Also, I hope the wheels and tires look like that (correct proportions). Remember the truck tires on the Revell Challenger...

Right?

And you know how easy that was to solve?  Those were Chevy SSR tires, particularly the bigger rear ones.  All ya gotta do for a much more agreeable look is use the lower-profile front SSR tires stretched around the rims. 

Meaning, all Revell had to do was supply those tires for something a lot better right out of the box.  Then again, these are the guys who apparently brought the TRX tires back for the latest '67 Corvette reissue, so surprise, surprise.

Those front SSR tires just happen to be used as the custom rubber in a number of "California Wheels" cars, so if you have one or a few of those, you might be able to fix your Challenger without wasting a kit.

I think it could represent an R/T from 2015 to 2023, no major visible differences these years beyond the wheels, maybe?   Hopefully, more variants will come like a wide body or Hellcat..

So, maybe from a marketing standpoint it would've been better to leave off the model year? Thoughts please!

Cheers

Nah, probably doesn't matter.. though since it is late 2022 now, maybe labeling it as a '22 instead of a '21 would have been better...

Bronco and Charger should qualify as 23’s 

There may be a licensing reason for still calling the Charger a '21 vs a newer year. The Bronco though is representing the First Edition, which was only sold in 2021 (it had a combination of options and parts from the various regular trim levels). They may be able to have them be newer years for their next releases.
