he Charger name was applied to the 024 during the 1982 model year when Dodge's larger 2.2-liter, SOHC, four was fitted to the car as an option in place of the standard 1.7-liter engine. The 1.7 was rated at just 63 hp, so the move up to the 2.2's 84 hp represented a substantial increase in performance. Not that the "Omni Charger 2.2" was quick, but it wasn't as disastrously sluggish. The standard transaxle with the 2.2-liter engine was a five-speed manual and a three-speed automatic was optional.
