Dodge Challenger vs Dodge Charger

 The Dodge Challenger and the Dodge Charger are two similar vehicles with retro styling and powerful muscle car performance, but they do have some differences to consider when deciding between them.

Drivers in Franklin, Greenwood, and New Whiteland can discover the key differences between these powerful vehicles with our Dodge Challenger vs. Dodge Charger comparison.

Performance

 The Dodge Challenger comes with a 305 horsepower V6 as its base engine, but it offers four additional V8 engine choices, ranging from 375 horsepower to 840 horsepower with the supercharged Demon. Each of these engines offers rapid acceleration and remarkable speed, but the Demon engine takes the lot. The Charger has similar offerings, beginning with a 292 horsepower V6 base engine and three V8 engines that offer between 370 horsepower and 707 horsepower, all with abundant power.

Both the Challenger and Dodge Charger have sharp handling and composure through the tightest of turns, giving you the full benefit of the performance experience. These are designed to be muscle cars, which they back up with agility and athleticism. Sturdy brakes and precise, responsive steering ensure you always feel confident and in control.

Interior

 The Dodge Challenger and the Dodge Charger both seat five, but that capacity goes down with the Challenger Demon model and its track design. Both rows of seats are spacious and comfortable, giving even tall or large adults the room they need to relax and enjoy the ride.

Trunk space is close for these vehicles, with the Charger offering a little more at 16.5 cubic feet compared to the Challenger's 16 cubic feet. The Charger's split-folding rear seats make it easier to haul large items as well. With this amount of space, you can easily fit several shopping bags or plenty of luggage.

Technology

 The Dodge Challenger comes standard with dual-zone climate control, two USB ports, the Uconnect® infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen equipped with Bluetooth® connectivity, and Apple CarPlay? and Android Auto? smartphone integration. The Charger has all of that, but adds keyless entry, another USB port, and voice commands.

The Uconnect® infotainment system is widely regarded as one of the top systems on the market, thanks to its straightforward interface, intuitive options, and responsive touchscreen. With the smartphone integration, you'll enjoy all your phone's media and apps for phone calls, texts, music, podcasts, and whatever other features you want to enjoy on the road. The voice commands feature of the Charger is especially helpful, however, since it allows you to input your commands without taking your attention off the road.
