Safety

To maximize occupant safety, the front and rear seat shoulder belts of the Dodge Charger have pretensioners to eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision. The Toyota Supra doesn’t offer pretensioners.

For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Dodge Charger 4-Door are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The Toyota Supra doesn’t offer height-adjustable seat belts.

The Charger has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The Supra doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

The Charger offers an optional 360° Surround View Camera to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Supra only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

The Charger has a standard blind spot warning system that uses sensors to alert the driver to objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them. A system to reveal vehicles in the Supra’s blind spot costs extra.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Charger has standard Rear Cross Path Detection, helping the driver avoid collisions. Toyota charges extra for Rear Cross Traffic Alert on the Supra.

Both the Charger and the Supra have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, rearview cameras and driver alert monitors.

The Dodge Charger weighs 1330 to 2439 pounds more than the Toyota Supra. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

Warranty

There are almost 2 times as many Dodge dealers as there are Toyota dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Charger’s warranty.

Reliability

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2025 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that Dodge vehicles are better in initial quality than Toyota vehicles. J.D. Power ranks Dodge above average in initial quality. With 20 more problems per 100 vehicles, Toyota is rated below average.

Engine

The Charger R/T’s standard 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder produces 38 more horsepower (420 vs. 382) and 100 lbs.-ft. more torque (468 vs. 368) than the Supra’s 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder. The Charger Scat Pack’s standard 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder produces 168 more horsepower (550 vs. 382) and 163 lbs.-ft. more torque (531 vs. 368) than the Supra’s 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder. The Charger Super Bee’s standard 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder produces 218 more horsepower (600 vs. 382) and 163 lbs.-ft. more torque (531 vs. 368) than the Supra’s 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder. The Charger Daytona Scat Pack’s standard electric motors produces 288 more horsepower (670 vs. 382) and 259 lbs.-ft. more torque (627 vs. 368) than the Supra’s 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder.

The Charger can travel with zero emissions for 223 to 267 miles (dependent on model). The Supra can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

The Charger Six Pack has 3.8 gallons more fuel capacity than the Supra (17.5 vs. 13.7 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

The Charger has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The Supra doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

Environmental Friendliness

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Dodge Charger higher (6 to 10 out of 10) than the Toyota Supra (4). This means the Charger produces up to 25 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the Supra every 15,000 miles.

Drivetrain

All-wheel drive, available in the Charger, provides the best traction for acceleration in wet, dry, and icy conditions. In corners, all-wheel drive allows both outside wheels to provide power, balancing the car. This allows for better handling. The Toyota Supra is not available with all-wheel drive.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the Charger’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Supra:

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Charger’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Supra (F:305/35R20 & R:325/35R20 vs. F:255/35R19 & R:275/35R19).

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Charger Scat Pack has standard 20-inch wheels. The Supra’s largest wheels are only 19-inches.

The Charger has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The Supra doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.

Suspension and Handling

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Charger’s wheelbase is 23.8 inches longer than on the Supra (121 inches vs. 97.2 inches).

For better handling and stability, the average track (width between the wheels) on the Charger is 5.3 inches wider in the front and 5.9 inches wider in the rear than the track on the Supra.

Chassis

The front grille of the Charger Daytona uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Supra doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The Charger Six Pack offers available computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Supra doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

Passenger Space

The Charger has standard seating for 5 passengers; the Supra can only carry 2.

The Charger has 52.2 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Supra (103.1 vs. 50.9).

The Charger Two-Door has .8 inches more front headroom, .4 inches more front legroom, 2.1 inches more front hip room and 3.2 inches more front shoulder room than the Supra.

Cargo Capacity

The Charger Two-Door has a much larger trunk with its rear seat up than the Supra (22.2 vs. 10.2 cubic feet).

To make loading and unloading groceries and cargo easier, especially for short adults, the Charger offers an optional power liftgate, which opens and closes automatically by pressing a button. The Supra doesn’t offer a power trunk.

Ergonomics

The Charger’s optional easy entry system raises the steering wheel and glides the driver’s seat back when the door is unlocked or the ignition is switched off, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The Supra doesn’t offer an easy entry system.

The Charger’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The Supra does not have an oil pressure gauge.

The Charger’s standard power windows have a locking feature to keep children in the rear seat from operating them, but the driver can still raise and lower all of them with the lock engaged. Toyota does not offer a locking feature on the Supra’s standard power windows.

The Charger’s standard Keyless Enter-N-Go allows you to unlock the doors from either front door handle, open the trunk, and start the car, all without removing the key from pocket or purse. Smart Key System standard on the Supra doesn’t offer a sensor on the trunk.

The Charger 4-Door has two rear doors to provide better access for cargo and rear passengers. The Supra doesn’t offer rear doors.

Heated windshield washer nozzles are standard on the Charger to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The Supra doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.

To shield the driver and front passenger’s vision over a larger portion of the windshield and side windows, the Charger has standard extendable sun visors. The Supra doesn’t offer extendable visors.

The Charger’s sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows. The Supra’s visors are fixed into the windshield header.

Optional air-conditioned seats in the Charger keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The Supra doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

On extremely cold winter days, the Charger’s optional heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up. The Supra doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.

Model Availability

The Dodge Charger comes in coupe and four door hatchback bodystyles; the Toyota Supra isn’t available as a four door.

Recommendations

A group of representative automotive journalists from North America selected the Charger as the 2026 North American Car of the Year. The Supra has never been chosen.
