The last run of the 2023 Dodge Charger four-door sedan muscle car comes with a run-up in prices, especially with the limited-run Last Call models, according to a Dodge pricing announcement on Wednesday. The two extra doors and roomier rear seat of the Charger result in prices that are about $2,000-$3,000 more than the 2023 Dodge Challenger.
The base 2023 Dodge Charger SXT costs $34,240, including a $1,595 destination fee. That’s $1,295 more expensive than the 2022 Dodge Charger. Changes to the Charger are limited to a broadened spectrum of 14 exterior paint choices, including the return of modern classics such as Plum Crazy purple, Sublime green, B5 Blue, and Destroyer Grey.
The SXT and $36,940 GT models employ the same 3.6-liter V-6 as the Challenger, but its tuned to 292 hp for the SXT and up to 300 hp in the GT. They come with an 8-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels, but all-wheel drive costs $3,600 on SXT models and is $3,000 on the GT.
To snare one of the last American V-8s, opt for the 2023 Charger R/T and its 370-hp 5.7-liter V-8 for $43,980. For more power and an additional $6,360, the R/T Scat Pack has a 485-hp 6.4-liter V-8 and it can be supersized into widebody form. Both R/T models come with an 8-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive only.
The R/T badge will live on in the 2023 Dodge Hornet, a small crossover than can be had as a plug-in hybrid.
The 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Jailbreak Widebody has a 717-hp 6.2-liter supercharged V-8. It costs $79,935, and the Jailbreak package frees up ordering restrictions and breaks out unique color combos. The $88,535 SRT Redeye Jailbreak Widebody has a high-output 6.2-liter that makes 797 hp.
The big news for the final year of the V-8-powered classic are seven Last Call models split between the Challenger and Charger. Six of the seven limited-run models have been revealed and priced, but the debut of the seventh model has been postponed. All of the limited-run models come pre-configured with special allocations at the 500 top performing dealers in North America.
A Last Call Horsepower Locator at DodgeGarage.com shows in real time which dealers have what models. Customers can search by ZIP code, trim, and Last Call models, then try to make a deal before that dealer’s allotment is sold out. Markups and bidding wars could define the Last Call run.
