Dodge, Stellantis’s American performance car brand, on Monday announced both the Charger and Challenger models in their current forms will end with the 2023 model year, as the company follows suit with the rest of the automobile industry and makes large investments to produce electric vehicles.
The Charger and Challenger models were iconic muscle cars in the 1960s and 1970s and were revived by Dodge in the early 2000s. Production of the muscle cars will end at the Bramptom Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada, in December of 2023.
“We are celebrating the end of an era — and the start of a bright new electrified future — by staying true to our brand,” Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer of Stellantis, said in a statement.
