Why is Dodge Discontinuing the Charger and Challenger Lineups?
2023 is the final year for production of the legendary Dodge Charger and Challenger models, marking an end to both the America muscle car icons. Since being reintroduced over a decade ago, both the Charger and Challenger have gained popularity among a wide range of drivers thanks to their bold style and strong performances. After 2023, Dodge is switching its focus to producing electric vehicles, which means that we will likely see the Charger and Challenger models again, but not in their current form At Stinnett Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we have a selection of current Dodge Charger and Challenger models for sale and invite you to come take advantage of impressive financing and lease options on the iconic vehicles today.
What Are the Reasons for Discontinuing the Dodge Challenger and Charger?
The main reason for the Dodge Charger and Challenger models to be discontinued is the company is shifting to the electric vehicle market. The parent company of Dodge, Stellantis, has made a large $99 million investment in manufacturing plants in America and Canada for electric engines and batteries, which means that more and more vehicles will become electric in coming years.
What're the Advantages of Electric Vehicles?
Easy and Affordable to Charge
Switching to an electric vehicle from a gasoline powered vehicle has many advantages, including being a more affordable alternative for drivers around Newport, TN. With rising fuel costs, driving an electric vehicle lets you recharge your battery at home or on the go and maintain an impressive charge range and impressive horsepower and torque in many models.
More Horsepower and Torque
Many vehicles that are available with either a gasoline powered or electric powered engine produce more horsepower and torque in the electric models, providing you with a more exciting and athletic performance wherever you go. That means that when we do see the Charger and Challenger models return in electric form, we could also see increased output from both, providing you with everything you love about either vehicle in an electric model that's more affordable to drive and achieves an enhanced performance compared to the outgoing models.
Are the Dodge Charger and Challenger Models Returning?
While there are no clear and concrete plans available for the future of the Dodge Challenger and Charger lineups, we do know a few things. Recently, Dodge posted a picture to their social media accounts, giving us a glimpse of what the upcoming Dodge Charger and Challenger models may soon look like.
According to the picture, the upcoming concept vehicles will retain their muscle car styling, featuring a wide body, sleek styling, and sharp body lines that help you stand out on any trip to Sevierville. In the picture we have, the hood scoop is absent, and the front end has a more modern design, featuring a thin strip of LED lights that stretch the entire front of the vehicle and a unique new emblem. We've also gotten a slight look into what be in plans for Dodge in the future with the preview of the Daytona SRT concept vehicle, which offered standard all-wheel drive and an electric engine that achieves impressive horsepower and torque.
