The Dodge Challenger has been a prominent figure in the muscle car segment, and the 2023 model continues to impress with its combination of performance and safety features. While the Challenger embodies the classic design and powerful engines reminiscent of its heritage, it also prioritizes safety to ensure an exciting drive doesn't end with unfortunate consequences.
The Dodge Challenger has maintained an exemplary safety track record, receiving accolades such as a five-star safety rating from the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 2015 model. In subsequent years, the Challenger has consistently performed well in safety tests, including the 2022 model achieving an overall safety rating of five stars, along with top scores in side crash tests. Although the specific ratings for the 2023 model are yet to be released, it's anticipated to maintain or exceed the high safety standards set by its predecessors.
In terms of active safety features, the 2023 Dodge Challenger is equipped with an advanced airbag system consisting of six airbags, including front and rear side-curtain airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, and multistage driver and front passenger airbags. Active front head restraints are also included to reduce the risk of head injuries during a collision. Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten the seatbelts upon impact, ensuring occupants are properly secured.
To help prevent collisions, the 2023 Challenger incorporates collision avoidance technology. Adaptive cruise control assists in maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, while forward collision warning with active braking provides an extra layer of protection by alerting the driver and applying brakes if necessary. The Challenger's high-strength steel frame enhances body and roof strength, contributing to overall crash protection.
Control safety systems in the Challenger include electronic stability control, all-speed traction control, hill-start assist, adaptive cruise control, and anti-lock brakes. These systems work together to maintain stability, traction, and control in various driving conditions.
The 2023 Challenger is also equipped with warning systems, such as blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-path detection. These features utilize radar sensors to detect potential hazards, providing alerts and enhancing driver awareness.
Parking is made easier with the available ParkView rear backup camera and ParkSense rear park-assist system. The ParkView camera offers a comprehensive view of the rear, while the ParkSense system provides alerts for potential obstacles, displayed on the UConnect touch screen.
