Dodge doubles down on styling and performance for 2019. With the exception of the unchanged Grand Caravan minivan, all Dodge models offer sportier looks without the added cost of performance hardware or higher insurance premiums. The Challenger lineup expands yet again, and Dodge restructures the Charger lineup. Memorize the Durango SUV’s front end and lighting signature; a new Pursuit version is available to law enforcement this year.
