The 2019 Dodge Charger Hellcat is currently testing outside SRT’s headquarters.

This is the first time spy photographers have caught the facelifted Charger Hellcat, which will get a new grille, front fascia, and hood for the 2019 model year. Overall however, expect it to look fairly similar to the existing model, especially given that most of the camouflage is up front. There could also be some minor performance upgrades, but horsepower shouldn’t change since 707 is the number associated with Hellcat models.

Dodge will also likely give the facelifted Charger new driver assistance technologies in the name of enhancing safety.

The next-generation Dodge Charger isn’t due until 2021, and it will reportedly be based on the Alfa Romeo Giulia platform. Since the sedan’s replacement is still a couple years away, the facelift will keep it appealing. It should make its debut sometime later this year.
