The Dodge Charger and Challenger have been icons in the muscle car world for decades. With their aggressive styling, powerful V8 engines, and rear-wheel drive performance, these Dodge models have a loyal following among enthusiasts in Rockingham, NC. As we look ahead to 2024, Dodge is planning some exciting changes to keep these muscle cars fresh and competitive for Laurinburg drivers, for years to come.
2024 Dodge Charger
The Dodge Charger first debuted way back in 1966, and it has seen several complete redesigns and upgrades over the years. The current generation Charger dates back to 2011 and is due for a major redesign soon. We expect the 2024 Charger to ride on an all-new platform that will shed some weight while preserving the rear-wheel drive performance that muscle car fans demand.
The exterior styling sees a dramatic evolution, with a more aggressive and sculpted front fascia, new hood and fenders, and modern lighting elements like LED headlights and taillights.
Under the hood, the 2024 Charger will continue to offer a wide range of powerful V8 engines for every level of performance through Aberdeen. The base engine is expected to be a 5.7L Hemi V8, making around 370 horsepower.
Step up to the R/T, and Scat Pack models and output climbs to around 485 horsepower from a 6.4L Hemi. For maximum performance, the Charger SRT Hellcat model will keep its supercharged 6.2L V8 pumping out an incredible 717 horsepower - enough to propel the Charger to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds!
2024 Dodge Challenger
Like the Charger, the Dodge Challenger traces its roots back to the original muscle car era of the late 1960s and early 1970s. After a long hiatus, the Challenger returned in 2008. It has seen steady improvements over the years while staying true to its retro-inspired styling theme that draws drivers to Bennettsville, SC, every year.
The 2024 Challenger will likely get a styling update to keep it looking fresh and modern, but the overall shape and proportions that evoke the original 1970 Challenger will remain. We expect just the right amount of design tweaks to make this an exciting new iteration of a Dodge icon.
Under the hood, the 2024 Challenger will share most of its powerful powertrain options with the Charger. Base models will have a 305 horsepower V6, while a 5.7L Hemi making 375 horsepower will be available for buyers looking for strong V8 performance.
From there, the R/T, R/T Scat Pack, and SRT Hellcat models will offer a range of Hemi V8s, putting out 485 to 717 horsepower for truly mind-blowing acceleration. A high-performance all-wheel drive system is added as an option to improve the Challenger's traction and acceleration off the line.
Interior and Technology Upgrades
Inside, we expect the 2024 Charger and Challenger to get significantly upgraded interiors with more premium materials, unique styling touches, and the latest high-tech infotainment features. The UConnect system will likely see major improvements, with a larger touchscreen, enhanced connectivity, smartphone integration, and new digital gauge displays.
Other exciting amenities like ventilated leather seats, carbon fiber trim, premium audio systems, and advanced safety technologies will help round out the options list.
Dodge will continue to offer a wide range of customization options through its Scat Packages, Shaker Packages, and more. With so many ways to personalize these iconic muscle cars, 2024 will be an exciting year for Dodge fans who crave stand-out style, unmatched performance, and the latest technology when they are behind the wheel.
