The Buick LaCrosse tops the engine performance table with its massive output of 310 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque.

However, the Toyota Avalon is seen to be the least powerful among the four by quite a margin.

2017 Dodge Charger Acceleration and Braking performance

The 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan is all about its butch appearance and a deep yet throaty exhaust rumble from its motor. The transmission quickly cycles up and down the gear ratio without any power loss and makes brilliant use of the massive torque produced by the sizable engines. While the 6.4-liter V8 engine reaches the 60 mph mark in just over 4 seconds, the 6.2-liter V8 of the Hellcat does it in just 3.7 seconds! The regular Charger with the V6 under its hood reaches 60mph from a standstill at a decent 6.5 seconds. It completes the standing quarter-mile run within 14.4 seconds as well.

Both the Kia Cadenza and the Toyota Avalon are not so far behind the Charger and have almost similar acceleration times. The Buick LaCrosse beats the competition with its sub-6-sec 0-60mph time. The heft of the Charger restricts its acceleration giving its competitors an edge over it.

The braking performance of the Charger is quite impressive though and it takes only 111 ft to come to a complete halt from 60mph. The Toyota Avalon covers the maximum distance to come to a halt while the Kia Cadenza takes a decent 120 ft to do the same. The Buick LaCrosse takes a somewhat satisfactory 123 ft to come to a complete stop from 60mph.

The old-school muscle cars, as we know them, have become quite modern today, and apart from offering most of the modern techs and features, they do offer some decent fuel economy figures as well while keeping the performance intact. The base V6 in the 2017 Charger is marked at 19 MPG in the cities, 30 MPG in the highways, and 23 MPG combined. Selecting an AWD layout brings down the ratings to 18 MPG in the cities, 27 MPG in the highways, and 21 MPG combined. Going for the beefy V8 powertrains will further degrade the fuel efficiency from 16/25/19 MPG for the R/T to 13/22/16 MPG for the Hellcat in cities, highways, and combined respectively.

The Toyota Avalon boasts the best fuel economy ratings of 21 mpg in the cities, 30 mpg in the highways, and 24 mpg combined, making it the most efficient in the group. The 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan shares an equal of 30 mpg on the highways with the Toyota and 23 mpg combined with the Kia Cadenza and the Buick LaCrosse. Although the Charger manages to do better than the Kia and the Buick on highways, it does lag behind both in terms of city mileage.

Dodge has done a good job of keeping the classic muscle car vibes intact while making the cabin modern for today's standards. The front seats of the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan are as roomy as you would expect in a big sedan. The seats are made from a mix of leather and suede upholstery for improving support while driving. The back seats are quite roomy as well but it could have been better with the absence of the huge driveshaft tunnel.

All the cars have a similar capacity of 5 passengers. The Kia Cadenza exceeds the others in terms of front passenger headroom and legroom. While the Buick LaCrosse suffers from the headroom, the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan fails to provide enough legroom.

As for the rear passengers, the Buick LaCrosse dominates with spacious headroom while the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan compensates with spacious legroom although it provides the least headroom as the Kia provides the least legroom.

The regular Charger might not appeal to the ones looking for that muscular and aggressive design but overall, the regular V6-powered trims come with a handsome design language. The SRT Hellcat and the SRT 392 look the most aggressive within the lineup while the R/T gets some extensive blacked-out exterior treatment to indicate its bumped-up performance under the hood. 

When compared to its rivals, the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan is the heaviest, the longest, the widest, and the tallest and has the longest wheelbase and track width as well; clearly, it's the bigger one than the rest! The Kia Cadenza has a fairly balanced set of dimensions. The Buick LaCrosse is the shortest in height and so is the Toyota Avalon, which is also the lightest, shortest in length, least wide, and has the smallest wheelbase.

Dodge Charger vs Kia Cadenza

Defining luxury Sedans for quite some time now, Kia Cadenza is a handsome package of roomy interiors built with the finest quality materials and perks like heated seats. It comes with the only engine choice, the 3.3-liter V6 coupled with its 8-speed automatic transmission sending power to its front-wheel-drive system. 

Safety tech like Forward Collision Warning, blind-spot monitoring, Rear Park assist, adaptive cruise control and automated emergency braking ensure a composed ride. In comparison with the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan, Kia has a slightly less powerful engine and a much slower acceleration. It needs to work on its braking as well as it does with its fuel economy. It has spacious interiors than the Dodge and slightly less cargo space.

Dodge Charger vs Buick LaCrosse

The Buick Lacrosse satisfies its loyal customers and attracts new buyers at the same time as it delivers like a competent Sedan with its V6 engine and adaptive suspension. It provides floating-ride quality and comes studded with loads of tech including an infotainment system compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

Up against the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan, the Buick enjoys a better engine performance although it lacks behind significantly as far as acceleration is concerned. The stopping power of the brakes isn't anywhere close to the Dodge as well, unlike the fairly similar fuel economy. The interior seating area and cargo space are comparably decent as well.

Dodge Charger vs Toyota Avalon

The very affordable Toyota Avalon is represented by its original luxury and quiet riding experience. The standard V6 engine cruises phenomenally and the handling is quite agile given the size of the car. To make it even more tempting, Toyota offers standard safety features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automated emergency braking.

When we compare the Avalon with the 2017 Dodge Charger Sedan, we see that it falls behind terribly in engine performance and acceleration, braking is nowhere close to being impressive, has better fuel efficiency ratings though, and decent interior and cargo area.

The 2017 Dodge Charger has become our instant favorite and all we can say is go for it! Even in its basic form, the sedan offers a strong performance along with an optional AWD layout for enhanced practicality. The V8-powered models of the car might not go easy on your pocket when it comes to gas bills but they will assure you a memorable experience every time you step on the gas on an empty stretch of road. The comfort factor is not entirely lost but the sedan's rivals such as the Kia Cadenza and the Buick LaCrosse offer a better and more comfortable cabin but are no match to the Charger in terms of sheer road presence and performance.
