The fabled Charger name from the past lives today in the form of a 4-door sedan. A sibling of the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Challenger, the Charger is a large rear-wheel drive sedan that offers a range of powerful engines to match its bold styling. The base model is the Charger SE, which is powered by a 3.6l V6 engine. The higher-performance R/T equips a 370-bhp V8 under the hood and offers optional all-wheel-drive to help get the power to the road. Dodge markets the Charger as a four-door muscle car offering a number of option packages with performance tweaks, upgraded wheels and bright colors. This is a small niche of the market. Aside from its sibling the Chrysler 300, the closest competitor is the Ford Taurus SHO, which is significantly more expensive.

What Changed:

The SRT8 model returns to the lineup after a brief hiatus. A 6.4l V8 rated 465-bhp is under the hood. The SRT8 has unique front styling, an active exhaust system and an adaptive damping suspension. A new 8-speed automatic transmission on 6 models improves fuel economy.
