When the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat was first displayed on the sales floors, it cost a significantly high amount of money. It's now seven years after, and a used Hellcat from 2015 can cost approximately half of what it was in 2015, given that the particular unit is in very good condition and kept in great shape through proper maintenance. The Hellcat has some interesting features it used to attract buyers. These features were quite noteworthy either for their novelty or for their advanced technology. While there are several variations of the Hellcat, the main and most popular version is the one that has actually depreciated in value by as much as 50%.

When The 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Was Newly Launched

The Challenger Hellcat commanded a pretty steep price tag upon its debut back in 2015, as the original MSRP started at $60,990. It could put out 707 HP and 650 lb-ft of torque with its 6.4-L V8 engine. Many other vehicles in a similar class, such as the Challenger SXT, Challenger R/T, Chevrolet Camaro SS, and the Ford Mustang GT, all have starting MSRPs at approximately half that of the Challenger Hellcat.

Furthermore, for an additional $400, the new "Torqueflite" ZF eight-speed automatic was made optionally available. That said, it's also notable that the Challenger Hellcat charges a reasonable price when factoring in the horsepower output from the engine, as its cheaper alternatives hardly possess such high level of output range through their engines. Therefore, it could be argued that the Challenger Hellcat is a better value when considering dollars per horsepower.

But what does this seven-year-old car cost now? Although the Challenger Hellcat had an initial starting MSRP range of $60,990 to $64,990, it has thankfully depreciated by nearly 50% in the last seven years, making it far more affordable. A neatly used 2015 Challenger Hellcat which has racked up about 12,000 miles per year in the last seven years, which also has been properly maintained, is expected to be available for sale for about half of its original cost price. Nonetheless, as always, the price is expected to vary from seller to seller.

A trade-in is the cheapest option, with private sellers coming in next, while sales through dealership retail remains the next most expensive. For a unit in outstanding condition, an average price could be $38,448 for trade-in, $42,521 for private sellers, and $46,251 for dealership retail. For a unit in clean condition, which is the next lower tier, prices averaged $36,307 for trade-in, $40,187 for private sellers, and $43,626 for dealership retail. Fairly good units have prices averaging at $32,026 for trade-in, $35,519 for private sellers, and $38,377 for dealership retail. Finally, if the unit is in “rough” condition (the lowest tier), then prices could average as low as $27,745 for trade-in, $30,851 for private sellers, and $33,127 for dealership retail.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Is A Comprehensively Upgraded Muscle Car

A lot of features underwent a redesign when the Hellcat arrived. While some changes were subtle, others were not only noticeable and obvious, but prominently promoted. In the interior near or on the dashboard, there's a redesigned instrument cluster, a new electronic shifter, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, a seven-inch customizable gauge cluster, and the Uconnect infotainment system. While a few of these features were available in previous Challenger Hellcat models, they have been modified and upgraded slightly for the 2015 model.

Uconnect has maps supplied for driver's clarity, and Bluetooth connections are now available. Even the steering wheel underwent a redesign, so it now looks like it could easily match other similar vehicles. The exterior had an even more noticeable redesign, as shown by the new grille, repositioned headlights, taillights, front fascia, hood, front doors, spoiler, and rounded rear end. The end result is a lower, more aggressive stance, although the racetrack taillights have returned from the previous model, and they retained their old form. Fuel economy ranges from 13-19 MPG in the city and 22-25 MPG on the highway.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Was Built To Annihilate Rivals

Keeping up with the competition was the main motivation behind the Hellcat's creation. The Ford GT500 and Chevy Camaro ZL1 were gaining prominence, while also mopping up a significant share of the muscle car market sales back then. Dodge wasn't in the game. Hence, having devised a solid plan, the company moved to effect the plan, culminating in the launch of the Challenger Hellcat in 2015.

News of its 707 HP, 6.2-L V8 engine stunned the public, as such an output even till date remains an incredible amount of power by any standards for an automobile. Also, this led the public to even agree that for the performance being promised on the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, the $61,000 to 65,000 price tag is fairly reasonable.
