Battle Between Two American Icons
If you have waited for the perfect moment, this is it. The 2023 Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger mark the end of an era as the last generation of their kind. Both muscle cars have had a long run as the epitome of American prowess and racecar-worthy street cred. As all eyes look toward an electrified future, the growl of a robust V6 or HEMI® V8 becomes even more distinct and endangered.
At Chuck Stevens Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we are in the business of making your muscle car dreams come true. The 2023 Dodge Challenger and 2023 Dodge Charger are impressive options and statement-making vehicles that set them apart from the crowd. But which one is right for you? Our team takes a deep dive to compare the legendary muscle cars.

Body Styles and Options
The biggest difference between the Dodge Challenger and Charger is the body style. The Challenger is a race-worthy two-door coupe with a modernized retro-inspired look. The Dodge Charger is more suitable for daily drivers who want to have their cake and eat it too. It's spacious enough for families but has cool vibes and similar powertrain options as the Challenger to enjoy the thrills. Both vehicles come in numerous trim levels and engine options, so you can choose the level of race-ready prowess. No matter which one is for you, our team can help you find the perfect match.
