A fabled name from the past returns in the form of a 4-door sedan. The Charger recalls the legendary Mopar muscle car from the 1960's. No Charger would be complete without a HEMI V-8 (5.7L), an upgrade from the standard 3.5L V-6. Both engines are mated to a 5-speed automatic. Dodge estimates 0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds for a HEMI equipped Charger. A Performance Handling Group sharpens the Charger's reflexes with 18" wheels and tires, tuned suspension, sport seats, and self-leveling dampers. The SRT8 package ups the performance even further with a 425 hp 6.1L V8 and 20 inch wheels and tires. Unlike its siblings the Chrysler 300 and the Dodge Magnum no AWD version is offered.

What Changed:

New Charger effectively replaces the Dodge Intrepid. Based on the same large RWD platform as the 300 and Magnum the Charger is a 4-door, 5 passenger sedan. Power is provided by either a 250 hp V6 or a 340 hp HEMI (R) V8. A 5-speed automatic is the only available transmission. SRT8 version features a 425hp 6.1L HEMI (R) V8.
