By 2017, the Challenger had solidified its position as the muscle-car alternative to the Camaro and Mustang, offering buyers a more retro-futuristic design language. The lineup stretched across five trim levels, anchored by a 305-horsepower V8 base engine and crowned by the 485-hp Hemi variant that delivered genuine performance credentials.
