About the Dodge Challenger LA
The retro-styled third-generation Challenger entered production in 2008 on a large rear-drive platform. The 2019 SXT was its accessible V6 entry point, with an eight-speed automatic and a more relaxed character than the supercharged SRT cars. Its long wheelbase and usable rear seats make it a comfortable cruiser rather than a lightweight sports car. Dodge ended production of this generation in 2023.
