What the Critics Say

“Surely the purists won’t complain about the Charger’s high-class interior, maybe the best we’ve seen from a Dodge in … well, come to think of it, ever. We love the way the ambient lighting reflects into the gray carbon-fiber-pattern trim that surrounds the dashboard, enhancing the floating-dash effect. The screens are laid out sensibly and within easy reach, the transmission shifter is a neat new interpretation of the classic Mopar pistol grip, and the squared-off steering wheel is a nifty callback to the “squircles” Chrysler used in the 1960s.” – MotorTrend “On the twisties, the Dodge feels lighter and smaller than it is. I felt the shift of the car’s mass when I was threading between cones during my drifting lesson, but the raw power camouflages that weight in the corners. The contact patch on the Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season tires on my test car flattened out nicely to support the car as it poured its bulk from one side to the other.” – The Drive

Dodge Charger Features

Dodge Charger Performance

Next-Generation Performance

Essential for any true muscle car, performance remains at the forefront of the Dodge Charger model range. Charger Daytona models come equipped with a cutting-edge 400V Propulsion System with dual 250-kW Electric Drive Modules (EDM) and standard all-wheel drive for maximum control. Total system output ranges between 420 horsepower for base trims up to 670 horsepower for Scat Pack trims. Of course, we can’t forget to mention the available 3.0L Twin Turbo SIXPACK High-Output (HO) engine and 8-speed automatic transmission are available for those who prefer the rumble and roar of a conventional gas-powered powertrain. This means that the Charger has the ability to reach 60 MPH from a standstill in just 3.3 seconds while completing the quarter-mile in a remarkable 11.5 seconds (estimated). Other noteworthy performance features include the world’s first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust that emits a distinct and tangible rumble, different from any other vehicle on the road. A sleek R-Wing front aero passthrough helps move air through the front fascia and reduces front lift by up to 30% and drag by up to 3% as it slices through the air.

Dodge Charger Interior

Race-Inspired Cockpit

With every aspect meticulously tailored to the needs of the driver, the race-inspired interior of the Dodge Charger seamlessly combines comfort and support. All models boast best-in-class cargo space that makes it a practical choice as a daily-driver. First-class luxury features available inside the cabin include optional leather-trimmed upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, Dual-Zone Automatic Temperature Control, and genuine Alcantara® or carbon fiber trim accents. Ready to hear your favorite songs the way the artists intended them to be heard? Opt for the available premium 18-speaker, 914-watt Alpine system with subwoofer that’s tuned specifically for the unique acoustics of the Dodge Charger. An optional heated steering wheel is a great way to make cold winter mornings much more pleasant inside the Charger.

Dodge Charger Technology

Technology & Safety

Equal parts supportive and engaging, you’ll discover a wide range of forward-thinking technology and safety features inside the Dodge Charger. When it comes to multimedia, all Charger models come standard with the cutting-edge Uconnect® 5 touchscreen available in sizes ranging from a 10.25-inch unit to an optional 16-inch upgrade. This system is your centralized location for all of your favorite features, accessible via standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto smartphone integration. Charger Daytona models also include a cutting-edge Navigator Charging Location feature that provides enhanced route guidance and charging solutions. Drivers can also take advantage of the clever Performance Pages feature to monitor key vehicle performance metrics directly via the Uconnect 5 system. It’s hard to beat the peace of mind and confidence that comes from knowing you’re ready to respond to dangerous situations behind the wheel of the Dodge Charger thanks to standard driver-assist tech features as well.
