About the 2024 Dodge Challenger
With an overall Carivo score of 7.9/10, the 2024 Dodge Challenger earns a Recommended rating among the sports coupes we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Performance at 9.2/10, while Technology at 7.5/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. Reliability comes in at 7.5/10 in our assessment — above the middle of the pack for this class, though not flawless. On safety it earns 7.5/10: respectable, if not class-leading — several competitors bundle more driver-assist tech as standard. Check your trim's official ratings at nhtsa.gov.
The 9.2/10 performance score reflects a chassis and powertrain that punch above the segment norm — this is a sports coupe you choose partly for the drive itself. Technology comes in at 7.5/10 — functional and modern, with wireless connectivity and core ADAS features, though some competitors pack more standard tech at this price point.
Priced from $33,095–$80,000, 19 MPG, seating 4, the Dodge Challenger sits in the mid-market bracket of the sports coupe segment. The 8.0/10 value score is the headline: relative to what it costs, this sports coupe delivers more than most of the class. At 2 years old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Bottom line: Think of the 2024 Dodge Challenger as the dependable pick rather than the exciting one. Shoppers who value predictability over headlines will be well served.
