The Dodge Charger is one of the forerunners of the muscle car segment, delivering the sort of high-speed thrills and sporty styling that have made the sedan a true automotive icon. While a vehicle like the Charger could probably coast on its reputation alone, Dodge has worked to continually reinvent the muscle car for the modern market, incorporating new features, leveraging emerging technology, and responding to consumer demands to keep the Charger at the top of its segment.

The newest iteration in the forthcoming 2025 Charger is one of the most game-changing to date, with Dodge redesigning the muscle car from the ground up without losing sight of the attributes that have brought it so much success in the past. This includes an all-new, all-electric version dubbed the Charger Daytona, which promises no shortage of thrills with up to 670 hp and a zero-to-60-mph time of just 3.3 seconds. It’s a heck of a way to welcome the Charger back to our lineup here at Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, your premier Dodge dealer, after a 12-month absence that saw Dodge skip the 2024 model year.

The Charger might not have taken that long of a hiatus, but it’ll be a hot commodity when it returns to the streets in 2025. This anticipation, along with the consumer excitement that tends to come with the release of a new generation, is sure to create a lot of demand for the new eighth-gen Charger at your local Dodge dealer. Those who don’t want to pay a premium for getting behind the wheel of the all-new model should consider the 2023 Dodge Charger.

The last version of the seventh-gen Charger boasts a number of advantages for drivers who are looking to experience the muscle car lifestyle, especially when you take a peek under the hood. The 2023 Charger was the last to feature the legendary HEMI V8 that’s graced some of the most thrilling Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram models in recent memory. There’s certainly nothing wrong with the 2025 Charger’s 550 twin-turbo inline-six, but for performance-minded purists, there’s simply no substitute for a good HEMI. Join us as we review three highlights of the 2023 model and see how the Charger is keeping the muscle car relevant in a rapidly changing market.

HEMI Power on Tap

A powerful engine lies at the heart of any muscle car worthy of the title, and the 2023 Dodge Charger is no exception. The SXT and GT trims might lack the traditional HEMI V8, but the 3.6-liter V6 is a satisfying substitute with the ability to churn out 300 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque. That setup allows the Charger’s entry-level trims to offer a zero-to-60-mph time of 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 132 mph that, if not for the presence of a built-in governor, could probably be a little higher. The V6 isn’t just the most efficient Charger on offer at 19 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway, it also benefits from the same eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive setup you’ll find on the HEMI-powered Charger. This means that, pure horsepower and torque aside, all drivers will be able to enjoy the same potent powertrain no matter their budget.

But there’s no substitute for a HEMI. Drivers who want to unleash the Charger’s full potential should take a closer look at the R/T trim, which comes standard with a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 that can put out 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque without breaking a sweat. The Charger Scat Pack and Scat Pack Widebody trims add a little extra displacement with a 6.4-liter HEMI that, thanks to 485 hp and 475 lb-ft of torque, can hit 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds.

While this sort of performance is the obvious selling point of the HEMI engine, Dodge has also balanced out that raw power with a handy Fuel Saver Technology feature that sees both the 5.7- and 6.4-liter engines offer some impressive efficiency despite their eight-cylinder setup. The 5.7-liter offers an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 16 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway, while the 6.4-liter isn’t far behind at 15 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway.

If the 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 isn’t enough to get your blood pumping, a little forced induction might change your outlook. The Charger’s trim-topping SRT Hellcat, SRT Hellcat Redeye, and SRT Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak are three no-holds-barred high-performance machines that pair the 6.2-liter HEMI with a supercharger to squeeze every last pony out of the iconic engine. The Charger SRT Hellcat makes do with “just” 717 hp, but the High-Output variant found under the hood of the SRT Hellcat Redeye and SRT Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak up that number to 797 and 807 hp respectively. Add in 707 lb-ft of torque, and you’ll be able to rocket from zero to 60 mph in a scant 3.5 seconds

Dodge Performance Pages

There’s no question that the Dodge Charger was created with closed tracks in mind. When a vehicle is capable of the sort of muscle car antics that the Charger can pull off, it’s a shame to confine it to roads where pesky things like speed limits can get in the way of unleashing its true potential. The 2023 Charger comes with a generous suite of track-focused apps that allow drivers to log relevant metrics and take full advantage of the car’s brawny powertrain.

It all starts with Dodge Performance Pages, a one-stop shop where you can monitor and record real-time performance data. Accessed through the Charger’s dash-mounted Uconnect infotainment system, Dodge Performance Pages can track everything from horsepower and boost pressure to intake air temperature, air/fuel ratio, intercooler temperature, transmission oil temperature and more. Navigate to the G-Force tab and you’ll be able to easily monitor lateral/longitudinal G-Force, peak G-Force and even steering angle. Finally there’s the timer page where drivers can browse their best zero-to-60/100-mph times, 1/8- and 1/4-mile times with mpg, braking distance and braking speed.

Dodge Performance Pages also serve as the command center for performance-enhancing apps like Launch Control and Line Lock. Launch Control has made its way onto an increasing number of models in recent years and is a particularly good pairing for today’s torque-rich EVs. This feature takes all the guesswork out of getting a good start off the line, tweaking the Charger’s throttle response to maximize acceleration and get you up to speed in the blink of an eye, but the 2023 Charger does the standard Launch Control feature one better with the addition of Line Lock. When activated, Line Lock allows the Charger’s front brakes to lock up while keeping the rear brakes wide open. This is the perfect recipe for a little burnout which, in addition to looking cool, also helps the rear wheels warm up for the ideal amount of race-ready traction.

Eight Distinct Trims

With eight trims to choose from, there’s a 2023 Charger out there to fit every driver and every budget. It all kicks off with the base model in the SXT, but there’s nothing basic about this sporty trim. Packed with the 300-horsepower V6, TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, and a touring suspension that elevates the everyday driving experience, the SXT also looks every bit the muscle car with 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, a gloss black grille, and houndstooth cloth sport seats. The SXT’s interior punches well above its low starting price with eight-way power driver’s seat with two-way power lumbar, six premium Alpine speakers with a 276-watt amplifier, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob and a generous suite of advanced safety and security tech like ParkSense rear park assist, a keyless entry system with push-button start and the Sentry Key theft deterrent system.

The GT trim ups the ante with a performance-focused suspension, three-mode electronic stability control, and a functional hood scoop that keeps the V6 supplied with a steady stream of cool, fresh air. A performance grille, rear body-colored spoiler, and 20-inch Satin Carbon wheels add a little sportiness to the setup, while features like an automatic-dimming rearview mirror and Dodge Performance Pages allow drivers to enjoy the latest automotive tech. The R/T trim is where the first HEMI enters the picture, but you can’t discount the trim’s high-speed engine controller and active exhaust system. The R/T also gains 20-inch machined wheels with Granite-colored pockets and a leather-wrapped performance steering wheel with paddle shifters that give drivers a little more control over the eight-speed transmission.

The Scat Pack and Scat Pack Widebody trims are where the Charger really starts to flex its muscles. To contain all the power that the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 can produce, Dodge has outfitted the trims with four-piston Brembo brakes, a severe-duty cooling system, an anti-spin rear differential and more. These versions of the Charger are also treated to the Line Lock and Launch Assist features and set itself apart from the pack with 20-inch low-gloss Granite Crystal Wheels, black brake calipers, and projector LED fog lamps. As the name implies, the Scat Pack Widebody stretches out the Charger by 3.5 inches while also adding a Bilstein adaptive damping suspension with customizable ride stiffness settings, all-speed traction control, integrated fender flares, a performance fascia and two extra pistons for the Brembo brakes.

The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye (Widebody and Jailbreak versions) isn't just the fastest Charger on offer; it was also the most powerful and fastest mass-produced four-door muscle car when it hit the market in 2023. The 6.2-liter supercharged SRT HEMI V8 gets all the credit for that particular achievement, but Dodge has paired it with a well-rounded package that includes Pirelli P Zero tires, an SRT performance spoiler, and a single-scoop SRT hood with air intake. The posh interior fits the premium trim to a T with Dodge producing a luxurious interior complete with ventilated front seats, Laguna leather seat trim, door trim panel and a premium-stitched dash panel, heated rear seats, aluminum interior accents, an SRT leather steering wheel with red LED logo and advanced SRT multistage front airbags. The range-topping SRT Hellcat Widebody Jailbreak’s most noteworthy addition is obviously the 807-horsepower version of the supercharged HEMI V8, but Dodge has also thrown in 20-inch lightweight low-gloss black wheels, a 220 mph speedometer and an SRT power chiller that’ll keep everything nice a cool.

Satisfy Your Need for Speed Behind the Wheel of a Dodge Charger

The Dodge Charger might not have created the muscle car segment, but it just might have perfected it. Dodge is always pushing the envelope when it comes to automotive engineering and design, producing some of the fastest and most eye-catching models the industry has ever seen. The Charger, along with its two-door sibling in the Dodge Challenger, has been turning heads for over 50 years, whether it be on the banked tracks of North Wilkesboro Speedway, rush hour traffic, or a classic car show.

You can’t discuss the Charger’s history without factoring in the HEMI V8. The muscle car and its equally muscular engine are a match made in automotive heaven, offering drivers a surplus of power that provides edge-of-your-seat excitement every time you step on the gas pedal. The introduction of the new, eighth-generation Charger might mean the end of the HEMI, but drivers should be more than satisfied with its replacement in the new Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six, not to mention the muscle car’s all-electric evolution in the Charger Daytona. If you’re looking to learn more about any of these models or experience the Charger legend firsthand, make tracks for Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today.

Adventure Awaits In the 2025 Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler’s off-road ability is not just one of the SUV’s biggest selling points; it’s an indelible part of its history. The Wrangler is a direct descendant of the original Willys MB, a quarter-ton Jeep that served as the go-to light vehicle for the US military in the 1940s and 1950s. That battlefield pedigree is evident as soon as you step behind the wheel. While the Wrangler might have introduced a wide range of modern touches that dramatically improve the SUV’s profile from a comfort, convenience, and tech perspective, it’s maintained those heavy-duty details that make all the difference when venturing into off-road locales. more The Wrangler’s rugged body-on-frame design helps to distinguish it from the new generation of crossover SUVs that, while popular, often lack true off-road ability. Then there are those little touches that have long made the Wrangler such an iconic model. From folding down the front windshield to removing the doors and dropping the top for that classic wind-in-your-hair feeling, few SUVs possess the transformative potential of the Jeep Wrangler. If you’re on the hunt for a Jeep Wrangler for sale, you’ve come to the right place. Join us as we dive into some of the highlights of the 2025 model and learn how a quick visit to our dealership can transform your daily driving experience for the better. Power Your Way: Customize the 2025 Jeep Wrangler Customization is king when it comes to the Jeep Wrangler. Don’t believe us? Just pop the hood. The 2025 model is available with a wide range of powertrains that ensure you’ll always have the right tool for the job, whether it is a cross-country road trip, off-road adventure, or daily commute. The Wrangler gets off to a strong start with a 3.6L Pentastar V6 that’s designed to produce 285 hp. The V6 can be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, but it’s the standard six-speed manual that really sets the SUV apart in today’s market. The manual offers the sort of control that no automatic can touch, which should come in handy when you’re trying to navigate tricky off-road terrain or forge a strong connection between driver and vehicle. Those in the market for an economical engine that still delivers plenty of power should consider the 2.0L turbocharged inline-four option. Boasting an EPA-estimated 20 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway, this efficient engine is more budget-friendly than most of the midsize off-road segment when it comes time to pay at the pump. The inline-four might not be able to match some of the other 2025 offerings in terms of pure horsepower, but with 295 lb-ft of torque and a 5,000 lb max towing capacity, it exceeds all expectations. Then there’s the 6.4L HEMI 392 V8. Exclusive to the Rubicon 392 Final Edition, the V8 sets a new bar for SUV performance with 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque to its name. When paired with the eight-speed automatic transmission, the HEMI V8 makes the Rubicon 392 the most powerful Wrangler to date, with a blistering zero to 60 mph time of just four seconds flat. That sort of speed does carry a cost in terms of fuel economy, but you’ll have a hard time worrying about the gas gauge as the HEMI rockets you across the landscape. Those seeking a more efficient Wrangler experience can always opt for the plug-in hybrid 4xe model. Powered by a tech-forward triumvirate that includes a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four, two electric motors, and a 17.3 kWh battery pack, that Wrangler 4xe provides 22 miles of all-electric range and 49 MPGe while besting all but the V8 at 375 hp. Originally introduced in 2021, the Wrangler 4xe has proven itself over the last half-decade, allowing drivers to embrace the future while enjoying the same top-tier performance that’s long made Jeep the first and last name in the off-road segment. Unleash the Trail: The 2025 Wrangler’s Advanced 4x4 Systems The 2025 Wrangler continues to push the envelope with an innovative design that seamlessly integrates the latest and greatest in off-road driving tech. There are plenty of highlights to choose from, but the Jeep’s advanced 4x4 systems are pretty hard to ignore. It all starts with Command-Trac, which is perfectly suited for the off-road antics inherent to the Jeep lifestyle. Command-Trac not only improves traction in loose, slippery environments, but it can also switch between 4WD and 2WD on the fly at speeds of up to 45 mph. The two-speed transfer case includes both high-range and low-range gearing options, which means the Wrangler is always up for whatever the road might throw at it. Command-Trac comes standard on most trims and provides a well-rounded option that’s ideal for most driving applications. Selec-Trac represents one of the Wrangler’s most advanced 4x4 systems and is well-suited to both on-road and off-road scenarios. Selec-Trac can automatically switch between 2WD and 4WD in response to changing road conditions, which can come in handy when encountering tough winter weather or venturing into off-road terrain. When you engage the automatic 4WD setting, the Wrangler will dole out torque to the front and rear axles as needed, allowing drivers to enjoy all the benefits of 4WD without having to constantly fuss with the controls. This approach brings some real advantages in terms of fuel efficiency, which makes Selec-Trac a great choice for those who need an off-road companion that can double as a practical daily driver. If you’re seeking the ultimate in off-road performance, look no further than the Rock-Trac 4x4 system. Standard on the Wrangler’s Rubicon trims, Rock-Trac has all the bells and whistles you’ll need to find success on the road less traveled. With Tru-Lok electronic locking front and rear differentials and a unique transfer case with a 4:1 low-gear ratio, Rock-Trac sees the Wrangler outfitted with a full arsenal of robust off-road components. Rock-Trac is just as responsive as the Jeep’s other 4x4 offerings with the ability to swap between 2WD and 4WD modes but ups the ante with low-range gearing that’ll provide plenty of torque in low-speed scenarios. Rock-Trac comes in two different flavors: the classic part-time system and a new full-time offering that incorporates the adaptability of the Selec-Trac system. The 2025 Wrangler Is Tech-Savvy and Safe From its generous approach, departure, and breakover angles to its available 35-inch tires, tow hooks, skid plates, steel bumpers, and factory-installed 8,000 lb capacity WARN winch, the Wranglers wears its off-road credentials on its sleeve. While the Jeep’s exterior makes a pretty convincing case for taking a test drive, the interior boasts its own suite of advanced comfort, convenience, and safety tech that allows the Wrangler to hold its own in the competitive midsize category. Jeep has come a long way from its utilitarian roots, which is abundantly clear as soon as you get a look at the Wrangler’s dashboard. Jeep provides buyers with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display running the Uconnect 5 infotainment software, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an active noise-cancellation feature designed to eliminate any interference when you’re trying to take a call while moving at highway speed or bouncing through your favorite off-road hotspot. Speaking of off-roading, the Wrangler also features a built-in navigation system that comes loaded with over 3,000 mapped trails thanks to a collaboration with Trails Offroad. These trails include 62 routes that are part of the Jeep Badge of Honor program, which rewards drivers with badges that can be affixed to the SUV’s tailgate after they complete a particularly challenging journey. A hands-free voice recognition system comes standard, allowing drivers to adjust various settings, make and receive phone calls and texts, and control the Uconnect 5 infotainment system without ever taking their eyes off of the road. Add in Bluetooth connectivity, TomTom GPS navigation with live traffic updates, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, plenty of USB ports, and an available 115-volt AC outlet, and it’s easy to see why the Wrangler has become such a popular option amongst those who put a premium on modern entertainment and convenience tech. The Wrangler also provides drivers with an impressive lineup of advanced safety features, including some advanced driver-assistance systems that can make a difference in terms of driveability. The SUV is packed with an advanced cruise control feature that can bring the Wrangler to a complete stop in dense traffic, not to mention available rear cross-traffic alert and a blind spot monitoring system designed to reduce the chances of an unwanted encounter with another vehicle. The ParkView rear backup camera and available rear parking sensors make navigating dense parking lots a breeze and can also be helpful when trying to guide the Wrangler through a sticky stretch of off-road terrain. An Adventure-Ready Classic The Jeep Wrangler has steadily matured into one of the most versatile SUVs on the market, but it’s never lost sight of the off-road heritage that has long captivated adventure-seeking drivers. Sure, the 2025 Wrangler might offer all the connectivity and convenience features that are so important to today’s tech-loving drivers, but it also gives drivers some of the most advanced 4x4 engineering in the segment with the Command-Trac, Selec-Trac, and Rock-Trac systems. With four engines to choose from, including the plug-in hybrid 4xe, you’re sure to find a powertrain that fits your unique driving needs. If you’re eager to begin your off-road journey in a new Jeep Wrangler, the team at Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is here to help. We offer a wide selection of new and pre-owned Jeep models, including the 2025 Wrangler. Stop by and let us show you everything there is to love about the iconic SUV and learn how Jeep’s flagship model has managed to stand the test of time in a rapidly changing industry.

Three Reasons the Wrangler Rubicon Is Really (Really) Rugged

Would you say that you’re more adventurous than most? You don’t blow off steam at mimosa brunches or on the golf course. You get your energy out on the open road, surrounded by boulders and waterfalls instead of fake grass and heat lamps. You want to touch and feel nature at its wildest points and aren’t that interested in touching polyester at department stores. Well, it sounds like, whether you realize it or not, you’re in need of a Wrangler Rubicon. The Rubicon is the most advanced off-road variant of the Jeep Wrangler, and it’s pretty much prepared to take you wherever your adventure ambitions want to go. more You can find the Jeep Wrangler for sale, including the impressive Rubicon, at our well-stocked dealership. We know it will excite avid off-roaders and thrill-seekers alike. But you don’t have to blindly trust us on that. Below, we’ll break down three features that make the Rubicon extremely competent on rough terrain (there are way more than three, but we’ll start with these). Even if you’re an avid off-roader who already understands some of these features, it’s always inspiring to refresh ourselves on the cool things a genuine off-road SUV can do. Whether this blog educates you, motivates you, or both, one thing’s for sure: you’ll be packing your camping gear by the end of it. Front and Rear Lockers Let’s first discuss the front and rear lockers, which are going to be your best friends in low-traction situations. As a refresher, lockers let you lock two wheels on an axle together so that they spin at the same speed. If one of your wheels loses contact with the ground, the locker will send torque to the wheel that still has a grip on things, which ensures your vehicle keeps moving forward. As you can imagine, when you ditch pavement and concrete for muddy trails and rocky terrain, there’s no guarantee that all of your wheels will make contact with the ground—or at least quality contact with it—at all times. You could hit a trail that was unevenly washed out by a rain storm, so you have one tire hitting dry land while the other is trudging through mud. You might be on a trail that’s been partially gutted by a herd of wild buffalo, constantly covering potholes on one side, then the other. It’s important that the wheels that have traction get maximum torque. Lockers do that. Why do we love that you get both front and rear lockers on the Rubicon? Keep in mind that many models have rear lockers. But you’ll have the most command with both because it will let you keep on going even if only one of your four wheels has traction. When you have front and rear lockers, you’re ready to tackle any challenging terrain. But remember to disengage those lockers when you have to return to the concrete jungle—locked wheels are tough on tires when you’re driving on regular roads. Electronic Sway Bar Disconnect When you’re navigating appointments in the city or carpools in the suburbs, you want a pretty stable vehicle. You don’t want your vehicle bouncing around in response to every little bump in the road. That’s why it’s great that in most cars, your suspension’s left and right sides are connected, keeping things stable. But when you escape paved roads for wilder environments, you accept that a stable ride simply won’t happen. And, at that point, keeping the left and right sides of the suspension connected can actually lead to an even more turbulent drive. It’s like trying to stay super still when you’re standing in the waves of the ocean; somehow, things just get easier when you let yourself ride the waves and go with the flow. You can effortlessly ride whatever terrain you’re exploring by disconnecting the sway bar of your Rubicon. It’s going to disconnect the two sides of your suspension, so your suspension can bend and flex over challenging terrain, and your wheels can do their own thing, unhindered by the movement of the other. You’ll find that you can climb over rocks with much more ease this way and maintain terrific traction. Just remember to reconnect that sway bar when real life drags you back onto paved roads. Otherwise, you’ll experience some shocking body roll when you’re turning the corner by the grocery store. XTreme 35-Inch Tire Package An impressive off-road vehicle wouldn’t be complete without impressive off-road tires. We highly recommend adding the XTreme 35-inch Tire Package. That will get you 35-inch all-terrain tires with beadlock-capable wheels. The reinforced side walls and amazing traction of these tires should give you the confidence to tackle the trickiest of terrain. If you plan on reducing the air pressure in your tires for off-roading, you’ll appreciate being able to secure that tire bead to the wheel so it doesn’t dislodge when you go rock crawling. This package also gets you a reinforced swing gate, allowing you to mount a full-size 35-inch spare tire. Oh, and you also get a nice 1.5-inch lift with this kit, getting you better clearance on obstacle-littered trails. Even though you'll have to pay more for it, we think this package is well worth it if you want to see what the Rubicon is truly made of. Plus, unlike installing aftermarket lift kits and bigger tires, a Rubicon with the XTreme 35-inch Tire Package is fully covered under your standard Jeep factory warranty and you know that every part of the package will work together perfectly and last for a long time without any surprises. If you’re custom-ordering a Wrangler Rubicon with us, be sure to ask about this awesome package. Explore the Off-Road SUV That Will Explore With You If you’ve made it this far without ordering tons of protein bars and dusting off your hiking boots, then we hope you’ll come to see us when you’re ready to get your very own Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. We have many Wrangle enthusiasts on our staff who would be thrilled to put you in a Rubicon! Tell one of our Wrangler experts about the trails you plan to explore. We can take you for a spin in this off-roading icon, showing you the different knobs and buttons that control the various features we discussed today. We can also show you the many other special Rubicon features we didn’t cover today, from cool off-road camera views to available retractable roofs. We love the sense of freedom and excitement the Wrangler brings to people's lives, and we take great pride in playing our role in bringing that to them. That’s why we also want to assist you in finding your ultimate off-road adventure machine. The feeling you get when you’re out there in the wild in the Rubicon is priceless (but we understand it’s not cost-free, so we’ll help you with that part). When you get a chance to test out all these great off-road features out on the trails, you'll immediately understand why the Rubicon is such a legend in the off-road community.

An Overview of Chrysler's Lineup for 2025

Case in point: For 2025, Chrysler's lineup consists entirely of minivans. If you're in the market for something family-oriented and comfort-driven, you're definitely going to want to head to a Chrysler dealer like ourselves for good values on feature-rich family vehicles. We'll cover the trim levels of each of Chrysler's models, as well as some of their packages, core features, passenger capacities, and available configurations.

The time away from the market enabled Chrysler's engineers and designers to devise cost-effective measures to make this seven-seater minivan more feature-rich, more comfortable, and safer than any previous generation. Another highlight is that the 2025 Voyager offers excellent performance for its size. Powered by the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, the 2025 Voyager makes up to 287 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque and is paired up with a 9-speed automatic transmission. You can achieve an estimated 19 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway in front-wheel drive.

You can access the second or third rows via the power sliding doors, and you can reach the 32-cu.ft. rear cargo area via the power liftgate. Tri-zone automatic HVAC controls help regulate the temperature within the Voyager, while active noise cancellation helps keep the cabin quiet from outside noise. The center console stack, powered by the Uconnect 5 system, also includes a 10.1-inch HD touchscreen that pairs with a 7-inch driver digital display cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with Bluetooth streaming capabilities are also available, and you can enjoy SiriusXM satellite radio and make hands-free phone calls and texts via Amazon Alexa voice support. There is a lot of safety embedded into the Voyager as well, including features like rear park assist to help you park the minivan safely, as well as adaptive cruise control.

The FAV Edition also comes standard with a Harmon Kardon 19-speaker surround sound system and a subwoofer. You can also upgrade the standard Uconnect system with the available Uconnect Theater featuring Amazon Fire TV and a FamCam rear-seat camera. Much like the Voyager, the 2025 Pacifica comes standard with a 10.1-inch touchscreen upfront, featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, along with apps and vehicle health information. However, the Pacifica is available with dual rear-seat-mounted 10.1-inch touchscreens with Amazon Fire TV support, enabling those in the rear rows to access movies, television, music, and video games while on the go. Synchronization with the Chrysler app also makes it viable to remotely access the vehicle, including remote lock/unlock and remote start functionality, plus vehicle location services. You have available 8-way power driver and front passenger seats, with 4-way power lumbar support for the driver. Heated and ventilated seat functionality is also available, along with multi-zone automatic HVAC controls. Heated rear seats also add to the comfort, especially if you take long travels or commutes and want to ensure everyone is enjoying the ride. A full suite of safety systems helps keep you safe and stable on the road, thanks to many standard driver assistance features. The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV offers many of the same features as the traditional Pacifica but provides a more fuel-efficient alternative via the PHEV powertrain. This setup sees the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 paired with a 16.2-kWh battery pack and electric motor, providing you with 260 hp with a continuously variable transmission; this translates to a robust estimated fuel economy of 82 MPGe, or 32 miles of electric-only driving. This makes for a very enticing option for a family minivan that offers plenty of range. The PHEV setup further provides you with extended fuel economy thanks to the built-in regenerative braking feature. You can also keep track of your fuel economy via the infotainment suite, where you will receive notices to let you know when you're getting the most out of the vehicle during stop-and-go traffic. The Pacifica PHEV is also available in three distinct trims, with the Select being added to the lineup for the first time, followed by the S Appearance, with the Pinnacle sitting at the top. The Pacifica PHEV is available in five color options, including Bright White Clear-Coat and Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat for the standard colors, and Ceramic Gray Clear-Coat, Fathom Blue Pearl-Coat, and Red Hot Pearl-Coat for the premium color options. The Pacifica and Pacifica PHEV both feature Nappa Leather bucket seats; additionally, the Safety Sphere Package is available if you want the surround-view camera system and the parallel and perpendicular park-assist with automatic stopping, which is in addition to the ParkSense front and rear park-assist. You can have other packages like the Roadside Emergency Kit and Interior Protection, but the best value in the Pacifica comes from the Uconnect Theater and Sound Group. This boasts second- and third-row window shades along with built-in GPS navigation support, a 760-watt amplifier, HD radio, and video remote controls with a USB host flip. You also have SiriusXM 360L with three-month subscription access, hands-free sliding doors, integrated voice commands, and the Amazon Fire TV and FamCam features. This is all in addition to the standard Uconnect 5. Are You Interested in a 2025 Chrysler Model?
