2021 Ford Mustang vs Dodge Challenger

Ford Mustang

You want strength and raw power. You want a car as robust and wild as stallions charging across the plains of the Midwest. Then you’re looking for a sports car like the 2021 Ford Mustang or Dodge Challenger, but which one is right for you?

We at Tipton Ford are here to help you make this important decision with our 2021 Ford Mustang vs. Dodge Challenger comparison. We want all our friends in Nacogdoches and Lufkin, Texas, to make the right choice for them, so read on to learn the important differences between the two.


2021 Ford Mustang vs Dodge Challenger: Presence on the Road

Ford MustangWhen you’re after one of these two beasts, you’re looking for a vehicle that is going to make a statement. The 2021 Dodge Challenger has an overall length of 197.9 inches with a 116.2-inch wheelbase. When it comes to width, most trims are 75.7 inches, but there are also widebody trims that add an extra 3.5 inches.

But if you’re interested in having just as much presence and more agility, then check out the Mustang. With a 107-inch wheelbase, this sports car can handle sharp corners better than its competition. You’ll also be able to fit into cozier spots at the grocery store with a maximum width of 76.7 inches on the Shelby GT500 trim.


2021 Ford Mustang vs Dodge Challenger: Miles to Go

Ford Mustang Driving

To keep your presence on the road, you’ll need solid fuel economy to keep you going. The most fuel-efficient powertrain on the 2021 Dodge Challenger, the 3.6L Pentastar® engine, offers a respectable EPA-estimated 19 city/ 30 highway MPG. This can help keep you away from the pump and on the road.

However, the motor with the best fuel economy on the Mustang, the 2.3L EcoBoost® engine, offers a slightly better EPA-estimated 21 city/ 32 highway MPG. This means you can start skipping that morning stop at the pump and swap it for a stop at the café's drive thru—we won’t tell.


2021 Ford Mustang vs Dodge Challenger: Uncompromising Safety

Ford Mustang SafetyAs you can see, these performance machines can go wheel-to-wheel in several important arenas, but who comes out on top when it comes to keeping you and your family safe? Both offer several safety features standard, such as:

  • Automatic Headlamps
  • Automatic Braking
  • Pre-Collision Assist Systems

However, the 2021 Ford Mustang’s Ford Co-Pilot360™ standard safety suite comes standard with more features. While the Challenger has many of the same features, such as Blind-Spot Information Systems (BLIS® in the Ford) and Adaptive Cruise Control, you’ll be upgrading to higher trim levels if you want access to them.
