What drives the cost of insuring a Dodge Challenger
HLDI does not publish loss results for the Dodge Challenger, so our estimate uses the typical losses of its segment (Sports car): 1.09× average for liability, 1.35× for collision and 1.15× for comprehensive.
- Repair and parts costs: Sports car — performance models see more frequent and costlier crashes.
- Safety: 5-star NHTSA overall rating (frontal 4★, side 5★, rollover 4★) — better occupant protection lowers injury-claim costs.
- Recalls & complaints: 6 NHTSA recall campaigns and 70 owner complaints across its latest three model years. Recalls don't change premiums directly, but open recalls should be fixed.

How we estimate this
We start from the state's average liability, collision and comprehensive premiums published by the NAIC, then apply a location factor (population density and commute time from the Census ACS, weather hazard scores from FEMA's National Risk Index), a vehicle factor (HLDI insurance-loss data where available, otherwise vehicle segment), and a driver-profile multiplier. Results are rounded ranges for comparison, not quotes. Read the full methodology.
