How much is the 2023 electric Charger?

Oct 27, 2022 at 6:14pm ET

This is the last year for the Dodge Charger and Challenger as we know them. Dodge is discontinuing the two long-running models as the automaker prepares for an electrified future. But before that arrives, the final models have to find homes, and Dodge is making it easier than ever to find the one you want with its new Horsepower Locator tool that does more than inform you of your nearest dealer. Oh, and the order books are open now.

You can find the locator online at DodgeGarage.com. Prospective buyers can search for their desired Dodge down to the model and trim level, even including the special-edition cars, and this is possible because Dodge has already allocated nearly all 2023 Charger and Challenger models to dealers. Dodge will update the locator daily, Monday through Friday, for the next few months of ordering. The locator will update with the available vehicle allocation as orders are processed.

B5 blue, Plum Crazy purple, Sublime green, and Destroyer Grey all return, with Dodge offering 14 exterior colors. Every 2023 model receives a commemorative underhood plaque.

The times, they are a-changin'.

The 2023 model year marks the final bow of Dodge's pair of old-school muscle cars. These two have felt dated for some time now, but we're still sad to see them go. Oh, and call it sacrilegious, but we're properly excited for the badass EV future previewed by the Dodge Charger Daytona SRT concept.

This is everything that changes with the Challenger and Charger for 2023, plus a sneak peek at what's to come.

2023 Dodge Challenger: What’s New

Dodge is leaning into its history with the end of the Challenger line. New 345 badges adorn the front fender of R/T models with the 5.7-liter (345-cubic-inch) V-8, and 2023 marks the return of three exterior colors from Dodge's past: B5 Blue, Plum Crazy, and Sublime Green. A modern paint option, Destroyer Grey, rejoins the fold. All 2023 Challengers feature an aluminum Last Call badge under the hood, and as a final model year treat, Dodge has expanded its Jailbreak customization options to standard Challenger Hellcats, in addition to last year's Hellcat Redeye customization.

Stealing the headline, though, there will be a handful of heritage-inspired special-edition models revealed in the coming months. Expect callback names such as Swinger, Super Bee, and ACR. (The one pictured here is called Shakedown.) The final variant will be revealed at the SEMA Show in November 2022, rumored to be an E85-fueled monster more powerful than the Dodge Demon.

2023 Dodge Challenger Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Broad-shouldered retro styling
  • Strong V-8 engines
  • Spacious, comfortable cabin

Cons

  • Limited modern safety features
  • Less athletic than Mustang or Camaro
  • Unquenchable V-8 thirst

2023 Dodge Charger: What’s New

The story is similar for Dodge's large four-door, the Charger. Dodge will reveal a few special editions over the coming months—between the Charger and Challenger there will be seven total—and the Charger is getting the same 345 and Last Call badges as its two-door sibling. Those four colors are returning to the Charger lineup, too, plus Jailbreak customization for both standard Hellcats and Redeyes. We'll be sad to see this one go.

2023 Dodge Charger Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Irresponsibly powerful V-8 engine options
  • Brash, bold styling
  • Intuitive infotainment

Cons

  • Worrying safety scores
  • Absent standard safety tech
  • AWD only offered with V-6

The Dodge Charger Daytona SRT Concept

This is the vision of what's to come for Dodge performance, an all-electric Charger Daytona SRT concept. Here's what we know: It'll be the first electric vehicle to feature an exhaust system (which Dodge says is as loud as a Hellcat), there will be base 400-volt and range-topping 800-volt Banshee electric powertrains, and if the production car looks anything like the concept, it'll retain the muscle car swagger that contributed to the success of the Charger and Challenger. That pair as we know it will soon be gone, but Dodge isn't going anywhere.

With 303-horsepower and optional all-wheel drive, this powertrain is about as practical as you'll get with Dodge's in-your-face muscle car. Sitting in the middle of the 2023 Challenger lineup, the R/T and R/T Scat Pack are priced at approximately $38,000 and $44,000, respectively.

Are they making Dodge Charger 2023?
