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.

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.
