2015 Dodge Charger Pursuit launched

Following the unveiling of its new 2015 Charger earlier this year, Dodge has introduced a special Pursuit version for law enforcement agencies.

Compared to the civilian model the Charger Pursuit has plenty of modifications. Among them is a supplementary wiring harness and fusing that should make the installation of lights, sirens, cameras, computers and any other extra items much simpler. Also fitted is a slide-out ‘trunk tray’ upon which electronic devices can be mounted.

Unique interior features include a column-mounted gearshift lever and redesigned front-seat bolsters. Facing the driver is a 7” customisable instrument display screen, while the central part of the dashboard houses a 5” touchscreen that controls the Uconnect telematics system. Furthermore, the steering wheel has programmable buttons that can be set to activate aftermarket emergency equipment.

Like the regular Charger, operators can choose from either a 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 engine that produces 292 bhp (218 kW / 296 PS) or the 370 bhp (276 kW / 375 PS) 5.7 litre Hemi V8. Both come with rear-wheel drive, although the latter can be specified with all-wheel drive instead.

There aren’t too many mechanical changes, but the Charger Pursuit does boast larger and stronger brakes to help cope with the rigours of police use. For the same reason, the wheels are made from steel rather than aluminium.
