2023 Dodge Challenger Interior and Cargo

The interior looks and feels cheap, but it is screwed together properly. Dodge dresses the interior in houndstooth cloth as standard. This even includes the top-end Super Stock, which we review separately.

On high-performance models, you get additional side bolstering to keep yourself in place. To get Nappa leather seats, you need to add the Plus Package at an additional $3,095 and the Driver Convenience Group at $1,480. These add a lot of interior kit, as well as better, higher-quality sports seats. There are three color options available: Black, Black/Ruby Red, and Black/Caramel. Adding Nappa/Alcantara to the R/T Scat Pack and Widebody requires additional packages to the value of around $7,500.

Yet another example of the Challenger's relatively spacious nature. It has a 16.2-cubic-foot trunk, which is just 0.3 cubes down from its Charger sedan sibling. That's more than enough room for the daily errands, including the school run. A new Challenger is the perfect car for a gearhead who isn't quite ready to move on to a family sedan yet. The rear seats can also be folded flat to increase luggage capacity on the odd days you need it.

Interior small-item storage is less impressive. Only front passengers get door pockets and a set of cupholders and the storage under the center armrest is small. Those are your only options. We suspect the front cupholders will likely be the default place for storing phones, keys, and sunglasses.

It's pretty apparent where Dodge spent most of the development money, and it certainly wasn't in the comfort and convenience department. Dodge gives you the basics across the range, while the nice features are restricted to the options list. Standard fare includes an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat that includes two-way lumbar, a manually tilt-and-telescoping steering column, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, cruise control, a rear parking camera, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The GT spec adds rear park assist and the R/T Scat Pack gets a deluxe security alarm.

All models up to the R/T come with a seven-inch Uconnect 4 system with Bluetooth, voice command, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and two USB ports. The R/T Scat Pack upgrades to an 8.4-inch Uconnect 4C system and adds SiriusXM and a climate-control display.

A six-speaker sound system is standard on both V6 models, and the R/T. The Scat Pack Widebody are equipped with six-speaker premium Alpine sound system with an amplifier. A nine-speaker Alpine sound system is available up to R/T level and from R/T and up, an upgraded 18-speaker Harman Kardon sound system becomes available as well. If you want the Harman Kardon sound system in a V6 model, you first have to upgrade the infotainment system to Uconnect 4C Nav.
