The verdict

What's good

  • Naturally aspirated 6.4L HEMI V8 delivers the most honest muscle-car feel in the segment
  • Widebody option adds genuine stance and handling grip without a power tax
  • Final S-body production year adds collector interest that supports long-term resale
  • Brembo brakes provide track-capable stopping power rarely found at this price

What's not

  • Discontinued after 2023 — parts availability and dealer support will narrow over time
  • Handling precision trails modern import sports cars at equivalent price
  • Rear seat is cramped enough to limit it to occasional short-trip use only
  • Aging infotainment system trails the competition by several generations

The engine

HEMI 392 (Apache)

6.4L Naturally Aspirated V8

A big, lopey naturally aspirated V8 with a deep, hammering exhaust note and a fat torque curve that delivers old-school muscle-car shove right off idle.

Developed under the codename 'Apache' as the Gen III 6.4-liter HEMI, it debuted in 2011 in the Challenger SRT8 and deliberately echoes the legendary 392-cubic-inch Gen I Hemi of 1957.
