It's hard to rival powerhouses such as a 580-hp Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and a 662-hp Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. To keep up as best it can, the 2013 Dodge Challenger gets yet another round of small improvements here and there. This year, six trim levels are offered in the Challenger.
V6 engine
The base $26,995 SXT gets a 3.6L V6 with 305 hp and 268 lb-ft of torque, a 5-speed automatic transmission, 18” alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, an intelligent key system, a power driver's seat, cruise control and a telescopic steering column. The $29,370 SXT Plus adds Nappa leather upholstery, heated front seats, a sound system upgrade, and a new rear park sonar.
The Challenger Rallye Redline is new this year, adding some flair to a V6-powered model. It features wheel-mounted paddle shifters, 20” black chromed alloys, performance-tuned steering and brakes, a rear spoiler and a nose-to-tail centre stripe. It will cost $32,370.
V8 engines
The $37,320 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T and $39,315 R/T Classic are both powered by a 5.7L HEMI V8 that produces 372 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. A 5-speed automatic is standard, while a 6-speed manual transmission is optional. A Super Track Pak which includes a sport suspension, performance steering and heavy-duty brakes is also available.
The $49,470 Challenger SRT is the head honcho of the group, with its snorty 6.4L HEMI V8 that unleashes 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Like the R/T trims, you get a choice of automatic or manual gearboxes.
A three-mode adaptive suspension and an anti-spin rear differential are also included, as are suede inserts on the leather seats and a heated steering wheel. This year, the Challenger gets a new 20” alloy wheel design, while Black Vapour SRT Design 20-inchers are optional.
More available features
Other options spread across the lineup include the Uconnect 430 and 730 infotainment systems, an 18-speaker stereo, a remote starter, a power sunroof, as well as interior and exterior appearance packages. New Radar Red leather upholstery is available in all versions except the base SXT.
