2022 Dodge Challenger vs Ford Mustang Temecula CA
2022 Dodge Challenger vs Ford Mustang
Muscle cars are designed for those who have a need for speed in mind, and two of the most legendary vehicles in this category are the Dodge Challenger and the Ford Mustang. Both of these sedans obviously come with powerful engine options, but they also have supreme luxury items and tech features that are among the best on the market. While we think that either one of these vehicles would make a tremendous addition to your driveway, there is one that has a significant advantage over the other. To find out which one our team thinks you should be driving home, continue reading our comparison below!
2022 Dodge Challenger Power & Handling
There are several engine options available for the 2022 Challenger, and each one is more powerful than the last. The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 with 303 horsepower and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel-drive comes standard, but you have the option for all-wheel-drive on the SXT, and GT trims. When you reach the R/T trim, you get the first of the V8 engine options. With this trim, you get a 5.7-liter V8 that pumps out 372 horsepower with the eight-speed automatic transmission or 375 horsepower with a six-speed manual transmission. Up next is the Scat Pack, which has a standard 6.4-liter V8 that pumps out 485 horsepower, and finally, the Hellcats, which come with a turbocharged 6.4-liter V8 getting you 717 horsepower which can be upped to 797 horsepower or a spine-tingling 807 horsepower with the SRT Super Stock!
2022 Ford Mustang Power & Handling
The Ford Mustang responds to what the Challenger offers with several engine options that are pretty powerful. The base engine is a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that pumps out 310 or 322 horsepower with a high-performance package and 350 lb-ft of torque. The V8 options start with the GT trim, which has a 5.0-liter V8 that pumps out 450 horsepower or 470 horsepower on the Mach 1 trim. The final engine is available for the GT500, and it's a decent supercharged 5.2-liter V8 delivering 760 horsepower and 625 lb-ft of torque. Most trims will give you the option of either a manual or automatic transmission. There is a lot to love about these engines, but the Challenger is more powerful!
2022 Dodge Challenger Features & Design
Even at the base trim level, the Dodge Challenger is well-equipped with tons of luxury and tech equipment. The base trim is the SXT which comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, sport-tuned suspension, keyless entry/ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, cloth upholstery with a cool houndstooth pattern, 6-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and leather-wrapped steering wheel. As for tech, the SXT has a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, voice control, Bluetooth, a six-speaker audio system, and forward-collision warning. If you decide on one of the higher trims, the Challenger ups the ante with Brembo brakes, limited-slip differentials, active exhaust systems, launch control, Widebody packages, larger alloy wheels, configurable driving modes, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, an adaptive suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. There is nothing the Challenger can't do!
2022 Ford Mustang Features & Design
With the Ford Mustang, you get some interesting features available on each of its trim levels. On the base trim, you get features such as s 17-inch alloy wheels, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry/ignition, remote start/lock/unlock, LED headlights, LED taillights, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a self-dimming rearview mirror. Higher trims add more luxury and tech items to the mix, such as an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration, satellite radio, and voice-controlled navigation. If you with the GT Premium, you'll get puddle lamps, a garage door opener, and real leather seating surfaces. If you want more performance features, you will have to get something like the Mach 1, which has adaptive dampers, Brembo brakes, sport exhaust, Torsen differential, model-specific aerodynamic additions, and a 12-inch driver information display. These features are fine, but the Challenger is more advanced.
Conclusion:
While you can't go wrong with either one of these vehicles, we think that the Challenger is the superior muscle car. The Challengers engines are more powerful, and they will give you more impressive features than the Mustang. Are you interested in taking a test drive of the Challenger?
