Dodge Challenger can be purchased by placing an order at 4S dealerships through the imported car purchasing method. Introduction to the Challenger: It is a model under Chrysler, with the first generation launched in 1970. Challenger Market: The U.S. automotive market is dominated by General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, making the Dodge Challenger, Chevrolet Camaro, and Ford Mustang top-tier products in the same category. This highlights the importance of the Dodge Challenger to Chrysler. Import Method: Currently, all Dodge products are primarily sold in China through imports, as there are no automotive processing plants in China capable of producing Dodge vehicles. In 2009, Dodge introduced the second generation of the Challenger.

I recently helped a friend inquire about this car! The Dodge Challenger currently has no official import channels in China, so it can basically only be purchased through parallel imports. You can order the car from dealers specializing in American-spec imports. Major port cities like Shanghai, Tianjin, and Guangzhou have larger concentrations of parallel import dealers. I recommend getting quotes from multiple dealers, as there can be significant price differences. Note that American-spec cars may require a Chinese system interface, and some regions' strict environmental requirements might affect registration. Oh, and before placing an order, make sure to get a written guarantee from the dealer that the car can be registered—otherwise, you could end up with a car you can't legally drive. The Challenger's design is truly bold, especially its wide, flat retro front end, which really stands out on the road. However, maintenance and repair options are limited, and common parts can be expensive, so be sure to consider this beforehand.

Last time we chatted about this at the tuning shop. If you want to buy a new car, there really aren't any 4S stores in China where you can directly purchase a Challenger anymore. But in circles like ours who love American muscle cars, we usually turn to specialized parallel import trading companies in Shenzhen or Tianjin to act as purchasing agents—they have established customs clearance channels. There are also a small number of second-hand cars in circulation, and you might occasionally spot a 2017 or 2019 SRT version on used car websites, with prices fluctuating between 450,000 to 650,000 RMB. A special reminder: pay close attention to the China VI emission standards for imported cars. Some cities are particularly strict about environmental inspections for parallel imports. I know a fellow car enthusiast who couldn't get his car licensed due to environmental parameter issues, and the car sat in storage for over half a year before he had to sell it at a loss. Honestly, I think the Mustang 5.0L is less hassle, but the Challenger's boxy, retro styling is truly irreplaceable.

This car is currently only available through parallel import. You should visit more import car showrooms like Beijing Cool Car Town, Shanghai Wuzhong Road, or Guangzhou Chentian. Some showrooms may have stock available. Last month, a dealership in Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone had one in stock, with the orange wide-body version priced around 850,000 yuan. It's recommended to have the dealership handle the OBD certification and PDI inspection for you, as the procedures for imported cars are particularly troublesome. Also, a reminder that its steering wheel is on the left side, and the visibility is different from regular cars.
