Choosing between two industry giants can be a bit of a head-scratcher. And choosing between the 2015 Dodge Charger and the 2015 Ford Mustang is either the easiest or the most difficult decision you'll make this year, depending on how you feel about each brand.Â
But let's put all of that aside and take a close look at the performance of their engines and the availability of some key features.
Power and Performance
The 2015 Dodge Charger serves up four engine options:
- Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI SRT Hellcat V8 that produces 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque
- 6.4-liter HEMI V8 that produces 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque
- 5.7-liter HEMI V8 that produces 370 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque
- 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 that produces 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torqueÂ
To compare, the 2015 Ford Mustang offers three engine options, none of which can meet the insane amount of power offered by the Hellcat engine:
- 3.7-liter Ti-VCT V6 that produces 300 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque
- 2.3-liter GTDI I-4 engine with EcoBoost that produces 310 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque
- 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 that produces 435 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque
Standard Feature Comparison
When it comes to choosing a new vehicle, it's natural to want the vehicle with the most standard features. Not only will this mean you get those features even if you're on a budget, but it also means you can get more for your money.Â
The 2015 Dodge Charger offers an extensive list of standard features, including the following:
- Keyless Enter 'N Go
- Hill Start Assist
- Electronic Stability Control
- All-Speed Traction Control
- Rain Brake Support
- Ready Alert Braking
- Speed Control
- Uconnect 5-inch touchscreen AM/FM/Bluetooth audio system
- Steering wheel-mounted audio controls

In comparison, the 2015 Ford Mustang offers standard features such as the following:
- Remote keyless entry
- Rearview camera
- SOS Post-Crash Alert System
- AM/FM stereo with single CD player
- Six speakers

Even if you have a pretty good idea of what each vehicle offers, just take a look at the difference in length of these two lists. The 2015 Dodge Charger simply offers more!Â
Not just that, but you also get the 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the base model of the Dodge Charger, and that's simply not available in the base model of the Ford Mustang. So really, which vehicle gives you better value?
