Although production has come to a close, the Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger keep the spirit of the American muscle car alive. Both of these vehicles feature performance, a thrilling drive, and Dodge heritage. Because of this, many Kansas City car enthusiasts opt to own one or the other. But what’s the difference between the Dodge Charger and the Dodge Challenger?
2023 Dodge Challenger vs. 2023 Dodge Charger
The Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger do share a fair amount of similarities, but there are some differences that might influence your purchase. In terms of similarities, both models offer V6 and V8 engines. They both feature retro styling for that iconic muscle car look while riding on the L platform. Although they may be mostly the same mechanically, you will spot differences with a closer look.
Dodge Challenger
- Coupe body style
- Available six-speed manual transmission
- Up to 1,025 horsepower from the factory
Dodge Charger
- Sedan body style
- Eight-speed automatic transmission
- Up to 797 horsepower
Overall, both vehicles are focused on performance. But the 2023 Dodge Charger does things a little more practically on the roads of Kansas City. For folks who love speed but may need extra room in their vehicle, it is probably the right pick.
On the other hand, the 2023 Dodge Challenger handles better and has slightly better acceleration. The backseat is usable as well, but probably only comfortable for adults on a short road trip.
