We'd also add the adaptive dampers for adjustable ride quality and the Dynamics package for its wide 20-inch wheels, six-piston Brembo front brakes, and leather-wrapped steering wheel. Believe it or not, we'd opt for the $1595 automatic because it's much more responsive than the slushy-feeling stick-shift. It comes standard with the 485-hp 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 (versus the 375-hp 5.7-liter on the regular R/T) and the choice of a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic.
So we'd maximize both of those attributes, selecting the R/T Scat Pack model. Pricing and Which One to Buyĭespite our preference for the V-8-powered Camaro and Mustang, there's a lot of nostalgia and value offered by the Challenger. And R/T Scat Pack buyers can now add SRT branding to their Brembo brake calipers. A set of 20-inch wheels are newly optional on the all-wheel-drive SXT and standard on the all-wheel-drive GT. Dodge now offers a memory feature for models with a power-adjustable steering column, driver's seat, and side mirrors as well as for the radio presets. The Challenger lineup receives several minor updates for 2021. Its capacious trunk, segment-exclusive all-wheel-drive option (available on V-6 models only), and roster of colorful paint options and retro-themed appearance packages also make it stand out from the Camaro and Mustang. The Challenger's interior isn't always easy to look at or see out of, but it has comfier seats and more passenger space than its rivals'. Those who desire the mightiest version will want the SRT Hellcat (reviewed separately), which makes up to 807 horsepower.
Compared with the Chevy's and the Ford's razor-sharp handling, the Dodge is better suited for relaxed cruising, with a crescendoing V-8 exhaust note always ready on command. While all three American muscle cars are headlined by high-powered V-8s, there's a big discrepancy in how they drive. History tells us the 2021 Dodge Challenger competes with the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang, but reality tells us it has a totally different personality.
