I think it shares alot of the features.  
Its more a challenger then the charger is a charger.  
You have to remember, the doors got taller for side impact.  
Frontends got bigger because cars have to be “safer for when you run someone over”  
Also to help with frontal impact/ aero.  
Same reason when they re designed the mini, it was redesigned again with a taller frontend for pedestrian safety.
