Overall Rating
For someone who has been a cop movie fanatic, the Dodge Charger is not a new name. Ever since its introduction in 2005, the Charger has been a regular feature in Dodge’s product lineup.
Like its Chrysler 300, and Dodge Challenger siblings, the 2014 Dodge Charger remains mostly unchanged this year. Dodge offers a sporty new Redline package available on the SXT trim, which adds upgraded suspension and steering, black chrome wheels, sport seats, and a horsepower bump from 292 hp to 300 hp. The base Charger is with a 3.6-litre V-6 and a five-speed automatic is available at a price of $26,995. The range-topper Charger SRT8's 470 hp 6.4-liter V-8 begins at $46,385.
The Charger sedan is a good compact car that offers a spacious interior, riding comfort and ample safety features. All this is packaged under a stylish exterior backed by muscle-car performance. This modern Charger with V6 engines outperforms its predecessors with the V8s while getting the efficiency of 8-speed automatic transmission. For enthusiasts who want extra traction, Dodge offers an all-wheel-drive (AWD) and powerful Hemi V8 engines. Good for both families and purists, the Dodge Charger sedan competes against the likes of Chrysler 300 and Nissan Maxima.
If you are someone who is buying the Charger for its sheer power, the SRT8 Super Bee will be your go-to option. It features a V8 engine that bestows upon the car immense power and has a lot of optional features on offer that makes the car practical. However, if you are looking for a daily driver, the base trim will also be sufficient to meet your needs.
