What Engines Are Available for the 2023 Dodge Challenger?
Your Dodge Challenger's engine depends on the trim you choose. The lineup starts with the SXT and GT trims, housing a 3.6-liter V6 engine coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission, producing 303 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is optional for these trims. Upgrading to the R/T trim reveals a robust 5.7L HEMI V8 engine, boasting 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, marked by a '345' badge on the front fender. For more power, the R/T Scat Pack trim features a 6.4L HEMI V8, delivering 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque, with a '392' badge on the fender. The pinnacle of power comes with the SRT Hellcat, offering a 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 with 707 horsepower and 656 lb-ft of torque. The Hellcat Redeye steps it up to 797 horsepower and 707 lb-ft of torque. The Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak and Super Stock variants reach an astonishing 807 horsepower. Transmission options vary: the V6 uses an 8-speed automatic, while the R/T, R/T Scat Pack, and Hellcat models come with a standard six-speed manual, with an eight-speed automatic option. The Hellcat Redeye, Jailbreak, and Super Stock revert to an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters for sequential gear changes.
What is the 2023 Dodge Challenger Last Call Lineup?
In the 2023 Dodge Challenger "Last Call" lineup, Dodge celebrates the Challenger's heritage in multiple ways. They're bringing back discontinued exterior paint colors like Destroyer Grey, Plum Crazy, Sublime, and B5 Blue. Each 2023 Challenger model now features underhood plaques displaying the Challenger's profile and its "Designed in Brampton" and "Assembled in Auburn Hills" origins. The highlight of the Last Call event is the special edition models. The Shakedown, originally a SEMA concept, offers a choice of Destroyer Gray or Pitch Black paint, along with unique black and red striping, a striking black and red interior, a Shaker performance hood from Mopar, 20-inch alloy wheels, and red Brembo brake calipers. Following that is the Swinger, a tribute to the 1970s Dodge Dart Swinger. Built on the R/T Scat Pack Widebody platform, it sports Gold School gold badging and wheels, contrasting Sublime or F8 Green paint, stylish black 'Swinger' vinyl graphics, 20-by-11-inch Gold School alloy wheels, and a Gold School Shaker hood scoop. Based on the 807-horsepower Hellcat Redeye, the Black Ghost special edition honors Godfrey Quall's iconic 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T. The modern Black Ghost features Pitch Black paint, Bright Chrome accents, a white decklid, a black snakeskin roof vinyl, and a chrome hood pin kit. Lastly, the Demon 170 edition is a high-performance marvel, tuned to unleash a staggering 1,025 horsepower and 900 lb-ft of torque, with a host of exceptional equipment.
Standard and Available Features for the 2023 Challenger
Over the years, Dodge has successfully modernized the Challenger while preserving its iconic design, reminiscent of the classic models. The Challenger's heritage is evident in its front end, characterized by a broad grille spanning most of the upper front fascia. An assertive hood overhang enhances its aggressive, low-slung stance. Like its predecessors, the 2023 Challenger retains the iconic dual round headlights flanking the grille. In the case of SRT trims, these inner headlights also serve as air intakes. The standard exterior features include LED brake lights, halo-style LED daytime running lights, passive entry, and 18-inch alloy wheels, among others. Inside the base Challenger trim, you'll find an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, an electronic T-shifter, six speakers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Opting for a higher Challenger trim level brings notable upgrades like LED headlights, a rear lip spoiler, a functional hood scoop, electronically controlled active exhaust, dual heat extractors, 20-inch alloy wheels, paddle shifters, SRT performance pages, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, performance seat bolsters, and more.
