2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock Safety and Reliability

There is no dedicated safety review for the Challenger SRT Super Stock, but the NHTSA gave the Challenger range, as a whole, a full five stars for safety. It received five stars for the side impact and four stars for the frontal crash and rollover tests. The IIHS's test is less rosy as the Challenger scored a Good rating in the moderate overlap front and side crash tests, but returned a Marginal score for the small overlap front crash on the driver's side. Roof strength, head restraints, and seats were evaluated as being Acceptable rather than Good.

Dodge is starting to fall a generation behind in this category. As standard, the Super Stock has six airbags, ABS, stability control, hill-start assist, tire pressure monitoring, rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera. A few additional safety features are hidden behind a paywall - the $695 Technology Group package adds adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers, and forward-collision warning, but also requires the Plus package. The $1,295 Driver Convenience Group package contains HID headlights, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.

The Challenger has remained recall-free for 2023 so far. The 2022 models were recalled twice for inoperative TPMS sensors. The coupe appears to offer an enjoyable ownership experience; for 2022, the Challenger received 85 out of a possible 100 points in the overall JD Power ownership survey, and an excellent 88/100 for Quality & Reliability. That's an above-average rating in the automotive world.

Dodge covers the Challenger with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
