2023 Dodge Charger
No other American sedan has the same combination of comfort, performance, and muscle car style as the 2023 Dodge Charger. The acceleration is quick and the brakes are reassuringly strong. Numerous major refreshes and the addition of Redeyes, Widebodies, Hellcats, and Scat Packs have managed to keep the iconic Charger engaging and relevant to muscle car enthusiasts.

The 2023 Dodge Charger conveys its NASCAR roots with large V-8 power and boisterous sounds. Nonetheless, not every Charger has a potent Hemi V-8 under the hood, but they do all share an exceptional eight-speed automatic transmission and standard rear-wheel drive. On the other hand, the V-6 is more restrained but does include the availability of all-wheel drive. The more robust variations excel at the track, where the 485 horsepower Charger R/T Scat Pack can post an impressive 3.8-second sprint to 60 miles per hour. In fact, the 370 horsepower Charger has enough ponies to outrun most family sedans. It is incredibly balanced when cornering, and the Charger also has purposeful control thanks to electrically assisted power steering.
What’s new for 2023?
At the end of 2023, the current Dodge Charger will be discontinued, but the next-generation Charger will most likely incorporate an electric powertrain with horsepower holding a position of prominence. Indeed, the 2023 Charger bears special commemorative “Last Call” plaques under the hood to indicate that this is the final model year of the current generation, and Dodge will offer popular colors from the car’s past, including B5 Blue, Plum Crazy, and Sublime Green.

Exterior Features
For 2023, the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody comes standard with lightweight carbon black 20×11-inch aluminum wheels, while the hood on said vehicle, plus the SRT Hellcat and Jailbreak, takes advantage of its aggressive design with dual heat-extractors and a functional air inlet that offer better airflow and a cooler engine. In addition, the Dodge Charger SRT iterations are intentionally styled to impress from every angle with their iconic front grille, exclusive Widebody flares, and deck lid badges. There are even fourteen available colors to choose from for a distinctive look.
Interior Features
The 2023 Charger’s interior is highly functional. For example, it has excellent rear-seat legroom, and the cabin boasts a simplistic design that is classic muscle car with an array of options. Its trunk is able to fit a total of eighteen carry-on boxes with the rear seat stowed, and the center console contains several spots for small items, including a slot beside the shifter that is ideal for storing a smartphone.
Technology
Entertainment
Each 2023 Charger is equipped with a version of the excellent Uconnect infotainment system. That means standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay information is broadcast via a 7.0-inch or 8.4-inch touchscreen unit.
Safety Features and Warranty
The 2023 Dodge Charger provides a series of driver-assistance features, including automated emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. Moreover, there is available lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring. Higher-level trims are privy to all-speed traction control, which helps the driver maintain traction and stability by applying brake pressure to spinning wheels and reducing engine power, when needed, to help the tires regain control. In terms of warranty, the limited warranty covers three years or 36,000 miles, while the powertrain warranty covers five years or 60,000 miles.
