2023 Dodge Charger: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2023 Dodge Charger was the addition of the 717-hp SRT Hellcat Jailbreak Widebody, extending the Jailbreak treatment beyond the Redeye. Otherwise, this was a light final-year update for the outgoing four-door generation.
About the 2023 Dodge Charger
7th generation (2011-2023), final model year
Dodge positioned the Charger as a spacious four-door muscle car: family-sedan seating and trunk space paired with rear-wheel-drive proportions, available V8 power, and unusually high-performance versions. V6 models added everyday usability and all-weather AWD configurations, while R/T, Scat Pack, and Hellcat models emphasized traditional American V8 sound and acceleration. Its core distinction was delivering muscle-car character in a practical five-passenger sedan.
The 2023 lineup stretched from the daily-use SXT and sporty GT, both with a 3.6-liter V6, to the 370-hp R/T and 485-hp Scat Pack V8 models. Widebody Scat Pack versions added larger brakes and adjustable suspension, while the supercharged Hellcats produced 717 to 807 hp. Depending on trim, notable features included Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated and ventilated seats, launch control, and configurable performance settings.
