2023 Dodge Challenger, Infiniti QX60 headline this week’s new car reviews
The media preview day of the Detroit auto show came and went this week with little fanfare, aside from the launch of the 2024 Ford Mustang. Chrysler showed off the last iteration of the 300C full-size sedan before it follows the Dodge Challenger and Charger into the automotive great beyond, Jeep unveiled new 4xe plug-in hybrid models, and Chevy showed off an RST sport variant of the Tahoe full-size SUV.
Otherwise, 2023 models keep rolling into dealerships with markups across the board compared to their 2022 counterparts. Here’s what else drove us this week.
