Overall Rating
The Dodge Charger is available at an MSRP of $24,395 bringing it into direct competition with the Chrysler 300, Nissan Maxima, and the Ford Taurus.
The Dodge Charger is an icon. Its modern version has been refreshed for the 2011 year. It is powered by a re-tuned 3.5 L engine which now makes 292 hp and 260 foot-pounds of talk allowing it to do a 0 to 60 in 7.1 seconds
The interior has also been improved and the materials are now softer to touch. There is a big update in the technology and receives many more standard features here and in the safety department. The Dodge Charger is available at an MSRP of $24,395 bringing it into direct competition with the Chrysler 300, Nissan Maxima, and the Ford Taurus.
As there is only one trim available we would recommend buying it. We would recommend upgrading the interior two leather upholstery and also getting dual-zone automatic climate control. Along with this, we would recommend getting the navigation system and also a few optional safety features.
