For drivers who need to re-charge their soul, the Dodge Charger is calling. Even with its throw- back muscle car styling, the Charger is all about present-day appeal. Some will perceive that the Charger just wouldn’t work as an everyday family vehicle. But that’s short-selling this four-door. The Charger earns hearty approval nods for front and rear seat occupant riding comfort. Its pinpointed handling is complimented by rack and pinion steering with hydraulic power assist that truly lets the driver feel the inputs. While the test-driven rear wheel drive Charger was exceedingly fun to drive, all wheel drive is available on select trims.

Charger comes with a standard 3.6-liter V6 (292 horsepower at 6350 rpm/260 pounds-feet of torque at 4800 rpm), or an optional 5.7-liter HEMI V8 (370 horsepower at 5250 rpm/ 395 pounds-feet of torque at 4200 rpm). The 120.2-inch wheelbase Charger offers a five-speed automatic and an 8-speed automatic transmission. A new $1,695 Redline Package (available on rear wheel drive SXT and SXT Plus trims) includes all-season performance tires with 20-inch/ five-spoke black chrome aluminum wheels, sports seats, sports-tuned suspension, body color rear spoiler, and the Beats by Dr. Dre audio system. Charger SXT with V6 and 8-speed transmission collects estimated mpg of 19 city/31 highway and carries a MSRP of $29,295.
