The Challenger excels at soaking up bumps on long highway drives and providing genuine room for four adults (although rear-seat passengers should be on the shorter side). Dodge keeps updating the Challenger with new engines, like the wild SRT Hellcat with 797 hp from a supercharged 6.2L V8 engine (2018 onward). Lower trims offer the convenience of all-wheel drive.
