Who is Dodge?
Dodge is an American marque within Stellantis, the global automotive group that also includes Chrysler, Jeep and Ram. Its identity is closely tied to performance: muscle cars and powerful engines are the familiar shorthand, though the name has also appeared on family cars, minivans, SUVs, pickups and work vans. That mix gives Dodge a broad history, with an especially strong American character.
What kinds of Dodge models are there?
The model list stretches from compact cars such as the Omni, Neon and Caliber to family haulers including the Caravan and Grand Caravan. SUVs and crossovers include the Durango, Nitro, Journey and Hornet. The Ram pickups and vans point to another side of the brand: practical vehicles for carrying people and loads.
Performance names run through the range. The Viper is a sports car, while the Charger and Challenger have long represented Dodge’s muscle-car tradition. The Charger is among the longest-running names in the list, alongside the Durango; the Grand Caravan, Dakota and Viper also span long periods.
How has the range changed over time?
The models listed from the 1980s and 1990s show a wide spread of saloons, small cars, pickups and vans, as well as sports cars such as the Viper. From the 2000s onward, the list includes crossovers and SUVs such as the Caliber, Nitro, Journey and Durango, while the Charger and Challenger carry the performance-car thread into more recent years.
Dodge’s European registrations reflect that varied range. The Journey had the largest listed total, with 12,171 registrations in the EU from 2010 to 2016. The Caliber followed with 7,501 from 2010 to 2012. Challenger recorded 4,624 from 2016 to 2025, while Durango recorded 2,538 over 2014 to 2025.
Where are Dodge cars sold, and what about electrification?
The figures span EU registrations and official fuel economy and emissions sources in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada. Test procedures differ: European figures may use WLTP or the older NEDC cycle, the US uses EPA testing, and Canada uses its five-cycle method, so results from different markets are not directly equivalent.
Electrification appears in the newer end of Dodge’s story. The Hornet, listed from 2023, was offered as a plug-in hybrid, and the new Charger has an all-electric Daytona version as well as combustion-powered versions. The brand’s range therefore connects its established performance identity with more than one kind of powertrain.
