The reviews are in, and let’s just say the 2025 Dodge Challenger is an absolute beast. Dodge has pulled off something special—keeping that raw muscle car heritage alive while injecting just enough innovation to make enthusiasts and modern drivers take notice. So, what are reviewers saying?
Classic Muscle, Modern Innovation
Dodge isn’t here to play it safe. The 2025 Challenger stays true to its roots with that wide stance, sculpted hood, and unmistakable retro-inspired design. But look closer, and you’ll spot subtle aerodynamic updates that sharpen its road presence. Reviewers love that it still demands attention with its aggressive LED lighting and menacing front grille. Under the hood? Powertrain options that cater to every kind of speed junkie.
- The legendary HEMI® V8 is back, roaring louder than ever.
- Dodge is also introducing a hybrid-assisted powertrain, giving muscle car fans a glimpse into the future—without sacrificing an ounce of performance.
- And of course, for drivers who live for maximumpower, the Hellcat and Redeye variants push horsepower figures into the stratosphere.
Power That Leaves the Competition in the Dust
Let’s talk horsepower. Because that’s why we’re here, right? Reviewers are seriously impressed by the engine lineup for 2025. Dodge has something for everyone, from a strong and reliable V6 to an earth-shaking, drag-strip-dominating Demon 170.
- Base Model (3.6L V6) – 305 hp
- R/T (5.7L HEMI® V8) – 375 hp
- Scat Pack (6.4L HEMI® V8) – 485 hp
- SRT Hellcat (6.2L Supercharged HEMI® V8) – 717 hp
- SRT Hellcat Redeye – 797 hp
- SRT Demon 170 – 1,025 hp
Reviewers call the SRT Demon 170 “a track weapon” and note that its zero-to-sixty time is nothing short of insane. And for those who want more control over that monstrous power? The 2025 Challenger still offers a six-speed manual transmission alongside the 8-speed automatic. Purists, rejoice.
A Design That Commands Attention
The 2025 Dodge Challenger keeps the characteristic wide, aggressive stance but adds refinements that give it an even more modern edge.
- New color options like Hell Raisin Purple and Cinnamon Stick ensure you’ll stand out wherever you go.
- Wider tireson the performance models enhance grip and stability, which reviewers say makes a huge difference at high speeds.
- Functional hood scoops, rear spoilers, and aerodynamic tweaks help keep the Challenger planted to the pavement when unleashing its full power.
Inside, the 2025 Challenger offers a perfect mix of classic muscle car vibes and modern comfort. High-quality materials, customizable upholstery, and performance seats with extra bolstering make it a true driver’s car.
Reviewers also call out Dodge’s infotainment system as one of the best in the business. With a 7-inch touchscreen standard and an 8.4-inch upgrade on higher trims, you’ll have Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and optional navigation at your fingertips.
