The Challenger is a true classic beauty! While your brother-in-law is right that the Challenger is a heavy car, it is large and roomy with excellent low-end torque. How much a Dodge Challenger
weighs all depends on the model year and the trim level. There’s a variable of more than 400 pounds between models, so it’s good to know which particular model your heart is set on and how much weight matters to you.
Here are some examples of curb weights (the weight of the car when empty of passengers or luggage) for the 2022 Challenger:
| |
---|
| 3,858 lbs (4,060 lbs for AWD) |
| 3,906 lbs (4,078 lbs for AWD) |
| |
| 4,233 lbs (4,308 lbs for Widebody) |
| 4,428 lbs (4,479 lbs for Widebody) |
| 4,443 lbs (4,494 lbs for Widebody) |
As you can see, the more elaborate the trim level, the more weight is added. You’ll need to weigh your options (literally!) to decide whether weight is more important than certain features. If you’re looking at buying a Challenger from a previous year these weights will differ somewhat.
