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.
