The Ultimate Pony Car Comparison

The Ford Mustang has maintained a reputation for excellence for decades and with each new model year, you’ll find more and more performance features, high-end technology and bold style. The 2024 Ford Mustang follows suit with this tradition featuring an available Coyote V8 engine, the Ford Co-Pilot360^™ safety suite and comfortable seating within the 2024 Ford Mustang interior.

Although the team at our Ford dealership in Port Richey, FL, knows that the 2024 Ford Mustang specs outshine the competition, we are committed to helping you make an informed decision. That’s why, below, you’ll find a comparison of the 2024 Ford Mustang vs Dodge Charger.

Race Car Styling

Take on the road in comfort and style with the 2024 Ford Mustang from Ford of Port Richey that features a muscular grille, an athletic stance and 17-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels. This muscle car features a dual bright exhaust with rolled tips, power mirrors and LED projector headlamps with the base trim levels while premium trims are outfitted with a blade decklid spoiler, power heated side mirrors and pony projection lights.

Comparing the 2024 Ford Mustang vs Dodge Charger shows that the Charger features 17-inch and 20-inch wheels, too, with LED headlights. However, only premium trims offer LED fog lights. A look at the interior spaces of the 2024 Ford Mustang vs Dodge Charger reveals seating for five with the Charger and seating for four with the 2024 Mustang.

The 2024 Ford Mustang interior brings exceptional comfort and style to your drive with cloth or leather-trimmed sport seats, available heated and ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The 50/50 split bench rear seat adds to the cargo space in the 2024 Ford Mustang interior and you’ll love the Recaro^® seats and the convenience of the ambient lighting and auto-dimming frameless mirror. The Charger does offer cloth and leather seats and an available heated steering wheel, but you don’t get the MyColor^® ambient lighting options that you get with the Mustang coupe.

Exceptional Power and Performance

Although both the 2024 Ford Mustang and Dodge Charger are equipped with multiple engine options, you’ll find a bit more horsepower with top-of-the-line Charger models, but the 2024 Ford Mustang outshines the rest with selectable drive modes, smooth handling and precise cornering. The entry-level Mustang trims from our Ford dealership in Port Richey, FL, are powered by a 315-horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost^® engine that delivers 350 lb-ft of torque while paired with a 10 speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and rear-wheel drive.

Higher level configurations at Ford of Port Richey are powered by a 480-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 engine that delivers 418 lb-ft of torque and pairs with a 6 speed manual transmission. Pack a punch of even more power with trims that feature the 500-horsepower 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine.

The Dodge Charger muscle car features a standard 292-horsepower 3.6L V6 with an 8-speed automatic transmission, as well as an available 300-horsepower 3.6L V6. This sports car offers a 370-horsepower 5.7L V8 engine but only the top-of-the-line configurations are powered by a 485-horsepower 6.4L V8, a 717-horsepower 6.2L supercharged V8 engine or a 797-horsepower 6.2L supercharged V8 with the performance pack.

Intuitive Safety Features

What truly makes the 2024 Ford Mustang specs stand out even more is that all configurations are equipped with the Ford Co-Pilot360^™ safety suite.

Pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking is part of the suite as well as the SOS Post-Crash Alert System^™ and a rearview camera.

When comparing the 2024 Ford Mustang vs Dodge Charger, it’s easy to see that the Charger lacks when it comes to safety technology.

Remarkable Cabin Connectivity
