The 2022 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody is highly praised for blending nostalgic, aggressive muscle car styling with modern performance and daily-driver comfort. Featuring a 485-hp 6.4L V8, it offers exceptional straight-line speed, improved handling over standard models via wider tires, and a spacious, tech-forward interior.
MotorTrend saidDodge only builds three vehicles at this point, one of them being the big, burly Challenger two-door. Retro styling makes it one of the better-looking vehicles on sale, especially with the enormous tires and fender flares that come with the Challenger Widebody. Dodge introduced the Challenger way back in 2008 and gave the muscle car a major refresh for 2015 changes for 2022 are limited to a new alarm system. The Challenger competes with other American performance coupes like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro as well as foreign competitors like the Nissan Z. The Challenger excels as a big-bodied old-school muscle coupe with a distinctly different attitude than its cross-town competitors from Ford and Chevrolet. This is a larger, heavier car than a Mustang or Camaro, but that pays off with an enormous trunk and reasonable passenger space. Our pick would be the Challenger RT Scat Pack. Muscle cars like the Challenger are best with V-8s, and the Scat Packs 485-hp V-8 feels like the sweet spot of this engine lineup. It will happily break traction any time you get eager with the throttle, and to our ears, it sounds better than the more powerful Hellcat engines.
