This Is How the All-New 2025 Dodge Charger Stacks Up Against the Competition

[@edmundscars]

What's your take on all the rivals to the new Charger? Let us know in the comments.

[@roguedogx]

Depends. The key is "did they nail the heart of the ride?" If they did, I'd consider it. If not, I'd never consider it.

[@deanmcmanis9398]

I'm glad that you didn't ignore the Tesla Model 3 Performance. One key point is that (for those who qualify) the base M3P qualifies for the $7,500 subsidy which brings the price down the $49K, which is nearly $20K less than the Ioniq 5N and the performance EV Charger. Interestingly, the performance Charger lines up pretty closely to the $75K Tesla Model S Long Range, which goes over 400 miles on a charge, but still manages 0-60 in 3.1 sec, and even though the Model S is a matching size, it weighs 1,000lbs less than the Charger. The Charger would be a killer EV if it came out 5-7 years ago. But the EV competition simply got better in the meantime. The EV Charger needs to lose weight and lower its price to be competitive.

[@roguedogx]

@@deanmcmanis9398 the model s goes 400 miles with an asterisk. Yes, that is the EPA rating, but other tests (such as the Edmunds range test) say that it's more like 350 miles. Edit - also, the charger is not a numbers car. That is not the point, and dodge knows it. This is a car that is meant to prove dodge can make EVs with attitude. That's the true measure of success here.

All the performance numbers and glitzy, whiz bang technology that are featured in news cars are great…but when I turn on my 2022 Mustang GT, all those advances melt away. All I hear is my V8…😊

[@dub88acc]

Never say never. Mercedes backtracked on its hybrid 4cylinder amgs because ultimately consumer didn't want a 4cylinder amg. Imagine that

[@G82Watts]

Yea I can easily see dodge going back espically since they fired their CEO. No one wants a full EV for their fun sports car.

[@kbc8090]

Say never, Stellantis is a shopping cart from here on out.

[@aaronvector4750]

Stellantis is much more snarky than Mercedes. Chances are we ain't seeing another V8 from them

[@LafemmebearMusic]

Listen you do realize that the laws the law and they aim to make air remain to be breathable, you like breathable air right? Then let the v8s go 😊 change is inevitable embrace it. Nostalgia is often misleading and overblown

[@benjaminmatute9085]

@@LafemmebearMusicShut the hell up. It ain’t just nostalgic, it’s just better. Also gas is way better for the environment than any puny electric car. Because those burnt up lithium smog that goes in the ozone stays there while gas doesn’t. And there’s no way that a literal acid that is one of the most toxic substances and chemicals in the world isn’t more dangerous than natural dinosaur juice from the earth, not to mention child slavery in those mines. Yeah buddy, you are just as stubborn as the gator i tried reasoning to.

The ioniq 5 doesn't have 709 miles man it has about 200 miles a mistake at 7:03

[@sungbaek3526]

lol i noticed that too. I wish i got 700 miles of range. But real world its actually closer to 250

[@waffles1567]

Lmao I saw this and was like this is the perfect EV it has everything

[@lavonwatson8814]

Just a suggestion, the annoying background noise doesn't help.

[@urbanstrencan]

The last proper muscle car standing V8 Mustang ❤❤. But actually really like the new Doge design, hope to see it in Europe to🤟🤟🤟

[@andrewbroadfort6856]

I'm all for an autonomous EV to chauffeur me around but when it comes to performance cars EVs can frack off. When it comes to having fun I'll stick with my 6th gen SS 1LE manual

[@LafemmebearMusic]

Frack off while saying no Ev sports car lol that was actually pretty cute 🤭😝

[@LafemmebearMusic]

I don’t think v8s are the best sounding engines. I prefer a 5, or inline 6, it’s weird how we just get told what sounds good

[@bennybop5387]

I disagree but respect your contrarian view. Certain 6s skyline, supra, Zs, sure, but nothing beats an 8.

[@RichardJones-kx6mb]

Happiness is when my neighbor pauses on the sidewalk to listen to my ‘22 Mustang GT startup. Happiness is when the young man working at grocery store looks in my car and says, “ oh cool, it’s a manual.” Liked the video though.

The v8 charger is coming back. They just haven't announced it yet. They tryna fit one in the ev charger model😌.

[@jimkirk1971]

EVs are the Impossible Burgers of the automotive world. 🤦🏻‍♂

[@guillermosolano5725]

My m3p does 0-60 2.9 seconds 😊

[@smase944]

that fake noise doesn't sound too good

[@JasonJonathan78]

Without a V8, Dodge is dead. Period.

[@darthquigley]

One thing it's got going for it is the body style. There just aren't a lot of coupes anymore. Other I6 options (Supra, BMW 4 series) cost a lot more, and there aren't any other EVs at all. Not everyone wants a crossover.

[@PresidentJackBauer]

They'll sell more on looks than performance just like the v8 ones. Harder sell without the sound and feel of a v8 though.

[@okieg8960]

You can buy it, you can enjoy it, it’s your own money. Won’t stop you from being public hazzed for having a leaf blower as a “ muscle car “ other than that do whatever you want it’s your world.

[@MrObie29]

I don't care how much you try. It's nothing like having a V8. Dodge should've stayed in they're lane. This new vehicle should've been a v8 (atleast 650-700hp), electric motor (for extra hp) and redesign from the start.

[@Link-we8so]

The hurricane seems ok. But they have lost the plot chargers, and challengers were never the fastest. Spoiler that was never the point.

[@jamesgang94591]

Stellantis is in a nose dive as it is and now they've pull the ripcord on their parachute and out comes an anvil instead. Stop with the EV high performance cars. Keep the V8's and just make them more efficient without using cylinder deactivation that everyone knows does nothing but cost $10k to fix when it breaks.

[@gbitsbitsg5447]

Yes buy it! Then hellcat swat it please😂

[@redst9364]

The range is a joke and it weighs as much as a Sherman tank these things are going to bomb big time .😮

[@Darkstar2425]

fake engine noise is stupid. Just own the fact that it's an EV. It'll never be as cool as the real thing either way. But at least without the engine noise it doesn't seem as much like a wannabe car.

[@Julianklaus]

Let those v8s go guys. Inline 6s are not bad at all..and that fratzonic exhaust is nice

[@Kmancanada]

All fake sounds, pops and crackles; all the simulated "transmissions" and shifts... are spectacularly ridiculous and need to be called out, laughed at, humiliated, derided and continuously trashed.

Model 3 performance may be quick but it looks like some chinese fish bland blob. Like yall said it is trash around track. In that price range for EVs its easily the 5N leading the pack.

[@timothygreen1206]

Tesla are BORING while the Dodge is sexy! I can’t wait to drive one

[@zsamps]

I really can't wait for this new Charger to come out. It looks amazing, and although it's an EV (Idgaf + we need more EV options), it performs FAR better than the outgoing Charger. Also, Dodge claims that it will offer performance software upgrades, so the Charger might be able to make more power than initially claimed.

[@cgpapineau]

An EV Charger is an oxymoron. The Charger customer is not an EV customer, for the most part. I think these cars sit on lots. The Hurricane may have good numbers, but it is a high strung engine that will not last long term like a normally aspirated V8. They may seel OK, but not great. If Trump gets rid of CAFE, then the Charger will have to be rethought. I suspect it will be a major flop.

[@ge4645]

Not impressed...send them to a recycling center

[@pr1stvan]

We want a naturally aspirated v8

[@adrianw3985]

Stellantis does not understand the people who buy Dodge and Jeep. It's a European shit show.

[@mikeroczkowski8545]

Ya dodge is 100% not going to allow ford and chevy to the only v8. Were talking about dodge. The king of v8s here

[@MrMgh76]

I guess you haven't heard they are delayed all the models because nobody wants them. Tim K is long gone and the CEO of Stantis is going too. I've owned 2 Hellcats and I like a lot of mopar fans have 0 interest in the new Charger. Unless drastic changes are made Dodge will go under soon.

[@BeamerTime354]

Stelantis will never see a dime of my money. My BMW suv whips on chargers all day. 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and I get such ugly looks from dodge drivers 😂

[@stevegiles9080]

[@Philmoscowitz]

turbocharged 6 cylinder? No thanks. I'd take a Mustang GT over it any day.

[@doubletee4391]

That is not a Mustang anymore. More closely resembles a 90s ford ranger.

[@SSS-mp8th]

These things are all too expensive the Ford Dark horse, the Caddys. The Charger will be no different.

[@sminem6572]

Since its pretty much a 100% guarantee at this point Dodge will go bankrupt (NOBODY is buying this car, the Hornet is selling extremely poorly, and the Grand Cherokee will cannibalize any new Durango), I wonder who will purchase Chrysler, Ram, and Jeep from Stellantis, since they’ll probably try to exit this market due to poor sales among their other brands here (Alfa Romeo and Maserati). Hopefully an American billionaire that actually intends to build the cars here and not rebadge Fiats and import them.

[@scottblaze2978]

No thanks. Now that Trump took over hopefully Dodge brings back good old fashioned gas guzzlers! I've owned all Dodge products but will not purchase an electric muscle car!

[@jtc1964x]

0-60 is not a good measure of power Post 1/4 mole times and speeds

[@evanhone9083]

This will be a total disaster for Dodge. The Mopar crowd doesn’t want a V6 and the EVs are DOA. The EVs are overpriced and will most likely lose 50 percent of their value in the first year. No one is going to buy them. It seems Dodge is so embarrassed by this lineup that they keep delaying the release.

[@gigi9467]

Is a v8 really that much more expensive to make than that shitty v6 turboed?

[@ryangabriel1451]

Being neariy 2000lb heavier than the Tesla is just inexcusable! Shows a real lack of R&D over at Dodge. Heavier, slower, more expensive, less range.....this EV charger is gonna be a complete flop
