2022 Dodge Challenger Features & Design
While Dodge has been chasing the dream of being the fastest and most powerful muscle car, they have not forgotten about style and comfort. One of the most loved things about the Challenger is its modern design that embraces its heritage. Using the slim, forward-leaning grille and round headlights, the Challenger’s front end reminds onlookers of the models of old. Meanwhile, the low and wide stance, LED daytime running lights, and sharp lines give it a modern look. Standard features include power-adjustable heated side mirrors, 18-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry/ignition, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, houndstooth cloth upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, AndroidAuto/Apple CarPlay, heated/cooled front seats, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Performance features for the Scat Pack and all following trims include line lock, launch control, Active Exhaust, Brembo high-performance brakes, SRT Drive Modes, SRT Performance Pages, and more.
2022 Ford Mustang Features & Design
The Mustang wears its American muscle heritage on its sleeve as with the Challenger. An aggressive road presence supports its power, featuring the same long sculpted hood, swooping roofline, short trunk, slim headlight housings, and sharp edges on the sides. Other standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, HID headlights, LED taillights with sequential turn signals, a 4.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, cloth upholstery, smartphone integration, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Higher Mustang trim levels add Brembo brakes, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, 18 or 19-inch wheels, and an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen.
