So, which model is the best fit for you? Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg area drivers can learn by reading this comparison from the Ray Price Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram team. We'll show you the best of what each has to offer.
Dodge Challenger vs Dodge Charger: Style
When you set the 2018 Challenger next to the 2018 Charger, the first major difference you'll notice is in the exterior designs of each car. While the former goes for a more traditional look, the latter seems rooted in modern flair.
The Dodge Challenger pays homage to its muscle car heritage in its wide frontal stance and its broad, raised tail end.
The grille of the Challenger fans out in a black horizontal line, with circular lights on either end to embolden the nose. The addition of an available SRT® twin racing stripe or optional cold-air intake only take things to the next level.
The Dodge Challenger employs some of these same elements. It has an available cold-air intake and a similar broad, black grille. However, its body shape seems to lean more towards a sport sedan than the classic muscle car.Â
Dodge Performance Specs
In cars like these, you're understandably expecting a bit of extra oomph. You want an engine that doesn't just purr, but growls when you hit the accelerator.
The same powertrain options are offered in both the Challenger and the Charger (a good thing, if you're a big fan of horsepower.)
The base engine is a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine. In the Charger, this produces 300 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, it produces 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque in the Challenger.
The top engine option is perhaps the most impressive. The supercharged 6.2L HEMI® SRT Hellcat V8 engine produces a whopping 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque in each car. That really ought to shake things up!
Challenger vs Charger: Interior Technologies
Whether you're trying to measure your racing stats or just want to stay entertained, both the Challenger and the Charger have a host of technology to go around.
Uconnect® 4C NAV is offered in each of these vehicles. This provides drivers with real-time GPS directions, steering-wheel mounted control, and hands-free calling with Bluetooth®.
Dodge Performance Pages are available for these cars. These grant you updated driving stats, engine performance information, and details such as the exerted g-force of your vehicle.
The Charger also adds in available dual charging USB ports and auxiliary power outlets to its front, center armrest. This ought to make it easier to keep your devices charged even on longer drives.
