models—and AWD is only available with that mill.
Lots of Engine Options, but North America Loses on Tranny Choices
Other powertrain options include Chrysler’s 173-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder “world engine” rated at 19 city and 25 highway mpg with a four-speed automatic transmission in North America and a five-speed manual in other markets.
The flexible-fuel 186-hp, 2.7-liter V-6 that can run on an E85 ethanol-gasoline blend delivers 17/23 mpg, with a four-speed automatic for North America and a six-speed automatic elsewhere—yes, second-class citizens that we are over here.
The rest of the world also gets a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel that delivers 140 horsepower and 229 pound-feet of torque. Outside North America, customers get a six-speed manual or a new dual-clutch six-speed automatic from Getrag. Something for us to aspire for here, as well?
