The American Dodge has officially released a new version of its six-cylinder Challenger, The SE Rallye.

Equipped with a V6 3.5-liter 250-horsepower, the 2009 version of the Challenger is entitled to a new look. Like its V8 cousins, the muscle sports car is to have the bands that are on the hood and trunk. Dodge chose to say a little more sporty character due to the emergence of 18 aluminum rims, a chrome tank cap, a rear spoiler and body color inserts “Micro Carbon” on board.

More important than its new appearance, Dodge Challenger V6 is equipped with the same automatic 5-speed which found in the V8 version unlike the past where customers had to settle for an automatic 4-speed gear box.

Consumption and rates:

The Dodge SE Rallye consumes 25-mpg-miles per gallon on the highway, slightly more than 9.4 liters per 100 kilometers while the car price will start from $ 26,490-(19,930 €).
