Expert 2022 Dodge Challenger review

our expert's take
Our expert's take
By Cars.com Editors

our expert's take

What Is the 2022 Dodge Challenger?

The Dodge Challenger is a two-door coupe that seats up to five people. It has a standard 303-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 engine that works with an eight-speed automatic transmission. V-6 Challengers can have rear- or all-wheel drive. 

Four V-8 engines are also available, including a 485-hp 6.4-liter and a supercharged 6.2-liter that makes 717, 797 or 807 hp, depending on the model. A six-speed manual transmission is available on select V-8-powered trims. Competitors include the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. 

What’s New on the 2022 Dodge Challenger?

There are no significant changes this year. 

What Features in the 2022 Dodge Challenger Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • Cloth upholstery
  • Power-adjustable driver’s seat
  • 7-inch touchscreen multimedia system
  • Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone connectivity
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control

Available features include:

  • Power moonroof 
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • 8.4-inch touchscreen
  • Navigation
  • Brembo brake system
  • Adaptive suspension with Bilstein shocks
  • Forward collision warning
  • Blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Automatic high-beam headlights
  • Rear parking sensors

Should I Buy the 2022 Dodge Challenger?

If you’re looking for a powerful, fast muscle car with throwback styling, the Challenger — especially in higher trims — is likely to satisfy. We recommend skipping the V-6 for one of the available V-8s, however, because the base engine just doesn’t deliver the experience this car is trying to sell.

    I absolutely LOVE this car!

    I absolutely LOVE this car! Mine is the SXT base trim with the Pentastar V6 engine, purchased used at 37,000ish miles, but it is still the best car I’ve ever owned or driven. It is extremely comfortable to sit in (I am 5’10), on par with the comfort of my dad’s old ‘87 Camaro, which was also incredibly comfortable. It’s not a cramped space to sit in and the console is a comfortable arm rest height. But family conscious buyer beware, this isn’t a family friendly car; there’s pretty much no legroom in the back of the car. Maybe if you’re short and very skinny you could fit well, but taller or heavier folks will definitely not fit in the back. I certainly struggled to fit just to pull the seat down to extend the trunk space! The headrests of the backseats are a little tall and don’t let the front seats click back up all the way unless you pull the bucket seats up really far which is a little annoying but as someone who doesn’t lug around much it’s not something I’m really frustrated with. The trunk is super spacious! It rides very smoothly on the absolute garbage roads here in Western Washington (we have some of the worst roads in the US). Still bumpy because the potholes are insane, but smoother than our my parents vehicles and my old car (2011 Kia Soul). The audio controls on the steering wheel are mounted on the back which was odd to me initially but I have quickly adapted to their placement and make use of them a ton with Apple Music. Speaking of music, the base 6 speaker audio system sounds phenomenal as it comes; loud and I can really feel the drums and bass on higher volumes which I love, though I’ll be adding a subwoofer at some point. Let the music play! The engine and transmission run and function well and shifts smoothly in both regular and sport driving mode; I love sport mode, the slight engine sound difference and touchier throttle is fun, but it does reduce fuel efficiency a bit so I don’t use it too terribly much. I do wish the car was fitted with a cat-back exhaust system so it at least has the sound of a muscle car (where’s the allure in a muscle car, particularly one that revives the classics in a modern form, that has a quiet engine?) while retaining the more dependable and fuel efficient motor. That is something I will be saving up to change out, but that’s just me; for many that doesn’t matter, but is something to note if you are an avid lover of classic muscle cars and want to enjoy its allure even if you can’t afford the higher trims with the V8s, I certainly couldn’t; but that’s okay, I still cherish this car and appreciate the reliability of the V6 as a lower income individual. One thing I really don’t like (but chose to live with as I love the car to death otherwise) is that a lot of the climate control features are “locked” behind the infotainment screen; making it a big distraction and hassle to change between max or regular air conditioning and the which fans are blowing. The only buttons for it is a dial for fan strength, an off switch, an auto button, defrosters, and the AC on/off button. The USB and aux plug ins are inside the console, which is kind of awkward, but I actually like that as it makes you put your phone in the console (unless you have a long cord, mine is coiled) which prevents it from being a distraction. There is a moderate blind spot, but it is easily corrected with *properly* angled side mirrors. All in all I love this car and couldn’t recommend it more than I do. I plan to try to make this last the rest of my life in the best shape possible. It’s Mopar or no car! 🚗

    2022 Dodge Challenger

    Just hit 10k miles. I have bought so many brand new cars in my life and this is the only car that has not had to go back to the dealer for warranty repair. So thrilled with it. Drives great, plenty of power and so responsive. Good looking too. Very comfortable in the front seat. All around a great car. Dodge has me for life!

    1972 now a 2022 a 50 year later present.!!!

    I owned a 1972 Challenger and 50 years later ordered one as a retirement present ( 2022 Chandler ScatPack Widebody with Shaker Hood). A nice ride for a muscle care, powerful with the 6.4 liter engine, a great look and highly recommend getting one if interested before this style goes away.

    2022 Scat Pack Challenger

    Your performance rating needs more stars! I've wanted a Challenger since 1970 and over the years it just never materialized. They announced the final year was mostly specialty limited editions. A friend and neighbor purchased a very nice low mileage used Challenger and he told me to drive it! He said we weren't getting any younger and its now or never and i said, xxxx right! Found a new 2022 Scat Pack in TorRed and a few hours later is was ours! I'll never be able to get the smile off my face!

    Awesome Dodge Challenger GT AWD!

    2022 Dodge Challenger GT AWD, a lot of car for the money! AWD, Killer looks, over 300HP, very comfortable front seats, upgraded Alpine stereo (which is really quite good), Nav, 20" wheels that look awesome and you have a great car for not a lot of green! I traded in a luxury BMW 7 series that was fine but expensive and am very pleased with this car. You need to take one for a drive, I got a BLK/BLK an it looks really nice! Lots of compliments.

    Total Satisfaction

    My first Challenger was a 2014 RT; my second one is a 2018 RT. I am thinking seriously about trading for a 2022 RT. I have loved both RTs; every mile has been a very satisfying experience. If I were not happily married to my sweet wife, I might just think of marrying my Challenger. FYI, both cars were 5.7 6-speeds.
