Phenomenal review! I have a 2021 AWD GT in Pitch Black with the Black Top Package/Plus Package/Driver Convenience Group/Sun Roof/Harman Kardon Sound System. It’s the best car I’ve ever driven. Handled way better than my Subaru Crosstrek did in the snow, this past winter. Everything in your review hit home and you have a great speaking voice. Thank you for not down sizing it for being a V6. Too many people love to hate. Once again, amazing review and video! Love the color!

11.5L/100 km is about 20.4 mpg. Reasonable for combined driving. The AWD sold me for Ohio winters, and I appreciate the several Canadian reviews on KZbin of this V6 beast. Awaiting my Go Mango from Brampton this summer. It's hellraisin' in any color you choose. Thank you for the review!

Thank you for the review. Challenger GT AWD is great cruiser giving the driver and crew old-school style, comfort, space and some fun. I would consider the V6 as cruiser rather than muscle car - let's leave this to V8 trims. Agree with nice sound being in fact not bad for V6, and reasonable fuel economy even by mid-European point of view (considering 300 HP, not completely slow and big heavy car): I can keep around 10-11 L/100 km easily and even better on long trips, city stop & go driving of course being worse but not exceeding around 12 L/100 km. AWD works well for snow and other slippery surfaces. After 1 1/4 year I have her as my daily, enjoying the weekend kind of fun even on business trips🙂.

My 2018 gets +19 mpg, but on a highway trip I get +30 mpg at around 75 to 80 mph. Its great for long trips; holds the road well, and the seats are comfortable. It doesn't have the punch of a V8 but easily gets out of it's own way, which is saying something considering it's size. The All Wheel Drive is Amazing! It handles better than a four wheel drive in the rain, ice, or snow. In dry conditions the AWD will kick in if it breaks loose; it will take a corner quicker than your stomach and keep pulling. The 3.6l Pentastar V6 is a princess about it's oil, especially in the winter; You have to run a full synthetic And one that doesn't thicken too bad in the cold. Pennzoil Premium synthetic was the worst; but I'm still looking for an oil that doesn't effect the Variable Timing Solenoids around zero degrees. Nothing is more disheartening than when your car sounds like an old Harley Davidson on cold startup. I hope this helps if anyone is considering one of these cars.

This was one of a few videos that I looked into before ordering a GT AWD. My only regret (so far) is that I waited for the 2023 edition; partly to save up a bit extra but also in case they had anything exceptional to add for the final year. Sadly, there didn't end up being anything along the lines of what I expected and it ended up costing the loss of the HellRaisin color I was dreaming of (still ended up with the deep crimson "Octane Red"). One of the few reviews I got to see that focused on exactly what I needed: "Car looks great, works in all weather, sounds strong, and has enough power." Because I live 90% in the city, a Hemi would be wasted (literally and figuratively) for me. So it's great to hear voices that talk about what the car is instead of whinging that "it doesn't have a V8" and ending every praise with that want.

I ordered one almost exactly like this a couple weeks ago. (Hellraisen, you bet!) I ordered the AWD because though there is no snow down here in Central Florida, we just entered the rainy season, and I want all the traction I can get. FWD is OK, RWD means fishtailing, but I hope AWD will be just right.
