byChristian Wardlaw, Correspondent^{Correspondent
Christian Wardlaw, Correspondent is an automotive journalist at Edmunds.}

Pros

Classic American muscle car persona with available V8 power

Many trim levels and options allow for customization
Pretty comfortable ride compared to its muscle car rivals

Cons

Large and heavy with cumbersome handling
Rear visibility is somewhat compromised
Unlike main rivals, it's not available as a convertible

What's new

New Jailbreak package for the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody
Part of the third Challenger generation introduced for 2008

Dodge's big muscle car is a hoot to drive, even if it doesn't feel quite as sharp as the Chevrolet Camaro or Ford Mustang. Of the three, the 2022 Challenger is the most old-school, which makes sense since the design dates to 2008, which itself recalls the Challengers from the early 1970s. This is a big, heavy coupe that feels big and heavy from behind the wheel.

Thankfully, there's a diverse selection of available V8 engines that are more than capable of imparting this big coupe with rapid straight-line velocity. Or just big smoky burnouts if that's more your thing. The Challenger comes with a standard V6, but it's the SRT and supercharged Hellcat engines that will blast you down the local drag strip with joyful abandon.

The Challenger isn't all about brute force. The ride is quite comfortable, even when you opt for models with a sportier suspension setup. Most of today's advanced driving aids are also available thanks to regular updates over the years. Overall, we're fond of the Challenger, however dated it may be. For more of what we think of the 2022 Challenger, be sure to read our in-depth Expert Rating below.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

7.8 /10

The Challenger concedes points to rivals when it comes to interior refinement and sporty driving dynamics. But drivers who value comfort and utility will likely prefer the Dodge.

Rated for you by America’s best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Challenger drive? The Challenger is always a hoot to drive. With the 6.4-liter V8, power is readily available in any gear at almost any speed. We tested the R/T Scat Pack Widebody with the manual transmission. Zero to 60 mph took just 4.9 seconds at the Edmunds test track. It's properly quick but slower than other modern muscle cars by a few tenths. Braking is strong. Our test Challenger stopped from 60 mph in 105 feet, a short distance for such a big vehicle.

The Dodge's beefy size makes in-town maneuvering a bit tough, but it's a champ out on the open road. The Challenger is pretty capable on curvy roads too. Well, as long as you don't try driving it like a nimble sports car. Its mass and weight become readily apparent if you try to drive quickly through tight turns.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Challenger? Our tester, with the Widebody package, had a stiffer adaptive suspension than even the standard R/T Scat Pack, but it didn't ruin the ride. Highway ride quality is very good, and seat comfort is near the top of the class. A relatively quiet cabin helps make this a nice place to be for long rides.

Dual-zone climate control is standard on the R/T and it maintains the desired cabin temp well. The climate is controlled via the touchscreen or knobs and buttons directly behind the shifter. Our test car had the optional heated and ventilated front seats. The seat heating works well, but the ventilation could be more effective.

Build & price

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? The Challenger is a king among the muscle coupes in passenger and cargo space. It's far more practical than its crosstown competition and has the roomiest cabin in the segment. The rear seat isn't quite fit for all sizes, but it's far bigger than competitors' back seats and offers three seats versus two.

Outward visibility is generally poor, but that's typical for the segment. The blind spots over both shoulders are significant, and the windshield pillars obstruct forward sightlines more than average. A large-display rearview camera and blind-spot monitoring help considerably, but the camera quality is low.

Technology

8.0/10

How’s the tech? This is one of the best plug-and-play systems out there. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto accompany the Challenger's already user-friendly Uconnect system. It's very easy to use with multiple solutions for the same commands. But the interface looks a bit dated compared to those in the rest of the class.

The voice controls use an easy-to-learn structure and accept basic commands for the audio, navigation and hands-free calling. Connecting your smartphone makes things even more familiar. The Driver Convenience package adds blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. They worked well during our test without false alerts.

Storage

8.0/10

How’s the storage? Big American coupes aren't exactly perfect examples of utility, but the Challenger leads the class easily in this category. The trunk opening is large, and its capacity blows the class away with a midsize-sedan-like 16.2 cubic feet of cargo space. The rear seatbacks fold in a 60/40 split for extra utility.

There's decent small-item storage throughout the cabin, but the cupholders are right behind the gearshift, which is somewhat problematic with a manual transmission. The door pockets are small, with small bottle holders up front. In coupes this size, space is at a premium, but the Challenger uses what it has relatively well.

Fuel Economy

5.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? EPA-estimated fuel economy for the 6.4-liter V8 is 17 mpg combined. That's one of the lowest ratings in the segment, even before you add the Widebody package. The wide tires add rolling resistance as well, making real-world fuel economy even lower. In our testing, we struggled to even meet the EPA's city estimate of 14 mpg.

Value

7.0/10

Is the Challenger a good value? The Challenger offers decent equipment for the money. The 6.4-liter engine is appropriately priced against other V8 upgrades in the class. The Widebody package adds big bucks to the price tag, but the resulting wheel, tire and suspension upgrades — not to mention the enhanced visual swagger — make it worth it.

The Challenger's interior build quality is solid, but the quality of the materials becomes less appealing the higher you go up the trim ladder. By the time you're into Hellcat territory, it'll be obvious that you're paying for a big motor, not an exquisite interior design.

Wildcard

9.0/10

The Challenger, especially with the Widebody package, is an American muscle car with a heaping helping of personality. It'll put a massive smile on your face every time you drive it. It's also surprising how well the car's styling has aged considering that the car has been around for more than a decade without a full redesign.

Which Challenger does Edmunds recommend?

There is no shortage of choice in the 2022 Dodge Challenger lineup. Unless you need all-wheel drive for winter driving, our recommendation is the R/T Scat Pack for its blend of classic muscle car styling, broad range of options, and 485-horsepower V8 engine.

Dodge Challenger models

Dodge sells the 2022 Challenger in five main trim levels: SXT, GT, R/T, R/T Scat Pack and SRT Hellcat. But within those trims you have numerous choices to make. For example, all-wheel drive is available on the SXT and GT trims, while the R/T Scat Pack and the SRT Hellcats are available in a wide-body configuration.

The SRT Super Stock takes the street-legal drag racer theme even further with:

Further upgraded 6.2-liter V8 engine (807 hp, 707 lb-ft)
18-inch wheels
Nitto street-legal drag racing tires
Brakes from the R/T Scat Pack
Wide-body styling
Exterior and interior SRT Super Stock badges

A Widebody package is available for the R/T Scat Pack and Hellcat models. It adds:

Wider wheels and tires
Fender flares
Widebody-specific suspension (with adaptive damping on R/T Scat Pack)
Larger six-piston Brembo brakes (R/T Scat Pack)

The new Jailbreak package can be specified for the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody. It includes the 807-hp engine and unique exterior and interior badging and visual upgrades.

After choosing the Challenger that meets your budget requirements and performance expectations, you can customize the car through an array of options and packages. Besides many performance, exterior appearance and interior trim packages, the highlights include:

Technology Group (adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning)
Driver Convenience Group (blind-spot monitoring, among other features)
Cold Weather Group (heated seats and steering wheel)
Plus package (more convenience, performance and tech features for the lower trim levels)
Leather upholstery
Ventilated front seats

Amazing V8 Hemi power! Fire her up, hear the throaty stock exhaust, adjust your seat and wheel...put her in D....told on! The power pushes you into your seat like a cradled baby. The steering is tight, reacts like nothing I've ever driven. You cannot help but open her up on a straight road. I haven't even used Sport mide yet...not sure I will need to. This car hugs the road, is

Fun Cars Under $40K | Dodge Challenger, Mazda Miata, Chevy Camaro, Ford Mustang & More

MARK TAKAHASHI: Cars mean a lot of different things to different people. Personally, I prioritize fun over all else. But I also spend like a drunken sailor, so I can't really afford something like a C8 Corvette, or my dream car, a Mercedes AMG GT. My budget is closer to the average transaction price of 40 grand. So where does that leave me? Well hope is on the horizon because there's more fun choices under 40K than you think. But before that, hit Like and Subscribe below, and head over to edmunds.com/sellmycar to get some cash so you can afford some of these bad boys. Pony cars are pretty beefy these days. You get a lot of bang for your buck when it comes to horsepower. Seriously, guys? If you ask me though, it ain't a muscle car unless it has a V8. The Chevrolet Camaro SS is most certainly fun, and comes in just shy of our $40,000 limit. For the money, you get a 455 horsepower 6.2 liter V8, a six speed manual, sharp handling, and impressive acceleration. What you don't get is decent outward visibility. Seriously, it's like looking through a mail slot. Now if you want the same thrills, but want to see where you're going, you should check out my favorite, Ford Mustang GT. It's a bit less expensive, too, which means you can even opt in the automatic transmission and stay under the $40,000 limit, unlike the Camaro. But seriously, you should learn to drive stick if you're going this route. The Dodge Challenger RT, by comparison, is an elegant muscle car for a more civilized age. It's bigger and more comfortable, but it also makes less power than the Camaro or Mustang, and doesn't handle as sharply either. [CAR ENGINE RUMBLING] Like the Mustang, you can add the automatic transmission and stay under budget. And in this case, yeah, it kind of makes sense. Oh, and if you want the convenience of four doors, the Charger is essentially the same car. See? So you can have a family and still have fun. If you're looking for something more new school than muscle car, we've got the latest batch of hot hatchbacks. Considering that these have the potential for much better fuel economy, they could even be better bets for those on a budget. The Volkswagen GTI is all new for 2022, and is our current favorite. With 241 horsepower, zippy handling, and plenty of space for people and cargo, it's easy to see why. Now, we're not too hot on the new infotainment interface. And it's not quite as powerful as the next hatches on the list, but there is the Golf R that has more power and all wheel drive. But, it's disqualified for price. The Honda Civic Type R is another great choice, but you better try and get one now. The Civic has been redesigned for 2022, and the new Type R is still a ways out. There are a handful of last Gen Type Rs out there, somewhere? It may look a little goofy, but the 306 horsepower output is a pretty solid apology. The Hyundai Veloster N is a little more funky than goofy looking, and it should be a hell of a lot easier to find one for sale than the Civic. With 275 horsepower, it's not as punchy as the Honda. And the ride can be downright punishing at times. But for five grand less, you've got to expect some compromises somewhere, right? And we have reviews and comparisons of all of these hatchbacks so you can see videos of those here, or here, or maybe here. By the way, if you're selling a Type R, hit me up in the comments below. Now to our section about coupes, known to pedants and our friends across the pond as coupés. I can do this all day. And now, for the poster child. For motoring fun, the Mazda MX5 Miata. This pint size little drop top is just ridiculously fun to toss into corners, or go cruising, or just blast down the highway. It kind of does everything really well. As the only convertible on the list, the Miata is one of the purest cars out there. Now, the specs and performance numbers may not be all that impressive, but I guarantee you, once you get in a Miata, it is the best way to inject dopamine straight into your noggin. What's better, even in the top trim, it comes in under $40,000. For around the same money as the Miata, you can also get the redesigned 2022 Subaru BRZ, or its sister from another Mr., the Toyota GR 86. They're also on the weak side, but still potent enough to have some fun with. If I were to make one suggestion, it'd be to use the cheapest tires you could find because it's one of the easiest and funnest cars to drift at low speeds, not that we suggest that you actually drift though. Wink. Remember to drift responsibly, though, closed course, professional driving, all that stuff. There are some honorable mentions to add, too. We've finally got a new Nissan Z on the way, and we're expecting it to start right in the 40 grand neighborhood. There's also a redesigned Subaru WRXTI over the horizon. And for less patient shoppers, the Mini John Cooper Works hardtop two door, and larger Kia Stinger, are worthy of consideration. So there you have it. Maybe this wasn't the fun under 40 video you searched for-- don't want to know-- but, you can indeed have fun under 40 grand. Do you agree with my list? Are there any you think that deserve to be included that weren't on this list? Well, I don't care what you think. This is my video. I kid. Let us know in the comments below, in your usual civilized tone. Thanks for watching. And don't forget to hit Like and Subscribe, and head over to edmunds.com for the latest news, reviews, and information on any of these vehicles. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Dodge Challenger vs. the competition

2022 Dodge Challenger

2022 Chevrolet Camaro

Dodge Challenger vs. Chevrolet Camaro

If you like the idea of owning a classic American muscle car but you want the razor-sharp athleticism of a German sport coupe or convertible, the Chevrolet Camaro can serve you well. The Camaro is smaller and a lot more nimble than the Dodge Challenger. Unfortunately, the Camaro's outward visibility is even worse than the Challenger's, and its back seat and trunk are much smaller than what the Challenger offers.

Compare Dodge Challenger & Chevrolet Camaro features

Dodge Challenger vs. Dodge Charger

Equipped with four doors and a longer wheelbase, the Dodge Charger sedan is closely related to the Challenger coupe. They share a platform and roster of powertrains, and there is plenty of overlap with regard to trim levels and equipment. The Dodge Charger is perfect for you if you love the Challenger but need more practicality.

Compare Dodge Challenger & Dodge Charger features

Dodge Challenger vs. Ford Mustang

As the 1960s drew to a close, both the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger were responses to the overwhelming success of the Ford Mustang. Neither of the pony car's rivals remained in continuous production since their debut, unlike the Mustang — a testament to its everlasting popularity. Available in coupe and convertible body styles, today's Mustang offers plenty of retro-themed style combined with grin-inducing performance. But it can't match the Challenger for family-friendly practicality.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 Dodge Challenger?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
