An assortment of different vehicles from Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles have been spotted in Colorado by Carscoops reader Brett
Borgard.
In remains unclear what they were doing in the state
but most of them look relatively stock except for the addition of charging lugs
and recovery hooks. The most notable changes can be seen on the
Charger and Challenger as they are equipped with an exhaust system with tips
that extend far beyond the rear bumper. This could suggest the company is planning
some performance upgrades but nothing is official as of yet.
While Dodge hasn’t go into details, the brand has
already confirmed the Charger is “doubling down with upgrades inside and out
for the 2019 model year.” Additional information will be released this summer
but the company has confirmed high-performance variants – including the Charger
SRT Hellcat – will feature an all-new grille.
The Challenger in also due for some upgrades as
Dodge recently revealed the 2019 Challenger SRT Hellcat will have a fully
functional dual-snorkel hood. The company has said the hood “looks even more
sinister” and provides additional air to the car’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8
engine.
Besides the cars, there were both new and old
versions of the Ram 1500. The new truck appears to be a Laramie variant that
features black wheels with off-road tires.
The group of vehicles also included a Jeep Renegade.
While the photos don’t reveal much, the model is due for a minor facelift.
Previous spy photos have shown the updated Renegade will have a new front
bumper, a modestly revised grille and LED headlights that mimic those on the
2018 Wrangler.
The interior isn’t expect to change much as the
model recently received updated fabrics, additional storage compartments and a
revised Selec-Terrain shifter.
