How much does a Challenger weigh lbs?
Answer: The Dodge Challenger’s curb weight varies by trim and options, but you can expect roughly 3,800 to 4,600 pounds across the lineup, with heavier variants like the Hellcat models reaching toward the upper end.
What determines the weight
The numbers reported here reflect the modern Challenger lineup (2015–2023). Dodge ended production after the 2023 model year, so there are no new Challengers beyond that generation. Weights for individual cars can still vary based on year, trim, transmission, and optional equipment. For an exact figure, check the specific model year’s brochure or the vehicle’s door jamb sticker.
Typical curb weights by trim
Below are general ranges for common Challenger trims in the modern generation. Real-world weights can vary by year and options.
- 3.6L V6 (SXT/GT): roughly 3,800–3,900 pounds
- 5.7L Hemi V8 (R/T): roughly 4,000–4,100 pounds
- 6.4L Hemi (Scat Pack): roughly 4,100–4,200 pounds
- 6.2L Supercharged (Hellcat): roughly 4,400–4,600 pounds
- 6.2L Supercharged (Hellcat Redeye/Widebody variants): roughly 4,600–4,700 pounds
These figures illustrate how engine choice and equipment affect the Challenger’s weight. For precise numbers, consult the exact model year’s official specs or the window sticker.
Summary
The Dodge Challenger sits in the mid-to-high range for modern muscle cars when it comes to weight. Depending on trim, you’re looking at a curb weight from about 3,800 pounds at the light end to roughly 4,700 pounds for the top-tier Hellcat and widebody configurations. For an exact weight on a specific car, refer to its official spec sheet or door sticker from the manufacturer.
