In 2023, the Dodge Challenger lineup maintains its tradition by commencing with the SXT trim. True to its predecessors, this entry-level variant exhibits an abundance of muscle, propelled by a commanding 3.6L V6 engine that generates 303 horsepower. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain delivers seamless performance. While rear-wheel drive comes as standard, the option for all-wheel drive is also available. The exterior of the Challenger SXT boasts the iconic wide grille with a prominent hood overhang, complemented by round headlights featuring LED halo-style daytime running lights and LED brake lights. Additional exterior features include power-adjustable side mirrors, 18-by-7.5-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, and passive entry. Stepping inside the Challenger SXT reveals an inviting cabin equipped with push-button ignition, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration.

In the GT trim, the powertrain configuration remains unchanged, featuring the aforementioned V6 engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, and the option for rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. However, this trim enhances the driving experience by granting drivers greater control through the inclusion of steering wheel paddle shifters for sequential shifting. Moreover, the GT trim elevates the Challenger's exterior aesthetics by incorporating notable upgrades, such as an SRT front splitter, 20-by-8-inch alloy wheels, a performance hood, a rear lip spoiler, and a functional hood scoop. On the interior front, the GT trim introduces a premium six-speaker sound system, remote engine start, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, performance seat bolsters, and a flat-bottom leather-wrapped steering wheel.

R/T stands for Road and Track, meaning this trim is at home wherever you bring it! By upgrading to the R/T trim, you gain access to the formidable power of a 5.7L HEMI V8 engine, capable of delivering an impressive 375 horsepower. Paired with a six-speed manual transmission as the standard configuration, the option of an eight-speed automatic transmission is also available. Rear-wheel drive remains the exclusive drivetrain for the R/T trim and all subsequent trims. Showcasing its distinctive HEMI character, this trim features an Active Exhaust system equipped with an electronically-controlled valve. This valve allows for precise control over the engine noise, closing to limit noise during deceleration or coasting and opening up to unleash a resonant rumble when accelerating. The Challenger R/T boasts additional standard features, including performance suspension, performance steering, 20-by-8-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights, an 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, and rear parking sensors.

Beneath the R/T Scat Pack's hood resides a commanding 6.4L HEMI V8 engine that exhilarates with an impressive 485 horsepower. Similar to the R/T trim, the Scat Pack is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission for an engaging driving experience. Alongside the enhanced engine, the Scat Pack showcases a range of notable features. These include Dodge Performance Pages to monitor and analyze the Challenger's performance metrics, launch control, Brembo high-performance brakes, line lock functionality, and 20-by-9-inch alloy wheels. Notably, the Scat Pack trim is eligible for Dodge's Widebody package, which introduces eye-catching widebody fender flares, widebody competition suspension with adaptive damping, and 20-by-11-inch alloy wheels, imparting a broader and more aggressive appearance to the vehicle.

Sitting proudly atop the 2023 Dodge Challenger trim level lineup is the esteemed SRT Hellcat. Within the muscle car community, the Hellcat holds a revered status primarily due to its formidable, supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine beneath its hood, unleashing a remarkable 717 horsepower. Alongside its breathtaking powertrain, the Hellcat encompasses a host of performance-enhancing features designed to elevate the driving experience. These include but are not limited to, Bilstein adaptive damping shock absorbers, illuminated air catcher valves integrated into the grille, and a distinctive dual-snorkel hood. The Hellcat also incorporates innovative technologies to maintain optimal operating temperatures. The SRT Power Chiller, for instance, harnesses refrigerant from the air conditioning system and redirects it to the supercharger's cooling unit, effectively reducing its temperature after a vigorous track session. Meanwhile, the Race Cooldown function ensures that the radiator fan continues to run after the engine is turned off, aiding in the ongoing cooling process. Furthermore, drivers have access to a wealth of performance-related information through the SRT Performance Pages, accessible via the 8.4-inch touchscreen. These pages provide valuable insights such as G-Force measurements, 0-60 times, engine output readings response times, and more, empowering drivers with comprehensive performance data.
