- Опубліковано 27 лют 2015
- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2015 Dodge HEMI Charger Pursuit Police car has plenty of power to catch the bad guys. But what happens when the bad guys live way up North? That's when you need the AWD Charger Pursuit car with the HEMI engine. But can this badass cop car put the power to the ice ground.? We recently found out in Montreal, Canada in this ice and chilly TFL AWD Test Track Review.

It really is too bad that Chrysler insists on leaving this out as an options for civilian purchase. For those of us that live in the north, it would be a nice option. Not that its a necessity with good tires and proper driving.
Mytagforhalo up to 2014 you can get one
TheRealDirtyDan not true 2015-2018 also
Famus 801 Only in the V6 models though. They don’t offer AWD with the 5.7 V8 anymore in the civilian version.
I mainly wish they would at least give the option for AWD with the HEMI in the charger or the Hellcat I can only imagine how insane that would be!
I have an awd RT, that's with the hemi, even in Northern Ontario all season tires are more than eneough
I miss the crown Vic's. Easy to spot and slow. Now you need a modified super car just to leave them in the dust before they get backup.
There is a video on UA-cam of a hellcat outrunning a police car.
@@robc8468 that’s a high performance car
@@robc8468 The hellcat ran out of gas and the suspect was arrested, didn’t outrun, can never outrun the radio.
On the 2015 AWD police Charger the guy said it has a 8 speed automatic. I believe he is wrong it is a 5 speed only the RWD has a 8 speed .
A580 on all squads through 2020. 8-spds beginning 2021.
Right: awd v8 is only available for police .
Wrong: it's the automatic 5 speed that is used in awd, not the 8speed like in rwd
Not anymore. The 2021 models will all have the 8-spd automatics.
awsome i have a r.t awd 2011 nice to see the hemi still in these awd pursuits :) Hope
Nice ride just drive test a 2015 sxt and it feels really good in the road. Didn't expect it to feel comfortable and the acceleration is not forced. If you go 50 you feel like just going 35. Would definitely get a scat pack very soon
my dept has two of these 2 3 tauruses 2 explorers and 1 undercover accord all wheel drive sport
Good video
Thats a pretty cool police car. Must be pretty cool to drive it. Nice video
Awesome ride.i own p71b Crown Victoria.2010.
Why the hell dont our officers have these in Alaska. Well I guess its cause there real expensive but seriously. The front wheel drive manage but awd would be way better damnit
Seth Anderson An SUV/Truck would still be better due to ground clearance.
The AWD Charger Pursuit bid out for around $24,500 in 2020, or about $10,000 less than the new 2020 Exploder.
I thought AWD Hemi police cars only came with a 5-speed auto.
Through 2020. The 2021's will have the 8-spds. The guy goofed.
After seeing the new charger in police uniform it looks pretty cool and that's coming from a guy that hates the 15' charger
its the same car....
MattacksRC Not even close. It's a tool, designed and marketed to specific customers only.
The 2015-up Police Pursuit with the V8-5.7 and AWD has the kind of basic vehicle performance I envisioned for a prospective Universal Television police procedural series. But in my native California, the trim ring wigwag on the front headlamps is barely bright enough for a blocking-traffic situation (e.g. a Highway Patrol Police Pursuit stopped athwart a closed road, front reds and blues all steady on, rear traffic advisor alternating center amber with left blue and right red as a pair). Clearing traffic calls for, basically, railroad ditch lamps shooting out of the directional-signal luminaires (13 CCR 818 specifies Class A emergency lights), as the projector headlamps haven't the overspray for the off-axis requirements.
The exact ELS package I picture for a "shooting" Pursuit is primarily Federal Signal: Spectra-Lux ILS fore and aft (with the rear specially programmed for multicolor versions of standard SignalMaster patterns), Viper SL mirror and nudge-bar lights, custom EIA-485A multicontroller (derived from the SmartSiren Platinum), and e-Q2B-CN amplifier driving a BP200EF on the nudge bar. Fenix Cannons in the directional luminaires would take over the front wigwag duties. Whelen has the searchlamp bulbs, a P46SLR driver-side and P46SLC helper-side; plus dual PAP100 PA/radio-relay amplifiers driving hideaway speakers in the stock fog-lamp nacelles. CHP-standard RockwellCollins touch-screen CDU, ELS controls integrated into a full-custom version of the Dodge R/T sound-system wheel in black with white rim (VOL/SQ, CHAN/DIV, Shift, SCAN, R-AMB/R-RED, F-RED/WW, SIREN, LRC-O, R ALY/L ALY, SPOT/TD), the whole hundred metres.
You have too much time on your hands to overthink everything.....
I have one with a Hemi, it’s awesome.
Nice, you were in Mirabel, near Montreal !
Thanks for the heads-up. You are absolutely correct!
+The Fast Lane Car In Canda?
awsome
So come on what happened in the renegade?
icar is such an mazing place! Not that far from my house!!
I'm sure the 370 hp probably contributes just a bit to the push in the turns. Sure is nice on the dry pavement though!
I saw that in the intro shots. Push push push oversteer.
I'd buy this in a heartbeat ....if allowed .C'mon Dodge!!!
It is lol
I have a 2014 Dodge Charger Police Persuit 5.7L V8 HEMI and its fun as hell to drive. Better front suspension, better transmission, everything upgraded from the civilian version R/T.
I bought mine from a Police auction in Dallas, Texas with just a bit over 79,000 miles on it and they recently replaced calipers, struts, shocks and tires according to the paperwork because there was a "squeek" reported by the highway patrol officer. Its in excellent condition, drives amazing and leaves everyone in the rear view mirror until you can't see them anymore. I paid $4,000 for it and absolutely love it.
I wish FCA would introduce a 2 door Charger based road runner type car with those black steel dog dish hubcap wheels bare bones interior and basic radio hardly any sound proofing and a 5.7 Hemi 8 speed for $25,000 MSRP and a beep beep horn I would buy one tomorrow.
Rob C yeah and a beep beep
The Plymouth Road Runner had that horn. This is a Dodge.
They confirmed in 2016 there will be no Charger coupe. Get over it.
I wish the column shifter was available on civilian models. Console shifters unless manual are always in the way and take up space that could be used for storage/cup holders.
I like the old style rims better
This is AWD. Different hubs. The RWD models still use the 5-spoke steel.
Does anyone know where i can go to convert my RWD car to AWD? Do you know of any shops that do this?
Cheaper to sell your car and buy one already equipped.
i want one.
No criminals are gonna run when they see that Charger.
So FCA doesn't plan to offer AWD on the civilian V8 Charger /300?
Almost no one was buying the AWD with the V8 so they dropped it for this model year. Only the V6 is available.
That really sucks. I picked up the 2014 Hemi AWD Charger here in NY and I absolutely love it!!. When the lease comes up I won't have that choice anymore and will have to drop down to a V6?? After driving a badass V8?? That's bullcrap!! How do you take that CHOICE away from customers?? Dodge left the snow states out in the cold on this one. Really bad idea. I've seen plenty of other AWD Hemi Chargers in NY btw. Hope they bring that option back at some point. I really want to continue leasing Chargers. I will not drop to a V6 Charger as long as I'm out here in NY.
Flex B I agree Flex, I am in Michigan and deal with the same weather. I want a charger so bad but I won't be talked into a v6 Charger. Would rather buy a used one or a used Grand Cherokee SRT.
Flex B and so you know, I work for FCA making the Pentastar, it's a great engine but it's no Hemi.
James Cecil It's just awful James. Yes you certainly can pick up a Hemi Cherokee. But James it's a Hemi Cherokee! Not a badass Hemi Charger that turns dreamers' heads or makes haters foam at the mouth! James if you can find a used one that is a lease return then think about snapping it up. I love my Charger and it's so freaking intelligent. It engages mandatory AWD drive when the temperature drops below a setpoint. Too many other things to list here. If they don't bring the AWD option back, I may have to keep my Charger. Problem with that is I'll miss out on future tech. It really sucks.
Frisky. Is it frisky? I think it's frisky. Frisky! Did I say frisky?
wait... i tought that was americain... then i saw Mirabel Qubec, i was like WTF? ITS MY CITY
Go where the snow is I guess....
Most of the larger municipal and state police agencies won't purchase the Hemi V8 due to the maintenance costs and liability issues. Police pursuit guidelines are more strict nowadays and the public relations nightmare of civilians being injured due to a 100 mph vehicle chase aren't worth it.
baldwinhart Perhaps I should only speak for the State Police agency where I spent 22 years as a Trooper. The legal liability of that much horsepower and speed in a high speed pursuit causing injury or death to the suspect, the officer, or an innocent civilian wasn't worth a Hemi. Imagine the public outcry if an officer is driving in excess of 100 mph, chasing a suspect who ran a stop sign and subsequently crashes. Even though the suspect failed to stop, the public always blames the police department for not allowing the bad guy to flee and escape like nothing happened. Years ago the local city police department chased a motorcyclist on a stolen motorcycle who was speeding and took off instead of pulling over. A chase ensued and the motorcyclist crashed after several miles. He severely injured his leg and it was subsequently amputated. He successfully sued the department for his self inflicted injury and was awarded several hundred thousand dollars in a settlement.
And that's why we don't buy Hemi's.
J High I agree with you to at point Hemi I believe you need a bigger engine to keep up but. at the same time you should know when to call it quits.
Even the standard V6's go high 130s. Afraid to go over 100? So in the example you gave was the officer driving 135-150 which would be the speed a Hemi could take the cruiser over the V6? People think the Hemi is like a rocket with spears attached to a car. It's not, it's just stronger feeling but it sure isn't scary or awe inspiring. The cruiser is operated just like any of our other equipment, according to policy. We have vehicle operations policies just like Taser and firearms and computers for that matter. The AWD option is what drew us to the Hemi. I'd call off a pursuit at speeds below the top of either of the engines max. We have shown the Hemi to get slightly better economy compared to the V6 in 80/20 city biased operation.
supperterofsanity agreed, and with bid price reduction in mid-2016, AWD and the Hemi isn't much more than a RWD V-6.
That new design on the charger looks terrible, but i guess it can make for a nice cop car
What ever happened to emme?
Ditto where is she
She just reviewed the Sedona. You must have missed her review. Go back a few days of videos, it's a fun review.
The Fast Lane Car Oh cool that's fine.Thanks for the update
ferbbe02 rt
Wants to hear the V8 not stupid old head garage band
These are 5 speed transmissions.
Bruh
Men will always be boys, we get older but we still act like little kids @ 2:17
Slow cars, base mod Honda would leave one of these in the dust around a city. That AWD Hemi is only good for accelerating on slippery surfaces like snow
I bet it's still limited to a top speed of 130 MPH.
When given to public only 149
could really do without the piss poor music
Took u guys dodge a long time to go awd lol
I bet the awd ford's still handle and drive better
The Charger has been available with AWD since its re-launch in 2006.
Not the police package. Charger nor caprice read slower next time
Kubeanie Gaming Maybe if you had paid attention in school you could write an intelligible sentence instead that garbage text you write and people could understand what you mean. You might have learned not to be a complete ass too.
1guyin10 somebody's Butthurt lol who cares move on
You're too ignorant to know the difference.
Bet still can't stay up with a ATV on snowy roads...:)
Don't know a car that would.
Bet an ATV won't keep up with an enduro bike!
Bruce Solomon in snow,ATV every time....Don't get me wrong,non icy condition the dirt bike every time....ATVS are better choice,and snowmobile is the best choice in the snow.
Mr Clarkson OK you might have something there. Snowmobile for sure!
Meet all of you with skis and a hot buttered rum in the ski lodge!
Bruce Solomon :)
Bruce Solomon coming!
Subura AWD only way to go.
Dean Zelles This car will absolutely *smoke* a Subie.
@@pkranz937 wanna bet?!
TOO BAD ITS AN AUTOMATIC
***** nd most us cops cant drive stick
+Fanjing Liu well they don't have time to either. Imagine trying to press buttons. Use a computer, and talking to other cops while you're trying to shift your car .
+SWATROLLK9 driving a manual transmission car isn't hard its second nature when you know how to do it just because you don't know how to drive it doesn't mean it's impossible to do that and do what cops do you lazy fuckers need to learn how to drive stick shift
+D Boi Yes it does become second nature, but officers still need time to focus on other things and not shifting a fucking car. Stop being a hater, No one is lazy.
Shifting isn't a big deal dumbass it's not like they're in rush hour traffic switching from 1st to 2nd to 1st again they're driving quick so 123456 have u learned your numbers Jimmy? They'll get there faster in a manual everything else is secondary
what a shitty awd system
