Both the coupe and the sedan body styles are classic American silhouettes and you can see them both displayed dynamically in the new Dodge Charger and the Dodge Challenger. The Charger is a four-door sedan and the Challenger is a two-door coupe so that's the key visual differentiator. These are two of the most respected American muscle cars and both can give you an incredibly high level of performance. If you're considering these two outstanding new vehicles, here's a comparison to help you decide which model to get at Swanty’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Bullhead City, AZ.
A comparison of interior space
Both the Dodge Charger sedan and the Dodge Challenger coupe provide a substantial amount of room inside the cabin. However, the four-door Dodge Charger sedan give you even more interior space than the Challenger coupe. That's one reason why the Dodge Charger sedan can be more appealing for some Kingman and Lake Havasu City buyers than the Challenger coupe. Extra space is inherent in the sedan body style but the Challenger’s coupe silhouette has a sleek exterior that provides its own unique visual appeal.
A comparison of aerodynamics
The Dodge Challenger’s coupe body style comes with an aggressive sloped stance that increases the aerodynamics and allows the coupe to cut through wind resistance more easily. In addition, the Challenger’s coupe silhouette helps it turn and maneuver well which gives you more responsive handling than the Charger’s sedan body style. On the other hand, the Dodge Charger’s sedan body style has better aerodynamics than an SUV so it can slice through the air very effectively.
A comparison of performance
It's important to note that both the Dodge Charger sedan and the Dodge Challenger coupe models have exceptional performance, regardless of body style. Both the Charger sedan and the Challenger coupe give you a high level of torque at 707 pound-feet but the Challenger provides a little more momentum with 807 horsepower while the Dodge Charger comes close at 797 horsepower. Both vehicles give you a choice of rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive along with precision handling around corners. In addition, both muscle cars offer Hill Start Assist, Electronic Stability Control and All-Speed Traction Control.
A comparison of engine options
Both the Dodge Charger sedan and the Dodge Challenger coupe offer several great engines including a 6.2-liter HEMI® high-output SRT V8 and a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. In addition, both Dodge vehicles offer a 392 HEMI® V8 so the fundamental engine specifications are virtually identical. The only small difference is that the Dodge Challenger coupe offers a little greater low-end torque at 268 pound-feet vs. the Dodge Charger sedan at 260 pound-feet.
A comparison of exterior features
