Automotive research group AutoPacific announced today that FCA brands have won six awards in its 24th annual Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA), including two for Ram. Dodge Challenger again outmuscled the competition, winning the VSA for Sports/Sporty Car for the fourth year in a row. Based on results from AutoPacific’s New Vehicle Satisfaction Survey, which measures owner satisfaction via 27 individual vehicle attributes, the Vehicle Satisfaction Awards recognize the most satisfying cars, SUVs and light trucks on the market. For 2020, AutoPacific’s most satisfying vehicles include the Chrysler 300 (Large Car), Dodge Challenger (Sports/Sporty Car) and Ram 1500 (Full-Size Pickup). The Ram brand earns the prestigious title of Highest Satisfaction Popular Brand. “AutoPacific VSAs give consumers true, unbiased insight into which vehicles are providing their owners with the most satisfying experience,” AutoPacific President George Peterson said. An industry benchmark for measuring how satisfied owners are with their new vehicles, AutoPacific’s VSAs are based on survey responses from more than 73,000 new-vehicle owners. Ram Truck The Ram 1500, for the second straight year, captures the Full-Size Pickup VSA from AutoPacific. The benchmark for light-duty full-size trucks, the Ram 1500 received high marks in the New Vehicle Satisfaction Survey for interior styling and storage, driver's seat ingress/egress and innovative storage solutions. For 2021, the Ram 1500 has no intentions of slowing down — literally — with the introduction of the 702-horsepower Ram 1500 TRX, the quickest, fastest and most powerful mass-produced truck in the world. Further, the Ram 1500 strengthens its robust lineup for the new model year with the additions of the Limited Longhorn 10th Anniversary Edition and Limited Night Edition.

Most notable among these attributes were Challenger’s power, acceleration and braking, fun-to-drive character, passenger roominess and exterior design. Earlier this year, Dodge launched its newest drag-racing machine — the 807-horsepower 2020 Challenger SRT Super Stock, the quickest and most powerful muscle car. For the 2021 model year, Dodge brings added performance to the Challenger’s naturally aspirated 6.4-liter “392” HEMI® lineup with the Widebody Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker and T/A 392.
