2019 Ford Mustang vs 2019 Dodge Challenger
Serving Richardson, TX
This is a muscle car match-up to end all match-ups. Putting the 2019 Mustang against the 2019 Challenger might seem a bit unfair, given the Mustang's legendary and rich historical significance. Still, the Challenger is a worthy challenger, fittingly enough. Both sports/muscle cars receive significant updates in 2019, although to call either one a complete re-design wouldn't be fair. Mustang is greatly refining its 2019 edition in a way that gives it an edge all the way around. Let's see how both of these legendary cars stack up against each other on important features.
Safety
This would not typically be where we'd start out when two high-performance sports cars are competing, but we feel like it's worth mentioning that the 2019 Mustang is going to outperform the Challenger in terms of safety. And that's a critical feature when you consider how fast both of these go. Driver-assisted safety features are out of this world for the Mustang: Auto emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-assist, to name just a few of the features that the Mustang offers its drivers. And while we're more interested in acceleration and overall design here, starting out with safety shows you how far the Mustang has come in terms of modern tech. You're not just getting a fast car here. You're getting a highly intelligent, technologically advanced vehicle.
Powertrain
The standard powertrain for both the Mustang and Challenger are neck-and-neck, but it's the Mustang that wins the overall battle. Its 2.3L EcoBoost® inline 4 engine churns out 310 horsepower while the Challenger's 3.6L V6 engine manages only 305 horsepower. It's a slight difference, but we all know how much of a difference this can be depending on the efficiency and overall smoothness of the power. And Mustangs are always pure power. You'll also enjoy an edge in torque when you buy a Mustang. Its 350 lb-ft of torque bests the challenger by a good little bit, as the Challenger gives you only 268 lbs-ft of torque.
Technology
The size of the touchscreen devices in the Challenger slightly bests the Mustang, but that's where the technology match-up ends. Thanks to so many connectivity features and more modern tech in the Mustang, you're going to want to buy it rather than the Challenger if you're a technology fan. Thanks to features like remote start, SYNC3, and the well-known perk of FordPass, you'll want to grab a Mustang for the 2019 season to keep up with tech in your brand new muscle car. And while the Challenger certainly has perks to offer on its own in the tech department, our money is on the Mustang!
The new 2019 RAM Challenger is enjoyed by drivers for the tech features that are included in the cabin, but fewer options are available when it comes to the engines and features that are offered. The safety features that are offered are also advanced and improve driver confidence while spending time behind the wheel.
