October 26, 2021 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Just in time for Halloween, Dodge is showcasing two shockingly stylish trims for the 2022 Dodge Charger and Challenger — new HEMI® Orange and SRT Black appearance packages.

“The HEMI Orange and SRT Black packages offer two distinctive appearance options for the 2022 Dodge Charger and Challenger,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge Brand CEO – Stellantis. “Performance-vehicle owners are unique, and these two packages offer our customers the chance to stand out even more on the street."

The HEMI Orange appearance package, available on GT RWD and Scat Pack Widebody models for Charger and Challenger, pays homage to the iconic HEMI engine that has powered Dodge muscle cars for decades. Like the distinct orange look of early-era HEMI engines, the HEMI Orange package colors outside the lines to create a unique, orange-and-black combination of accents that transform both exterior and interior.

Outside, a new orange accent tracer complements vehicle-length Gunmetal striping, while orange outlines the Midnight Grey Metallic grille and fender badging. On Scat Pack Widebody, orange Brembo six-piston calipers contrast with Carbon Black “Warp Speed” 20-by-11-inch wheels (GT RWD features Brembo four-piston calipers with Medium Gloss Black 20-by-9-inch wheels).

In the cockpit, orange stitching embellishes the instrument panel, door uppers and armrest, console lid, shifter boot and leather flat-bottom steering wheel. The seats also sport orange stitching, as well as a monochromatic Dodge Rhombi seatback logo. For Scat Pack Widebody, an orange-and-black “392” instrument panel badge decorates the inside. Blacked-out interior modifications include the steering wheel bezels, shifter body and cluster trim, cup holder and vent rings.

Ordering for the HEMI Orange package will be available through dealerships starting in the fourth quarter of 2021 with a U.S. manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $2,995 for GT RWD (includes Performance Handling package with Brembo four-piston calipers and 20-by-9-inch wheels) and $1,500 for Scat Pack Widebody. A HEMI Orange option will also be offered for the 2022 Dodge Durango R/T and R/T Tow N Go, with details and availability to come in the first quarter of 2022.

The SRT Black package, available for Charger and Challenger on the SRT Hellcat and SRT Hellcat Redeye models, offers the option of blacked-out exterior badging and accents. Charger and Challenger join Durango in offering the SRT Black package, which is available on the Durango SRT 392.

Exterior SRT Hellcat badging, including on the grille, fender and spoiler for Challenger and on the grille, fender and decklid for Charger, is modified with a Midnight Grey Metallic appearance. The package is completed with Black Nickel exhaust tips on the Charger SRT, while Black Nickel exhaust tips are standard on Challenger SRT models.

The SRT Black appearance package will also be available for ordering through dealerships in the fourth quarter of 2021 with an MSRP of $695.

The updates for '22 MY have been what you expect from a company just trying to extend the sales life of their product. But if you can't get one right off the dealer lot, why should they even try? I'd honestly be stoked with a few more color options - you know, the fan favorites (Hemi Orange, Plum Crazy, Yellow Jacket, B5, Fuchsia/Panther, Green something).

And the enhanced security features for '22 really shouldn't be considered added features since they're items that should (and hopefully will) be retroactively available for previous model years.

I don't know. From a cost vs return perspective, this is about all that makes sense. You can't expect them to sink large amounts of R&D $ on a platform that's on it's way out.
At least they are doing something. Better than nothing. :rolleyes:

Did anyone notice that's a GT with the Scat Pack hood instead of the single scoop "SRT" hood?

Meanwhile Chevy just unveiled a C8 Corvette Z06 with 670 hp N/A. 0-60 in 2.6 and the capability to run with anything Europe can offer, on any track.

Nissan has the new 400Z, Acura is coming out with a new Integra and a new NSX, Honda is coming out with a new Civic Type R and a race version of it. Ford made the Mustang Mach 1 and Shelby GT500 lately. BMW has new M cars with mind-blowingly good performance, Mercedes AMG is knocking it out of the park, I could go on...

But, Dodge has a new stripe package! This is almost frustrating at this point. I know they are capable of so much more. Do something.

Hmmm, seems there is a 807 horsepower Super Stock, 797 horsepower Redeye, and a 717 horsepower Hellcat available? Just because they haven't announced a new 900 horsepower Lucifer model, it's not like they don't have anything to offer. The stripe package is lame, agreed, but I've long held that the choices for Challenger may be continue with small changes, or goodbye altogether. You can decry that is the current situation of course

I have to say, for a while I hoped they would bring back Hemi Orange exterior paint but I have really grown to appreciate Go Mango as a much nicer color in my opinion. I had a ‘13 HO R/T but I much prefer the color of my ‘18 Scat Pack

I am not impressed with these two appearance packages.

From a selfish standpoint, I am glad that Hemi-orange is still an exclusive paint color that was only offered on the 2008, 2009 and 2010 Challenger SRT and R/T models.
don’t forget 2013…. Ask me how I know 😁

Do these colors like hemi orange or Go Mango fade over a period of time? :unsure:

Yes, this is one of the main reasons I had my Scat Pack Ceramic coated. I knew it was going to be a few years until I moved where I can garage it. Ceramic is supposed to offer good UV protection.
