In November 2021, Stellantis announced that 2023 model year would be the final model year for both the Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger, as the company will focus its future plans on electric vehicles rather than fossil fuel powered vehicles, especially with tougher automotive emissions standards of being rolled out and required by the Environmental Protection Agency for the 2023 model year. It was a return to a rear-wheel-drive sedan platform Dodge had not offered since the mid-size Dodge Diplomat had been discontinued in 1989. It featured a four-door sedan body design, whereas all the previous production Chargers had two doors. It took many styling cues from the 1960s Chargers, sharing their long nose and rearward cab, but was shorter at 187 in (4,750 mm), compared to 203 in (5,156 mm) for the 1966 Charger. In 1999, Dodge introduced a new Charger R/T concept car. Although the name is associated with the late-1960s performance model in the Dodge range, it was also used on personal luxury coupes during the late-1970s and on front-wheel-drive subcompact hatchbacks during the 1980s. There were several different vehicles bearing the Charger nameplate built on three different platforms and sizes, all bearing the Charger nameplate.


The first production Charger, based on the Dodge Coronet, was introduced as a 1966 model. The first Charger was a 1964 show car based on the Dodge Polara and fitted with a 426 Wedge V8 engine. The seventh-generation Charger debuted for the 2011 model year. The Charger was developed to continue the Dodge Charger line with its muscle car heritage, and replaced the Dodge Intrepid as Dodge's full-size sedan. It is available in rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive drivetrains. The Dodge Charger is a full-size four-door sedan, introduced first at the 2005 North American International Auto Show and built by American automobile manufacturer Stellantis North America, a subsidiary of Stellantis.
