What we recommend

The SXT trim of the 2017 Charger offers more standard features and is our recommendation. The V6 is more efficient than the performance-oriented V8. The ride is also gentle and the additional features on the SXT include 8-inch wheels, LED fog lamps, heated mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, an auto-dimming mirror, an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat. 

Fuel Economy
6.0/10


The Dodge Charger with the V6 engine is marked at 19 mpg in the cities, 30 mpg in the highways and 23 mpg combined. The optional AWD system brings down the ratings to 18 mpg in the cities, 27 mpg in the highways and 21 mpg combined. Choosing the V8 further degrades the fuel efficiency to 16, 25 and 19 mpg.  The Charger Hellcat with its 6.2-liter V8 gives 13, 22 and 16 mpg in cities, highways and combined respectively.

The Toyota Avalon has the highest fuel economy ratings in the group, with 21 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway, and 24 mpg combined. The 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan and the Toyota both get 30 mpg on the highway, while the Kia Cadenza and Buick LaCrosse get 23 mpg combined. Although the Dodge outperforms the Kia and Buick on highways, it falls short of the Avalon.

Interior
7.0/10


A clean dashboard design gives the interior of the 2017 Dodge Charger a considerably wider appeal. Although the inside quality is adequate for the Charger's asking price, there are some big areas of plastic and black rubbery trim that may be off-putting. Some retro-inspired details, like as the T-handle shifter for the automatic transmission, add to the overall aesthetic.

In terms of front passenger headroom and legroom, the Kia Cadenza outperforms the competition. While the Buick LaCrosse has a problem with headroom, the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan lacks legroom. In terms of rear passengers, the Buick leads with plenty of headroom, while the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan compensates with plenty of legroom while having the least amount of headroom.

Competition

2017 Dodge Charger vs 2017 Kia Cadenza

For quite some time, the Kia Cadenza has defined luxury Sedans as a beautiful blend of large interiors crafted with the highest quality materials and amenities like heated seats. It has only one engine option, a 3.3-liter V6 mated to an 8-speed automated transmission that sends power to the front wheels.  In comparison with the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan, Kia has a slightly less powerful engine and a much slower acceleration. The Kia offers a more premium and spacious interior while the Dodge offers slightly better cargo space.

2017 Dodge Charger vs 2017 Buick LaCrosse

With its V6 engine and adaptive suspension, the Buick Lacrosse offers a floaty ride and is loaded with technology, including an infotainment system that features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrations. When compared to the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan, the Buick has a stronger engine performance, but it lags behind substantially in terms of acceleration. Despite having equal fuel economy, the brakes don't have anything like the stopping ability of the Dodge. The interior seating space and cargo space are also adequate.

2017 Dodge Charger vs 2017 Toyota Avalon

The classic elegance and calm riding experience are embodied by the affordable Toyota Avalon. The basic V6 engine glides beautifully, and the handling is surprisingly nimble for a vehicle of its size. Toyota includes standard safety technologies like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking to make it even more appealing. When comparing the Avalon to the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan, we can see that it lags far behind in engine performance and acceleration, and its brakes are far from remarkable. It does, however, have superior fuel economy ratings and a reasonable interior and luggage capacity.'

Final Verdict


The 2017 Dodge Charger offers plenty of options to fit across a wide variety of preferences. The base trims offer plenty of power for city driving while still making it feel like a big muscle car. The V6 motor in the base trims and the 8-speed automatic transmission offers a pleasant ride while the higher trims offer more performance at the cost of comfort. The Charger offers plenty of space and considerable standard features. 4
