2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Interior and Cargo

On the base SRT Hellcat, Houndstooth-upholstered seats in black are standard fare, along with Hellcat logos. Laguna leather seats are optionally available as part of the Laguna Leather Package, but adding this option automatically includes the Plus Package (adding a premium-stitched dashboard and door panels) and the Driver Convenience group for a hefty total of $5,185. Color choices for this upgrade are Black, Sepia, and Demonic Red. Other choices are black Nappa leather/Alcantara seats, black Alcantara/Laguna leather seats, and Demonic Red seat belts. The Carbon and Suede Interior Package adds carbon-fiber accents along with a suede headliner.

The Challenger's 16.2 cubic feet of trunk space is commendable in a high-performance coupe and is on par with some traditional midsize sedans. The majority of competitors don't come close, with the Camaro's 9.1 cubes being an example. So, there'll be no problems with accommodating the weekly shop or around six carry-on cases. In the cabin, small items can be stowed in the large center console compartment but the door pockets are on the small side. Two cupholders are situated behind the gear shift lever, which can be a bit inconvenient in models equipped with the manual transmission. In models equipped with the rear seat, these can be folded down to increase storage, while the rear seat deletion option replaces the rear compartment with a large cargo net.

The SRT Hellcat is well-equipped with features like dual-zone air-conditioning (including ventilation outlets at the back), illuminated front cupholders, a seven-inch reconfigurable digital display between the speedometer and rev counter, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, an eight-way adjustable (six-way power-adjustable) driver's seat, heated front seats, a universal garage-door opener, a heated steering wheel, and a manually tilting/telescoping steering column. On the safety front, Dodge has equipped the SRT Hellcat with hill-start assist, a rearview camera, the ParkSense rear parking assist system, and a tire-pressure monitoring system. On the options list are features like a power sunroof, and rain-sensing windshield wipers, along with driver aids like blind-spot monitoring, auto high beams, forward-collision warning, and rear cross-path detection.

Despite the Challenger's age, the infotainment system goes a long way to making the coupe feel fresher than its years. The 8.4-inch touchscreen forms part of the Uconnect 4C infotainment system which is one of the most user-friendly setups available - a major bonus in a performance car that requires pretty high concentration levels from the driver. The system boasts standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, CD/DVD/MP3 compatibility, SiriusXM radio, Bluetooth streaming audio, an audio input jack, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and two USB ports. Navigation is optionally available. Audio is channeled via a sound system that has six Alpine speakers, but an 18-speaker Harman Kardon sound system is available.
