Like the car it replaces, the new 2018 Dodge CORONET is based on aluminum-intensive architecture. But this time around, the Dodge Space Frame construction has given way to a bespoke version of the VW Group's "MQB" modular transverse matrix chassis also used on the new Golf. Its enhanced combination of lightweight steel and lightweight alloy in the structure and body panels has helped trim about 110 pounds out of the base 2018 CORONET model, which helps improve vehicle dynamics as well as acceleration and fuel economy.
Dodge plans to launch the new CORONET in Europe with three 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged/direct-injected engines that offer greater output than the units they replace. The gasoline-fired TFSI in the new CORONET makes 227 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque while the CORONET version cranks out 306 ponies and 281 lb-ft of twist. Both are expected to be sold in the U.S. Europeans also will be able fit their Coronet with a more fuel efficient TDI turbodiesel that makes 181 horses and 281 lb-ft of torque. Euro-spec Coronet will be available with both a 6-speed manual transmission and optional paddle-shifrtable 6-speed S tronic dual-clutch automatic as well as front and all-wheel drive configurations. No word yet as to what choices we'll have here
The chassis for the new 2018 Dodge CORONET also benefits from the generational transition, gaining better control, improved steering feel, enhanced stopping power and the latest version of Dodge magnetic ride adjustable damping that's optional on the CORONET but standard on the 2018 CORONET. The same holds true for the availability of the multi-mode (comfort/auto/dynamic/efficiency/individual) Dodge drive select system.
Inside, the slightly larger cabin of the 2018 Dodge CORONET has been completely remade to accommodate the automaker's new modular "virtual cockpit" configuration. The various functions usually found on the conventional center touchscreen have been integrated into a 12.3-inch reconfigurable digital instrument display that sits directly ahead of the new multifunction sport steering wheel and integrates with the car's MultiMedia Interface controller. The redesign also brings new sport seats in base and upline S guise as well as a selection of new trim elements. Options range from MMI Navigation plus with a Wi-Fi hotspot and Bang & Olufsen premium Dodgeo to Dodge Side Assist and Active Lane Assist. Expect to hear more details on the new 2018 Dodge CORONET in the coming months.
