It's a Charger! They'll probably make an EV Challenger too, maybe like a smaller and sportier coupe. But this is a 2025 version of the 1968 Charger, not an EV version of the Challenger

I think you're trying to redesign the new Charger into something it's not meant to be. You insist on comparing it to the current Challenger, which is fair to use as an example of a modern muscle car, but the design of the new Charger itself takes much more inspiration from the Gen 2 (1968-1970) Charger. Yes, the new Charger could look better (ex: slope of hood and roofline), but by bringing it even closer to the classic design, rather than what you've done, which is better on the Challenger (the kink by the door, that really looks odd on the Charger).

Welp....at least we know he doesnt read his comments (or uploads premade videos despite his comments telling him why the car is a charger, not a challenger...)

The new Dodge charger isn't supposed to look like a challenger, the design is perfect already

I hope you are reading the comments on your last video

It's charger not challenger.. It has it's own design.. It not suppose to be a challenger.

the biggest mistake that people do when it comes to comparison is they compare it with challenger, but they don't consider that the charger is older brother and it had it own design keys

the body lines are supposed to be reminiscent of a 2nd gen charger (1968-70).

While it isnt supposed to be a challenger, it still makes sense to compare the new dodge coupe model to the old, recently discontinued dodge coupe model

Can you please do a full video of you redesigning the whole car😁

Adding in the door scallops would have been the icing on the cake imo

its a fast back design that dates back to the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s , dodge and ford nascar style

I'd make one additional change. I'd bring the silver body closer to the ground behind the rear tire. Compared to the front end, it looks like there's less mass behind the rear tire. Shrinking the plastic of the "diffuser" would help with that.

I actually like the new design on the Charger. The design reminds me of the cars designed by Pontiac, Buick and Dodge from late 1960's. However, at 60k the traditional Dodge customer will be unable to afford.

I too have a 1/24 scale model of the GMC Vandora A-Team van 😊

Crazy how much the roof and window line looks like the R35

I always enjoy your styling tweaks! I read that both 2- and 4-door versions of this car feature a hatchback... neither has a trunk which certainly affects the roofline and overall look.

My main complaint of the new Charger, aside from the lack of a V8, is the size and weight. The thing weighs more than an extended length Escalade.

Nah, I think the new Charger - 2 door- looks fantastic; I even like it a little better than the concept. Your redesign looks nothing at all like the concept, but rather like a slight evolution from the current Challenger.

Can you please do a redesign with the 1968 Charger as a comparison? It makes more sense as that is what they were trying to do but still failed miserably.

As a 73 owner I appreciate the new charger at least taking some design cues from earlier generation chargers unlike the current charger which has almost nothing in common with previous generations but in my opinion if that rear quarter window was just a little shorter and that b-pillar was pushed forward making the trunk a little longer that would be beautiful

Personally, I think the guys at Dodge were looking at the Nissan GTR and the newer Camaro's for inspiration when they were designing the new Charger and your redesign kinda reminds me of the Scorpion car from Fortnite

The concept was gorgeous. it was possible to put this in production!

The side profile you just made it look like a Challenger.. so I do love the concept wheels, I wish theyd maybe sell those as a performance part

Mitigating the “round headlight” treatment from the current Challenger front end for the Sixpack model would be distinctive and attractive.

Extending the greenhouse for me and aft gives more interior space for passenger and cargo - which is what an EV ( and smaller ICE ) can do for you. I think some of the paint options will look better than others as they will make the downward curving character line more visible. That will off set the same horizontal line from hood to trunk.

The concept looks like a Muscle car, Instead the production version looks like a toy

Glad to see the channel turning around. Everything looks good:3

Very well done on the redesign on the rear end and wheels. Your styling makes more sense in this new generation. No one really wants an EV muscle car that looks like a hatchback. Some designs need to die and stay dead, like the AMC Gremlin. Dodge just keep deep trunks to make space for luggage and power upgrades. The front end is... 🤔better without the long dtrl. Am I wrong for saying that?

Нереально рад что вернулся старый формат видео, очень сильно нуждался в этом, спасибо тебе что вернулся, как и всегда кайфую с этих роликов

The Charger literally has a angled line to the front, why do you say that it looks static?

I think a lot of the design of the 2-door Charger is due to there will soon be a 4-door Charger that will comfortably accommodate two rear seat passengers.

Glad to see you doing some actual redesigns! I miss them. But I thought you said you were going to fix the weird rounded line in the front profile? That seems like the change that could be only one minor face lift away as opposed to making major changes to body proportions.

I think styling line harks back to long sweep of '68 Charger. Starting around leading edge of front door the line runs smoothly sloping through rear guard to rear of car. That was the classic Charger signature I think 🤔 The '68 emphasis with fake air slots behind front wheel seemed to reinforce reason for the entire line.

In your design, I would have lowered the hood a little. But I do agree the new Charger looks great.

You made it so much better!😮

There needs to be a Concept Car Bodykit for this.

Im impressed with the look of this car. I wouldn't do the electric version ever!

Wow, the concept looks way better...

Love your channel. While I agree with your technician opinions I t his one, I believe your sketch was too close to the challenger vs being a newer design in this case. 👊🏻🏁

just love yr redesigning content

I completely agree with your opinion about the 4-door looks better than the 2-door. I'm glad you said that. I noticed that yesterday after watching your Bembli review then reviewing the MT article and pics. To me, this seems like old school Detroit industry cost-saving. Design a sedan then weld the doors together, widen the C-pillar and call it a coupe. Same car and profile. But was designed to first look good as a sedan.

Same with the M3/M4 definitely prefer the 4door especially from the side.

I'm pretty sure the sedan and coupe both have the exact same wheelbase. They extended the side windows a little bit on the sedan but besides that they're the same. The door edge lines being moved creates and optical illusion. But ultimately, the classic Charger and Challenger were very different designs. This design is based on the 1970 Charger, not a Challenger.

Perhaps they are trying to save on parts and used front panels and doors form the 4door on the 2 door version, creating vierdness?

I think the concept looks the best

Undaubtly, looks great your redesign. Really agressive. However, i think that the real new Challenger is a great design. We have to wait for a wide body or something.

Can you please do a re-design of the 1957 Chev BelAir? I can't figure out how to make this car look modern and was such a cool design in American automotive history!

I don't think it's supposed to be a Challenger. If you look at the Charger historically, it started as a coupe that still had a bit of a static feel with the same character line starting in the door and connecting to the trunk. And in parallel they had the Challenger, which was the true muscle car. After they paused them for a while they brought them back. The Charger became Dodge's version of the C300 while retaining the same overall vibe, and the Challenger was clearly a Challenger. Now the Challenger seems to be going away, while the Charger is sort of remembering what it used to be(which is not another Challenger)

The four door does look better imo. It makes it look more like the last generation charger

Great video! Thank you so much. I was really wondering what happened between the auto show version and the production version. I really wanted one but not a fan of the production version now :( 4:52 . Those extra large side mirrors and the huge side rear window blackout borders, really look bad to me.... haha, ya I thought the 4 door looked better also, I just said that to my friend a few minutes ago. Wow your redesign looks so much better! I do prefer the original angle on the prototype though, vs the mustang look of your edit.

Hey sketch i designed a grill for the mini r50. Thumb pic . Took a mini van grill and shaved it fit the gen 1 . Inspired by the ferrari roma would look great silver or body colour.

The charger is based on the 1970's charger. It is not based on the Challenger because it is a Charger so they didn't change the charger, they using the early design and discontinued the challenger

Couldn't agree with you more on your takes on the new Charger design.

Do more! Alter the front and rear as well. Very interested in seeing how you would change those.

I feel like the redesign you did made this look like a Camaro instead of a Charger. I still prefer the Daytona concept over the production model, but I think it still looks beautiful mostly the way it is aside from some smaller touches. Sure it’s more static, but I think they were going for a specific look that mimics the 1968 generation Charger that has a lot of flat lines that actually accentuates the length of the vehicle rather than the motion of it. Because of the lengthy greenhouse and sport-back design, it also delivers design cues that are similar to the 1965 Charger. The Daytona concept conveys a visual motion similar to an arrow or javelin and delivers more of a premium executive coupe aesthetic. I also feel like comparing it to the Challenger is more of an apples to oranges concept because if they wanted to invoke the same message that the Challenger does then they would have named it the Challenger. Overall, the production version looks more like an Enterprise rental car version of a Xenatec Maybach 57s coupe. Not bad, but misses the mark either way.

It's really a good redesign It's perfect for this kind of syling

You really fixed it so easily

I would love to see a redesign of a tesla model s/3 into something more aggressive like the lambo huracan. ie lower and with the almost straight line from the hood up along the windshield. Also there should be no door handles. This could be an alternative roadster design or a more aggressive looking plaid/performance. It should still be a tesla though.

Speaking of eggs and chicken, I think the new Charger was designed as a 4-door first. From the side profile it looks like a typical sedan based coupe, which is why I think it doesn't look as dynamic as it could. Similar thing with MB C- & E-Class coupes compared to completely separate models SL and AMG GT.

The charger 4 door is obviously wayyy bigger than the current it’s like it’s about to replace the Quattroporte

Very nice adjustments. It’s a cool looking car as is esthetically, Nothing crazy but I’m sure the performance is what will have people excited the most.

It’s a Charger, not a challenger! Take a look at the old challenger and chargers, as well as the previous, they have absolutely nothing in common when it comes to their design.

it's an improvement... but you just made it look like a Challenger.

I would say the 4 door version is fine as is, except it needs the indents in the doors. That would be a proper successor to the current Charger. However yes they're calling the 2 door a Charger as well but let's face it- it's taking the place of the Challenger. Therefore to me it does make sense to compare the 2 door version with the Challenger and make it look a little more Challenger-ish. More muscular and a little less sleek.

Problem is you made a Challenger redesign not a Charger. For wheel size, wimpy sizes have the advantage of lower cost and better EPA fuel economy to hit fuel efficiency mandates.

Designed as a 4-door car not a 2-door... for me, the design of the BMW 6 series is the only design that worked as a 2-door and 4-door coupe.

The thing I understand least is why the 2 door has a larger front wheel gap than the rear, it has a negative rake. It's not a matter of the graphics visual weight making the wheels appear different like on the EVO X, it's literally just a physically larger wheel gap. Even weirder since the 4 door looks right, same as the concept.

It only lacks the Pininfarina badge as can be seen on its brothers the Peugeot 504 Coupe and Fiat 130.

Thank you for pronouncing Coupé properly with the accent where it belongs. 1:03

So what you did was make it a refresh with a new front end instead of the clean sheet design it is.

I think the original design is better. It's closer to the design of the '79 charger.

Guys. Reguardless of what it supposed to look like. The production model is not a good design. It needed some tweaks and he tweaked it. You so focused on what he’s comparing it to that you don’t see how hideous it looks. I think he did a good job with the redesign.

Do you realize this design is supposed to be a mix of the charger and challenger?

Because every car model desigh now wants a modern look

I think the disappointment is due to the difference between the concept and the production car. The concept was beautiful and the production looks weak. Let's hope they update it in the next generation (if there is one after this)

I mean, yes it looks a little soft, but I don't get why we're still comparing the Charger to the Challenger. Why not compare it to the 60's, 70's Charger, since that looks more like what they were going for.?

Subjective: 2 door looks better to me.

Looking rather gtr from that side profile, and im all for it ❤. Awd i6 twin turbo is a huge W for us non murricans.

Thanks for the video…but I want more a side view of the 1968 Dodge Charger R/T compared to the new Dodge Charger !

May aswell compare the 69 charger and 71 challenger, apples and oranges.

i feel like a lot of you guys that oppose comparing the challenger to the charger miss the point he's making. this new charger is a 2 door and so is the challenger so it's logical to compare the 2. even just by looking at them you can see similarities. and to those that say the new charger is a rendition of the second generation charger, sure you can say that's what dodge is going for but c'mon. they are obviously 2 completely different vehicles with barely any similarities.

(This comment is another comment I made in the replies of another, but thought it should be one on it's own.) This comment will mainly talk about why him comparing the new charger to the challenger isn't exactly the right maneuver. The rear window shaping is way too sudden compared to the old chargers in the late 60s to 1970. It makes it look more like the 1970 or 1971 Challenger. Which doesn't make sense as this is supposed to be the new Charger I personally think he should have used references from the late 60s / early 70 chargers for references so that way it would make more sense.

Unless it’s got a V-8 I really don’t care what it looks like

คุณออกแบบรถได้ดี ดูลงตัวและสวยขึ้น

I think the most beautiful car design is in 2010 to 2017. After that all cars looks wierd

I like your design but feel like it looks like a challenger. I wonder if adding better wheels and lowering the charger would make it look more like the concept. I really feel like the main issue with it are the wheels.

Everyone is complaining about him talking about this being charger... The guys I don't care what you say it doesn't matter if this one is designed off of the old '60s and '70s charger, it still looks like a Challenger due to the fact that the Challenger and charger from the '70s and '60s looked very.. VERY similar, ESPECIALLY TO THE AVERAGE EYE

your tweaks don't look like a Charger... I would move the greenhouse back, raise the rear deck, but the fast back should actually flow further over the trunk.... also get rid of the curve over the front wheels...

They got away from the Dodge look and re-created a Camero

I thought something felt off with the car along with the rear bumper feeling like it belongs to another vehicle.

Safer for Pedestrian

I really miss round headlights.

I currently own a 2014 Camaro. This redesign for the Charger definitely gets it closer to a traditional family car. It tones down some of the best muscle car features. Not sold of the headlights either or lack of.

Not only does the sloping roof look ugly on the 2025 Charger, but it will also tank headspace in the rear seat, which was one of the few upsides of the Mopar muscle coupe over the Chevy and Ford. I can't for the life of me understand why it's so fkin much to ask for a GD coupe in today's market that fits large adult men in the back seat as well as something like even a first-generation Scion tC does. Not to mention a proper liftback instead of a useless tiny trunk open or an ugly hunched back hatch. Just give me an FR Scion tC with a transaxle and I'll be happy. Preferably with a turbo 5 or v6 that DOESN'T use integrated exhaust manifolds.

You are wrong we are still getting a new Challenger. Dodge only made the charger both two and four door because when they initially brought it back to the market in 2004 as a 4 door everyone kept bitching and moaning calling it “not a real charger”. So dodge responded by bringing it back as a two door but still kept the 4 door option because thats the most profitable format for this car seeing how successful the last two generations were.

I really wanted to like this thing but something's really off and I can't quite put my finger on it. Wheel to body relationship is awkward, front wheel not centered in wheel arch. Hoping it looks better in person but I'm afraid it might flop. Agree, the sedan looks way better.

The current Challenger is very blocky (thick from top to bottom) in the hindquarters and through the middle of the car. For years Dodge did a decent job of blacking out the rocker panel and as much as they could to the rear quarters and valence, but really couldn’t do anything about the rear. Dodge also used very large diameter wheels to make the car and deceive the viewer into thinking it wasn’t as large (116” wb) as it really is The changes they made from the concept were obviously production compromises because they do have to compete in the marketplace for things like interior room and comfort and ride height must almost always be higher than a concept car. It evokes the classic 68-70 but I think they could have made it more ‘coke bottle’ shaped and maybe did a new take on the 68-70 ‘door scallops’ which might give the rather bland side more appeal I liked your mods ( but obviously they couldn’t move the roofline back for interior space ) and I think you made the roof more ‘challenger-esque’ because you just generally favor it The last charger would have been vastly improved simply by putting the same or very similar challenger grille on it, the charger had the recessed open grille before the challenger anyway

10:08 now its a Camaro

For everyone Commenting "ITS A CHARGER" Yes, they desgined after the Late 1960s charger, but his point still remains, the Shape is Really Awkward and even if its based after an old Design, it worked back then, but this modern take is really a Fail. And their Sells and Reactions this gets, will reflect that. Even if we try to twist it Around and see the vision of the people who designed it, at the end of it it doesn't come off looking good in looks department. If it was not the Charger predecessor that had people hyped for a new Modern Charger than maybe it will take a Pass. But no, this is the New Generation of Dodge's Sports car Line. These look like lifeless EVs, like most EVs do, Specially after the 2015-23 fits its design looks much better since its a 4 door, Hunkier Muscle. Also it's not that he doesn't read comments, but this Was video was pre made since you can see His Sketches on his instagram before he posted his previous videos talking about the looks of car.
