Differences Between 2018 Dodge Charger & 2018 Chevrolet Camaro

Serving Cincinnati, OH, Columbus, OH, and Springfield, OH

Dodge is famous for its production of unapologetic performance cars. The Charger model is truly an American icon, and it's not just because of the raw power it emits. It's sleek, stylish design and wonderfully built frame makes this muscle car the model of choice for those who like to show off what they park in their driveway. The 2018 model continues the tradition of unrivaled power and performance.

The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro represents the latest in a long line of best selling coupes that bear this name. It's a good performance vehicle and can be equipped with a hair-raising amount of horsepower, but it lags a bit behind the Charger in the areas of customization possibilities, drivability, and interior design. Below, a more detailed comparison is given.

Trim Levels And Customization

There may not be a domestic model for 2018 that allows for more trim choices and package options than the 2018 Dodge Charger. The model is available in a total of 10 trims, from the affordable SXT to the truly uncompromising SRT Hellcat. All of these trims come with such standard features as smartphone app integration, a rearview camera, and parking sensors. The SXT is fitted with a 292-horsepower V6, the R/T comes with a 5.7L V8 that produces a total of 370 horsepower, and the SRT Hellcat is powered by a supercharged rated at an eye-popping 707 horsepower. Each trim above the SXT offers additional performance features including adaptive suspension, high-performance Brembo brakes, and all-leather upholstery on the high-level trims. The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro is available in both coupe and convertible styles, but only seven trims are available. The base models come standard with a four-cylinder engine, so buyers will have to upgrade in order to get power that's on the level of the Dodge Charger.

Muscle Car Attitude

The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro is no slouch when it comes to performance, but it's designed to work as both a sports coupe and a commuter vehicle. Its suspension isn't as performance-minded as what is included on all of the 2018 Charger trims, and it doesn't handle the tight turns at high speeds as nimbly as the Charger. A performance package must be ordered if the buyer wants the six-piston Brembo brakes, something that comes standard on all of the high-end Charger trims. With the V8 engine choices, the Charger outmuscles the Camaro. The Charger offers better acceleration, and the steering, while a bit heavy at normal speeds, gives the driver an extra boost of confidence on the highway.

Interior Design

Some of the rivals in the muscle car category skimp on the interior features, and most of these models have very cramped rear seating areas. The 2018 Dodge Charger doesn't come out on top when it comes to rear-seat headroom, but adults won't feel squeezed back there. The infotainment system is easy to use, and buyers will appreciate the standard power-adjustable driver's seat, voice controls, and satellite radio on the base SXT trim. The 2018 Camaro has one of the tiniest back seats of any domestic model, and the materials quality falls short of the Charger by a mile.
