The Charger also gets a capable RWD, which further enhances the driving dynamics and performance; this said, the Charger will come with a well-built, and the prices will be reasonable as well. The interior is also well-made with good quality materials in the cabin and comfortable seating both in the front and back. A naturally aspirated V6 engine is the powerhouse that runs the show in this sedan. The Charger is such an optimum vehicle that various police departments use the sedan as patrol cars.
Starting at just $29,995, the 2021 Dodge Charger sedan offers rear-wheel drive, an efficient base V6, and powerful choices of V-8 engines. Dodge's muscle car also offers more popular options such as all-wheel drive and modern technology including FCA's infotainment and diverse safety aids. The 2021 Dodge Charger lineup includes eight distinct models and five different engines, including - the award-winning 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 with up to 300 horsepower on the Charger SXT, SXT AWD, GT, and GT AWD models.
The Charger competes in the ever-shrinking segment of full-size sedans along with the platform-mate Chrysler 300, Toyota Avalon, and the Kia Stinger. The 2021 Charger's high ranks in the muscle cars list also stem from its styling packages, wide-body kits, attractive mechanical equipment, and affordable pricing. Dodge offers a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with 370 horsepower on R/T models, and the naturally aspirated 392 HEMI V-8 with 485 horsepower, offering the most horsepower per dollar of any sedan on Scat Pack models. The 717-horsepower 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI SRT Hellcat V-8 and new-for-2021, 797-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI high-output V-8 on the $78,595 SRT Hellcat Redeye.
Considering the package that the Dodge Charger comes with, this muscle car turns out to be a great choice in the segment. The car gets a great design language, comfortable and decent interiors, and a powerful engine gearbox combo. The driving experience of the Charger is worth mentioning here, and with the 2021 update, it will get even better. Overall features available with the car are high, and the package is more value for money than any of its rivals.

Horsepower, I like how loud it is
People trying to race me, The gas mileage
I love my scatpack, everybody always compliments my car it’s loud fast and teal 🔥🔥🔥 I need to do more work on it to increase the horsepower but it’s definitely a car everybody wishes they could own! The only thing I don’t like is it takes premium only gas & it burns gas like crazy I only average 9 miles per gallon!

Both the trims of the 2021 Dodge Charger, SXT and GT are mechanically identical to each other and only differ on the basis of features available onboard. Both the trims are offered with a standard RWD drivetrain, with an optional AWD on offer.

Among the two available trim options for the 2021 Dodge Charger, the GT is clearly a wiser choice to go for. It doesn't increase a lot in MSRP from the base SXT, adding in a lot more features such as the Performance hood, side sills, and fascias, which lend the car an all the way more muscle-car vibe.

"Horsepower ranges from 292 ponies all the way up to 797 with a few options in between. Styling, power and price are really the main big reasons to buy a Charger." - AutoBlog.
The 2021 Dodge Charger gets the same mighty 3.6-L V6 engine under the hood as the 2020 Challenger. The SXT and GT models get a strong 3.6-L V6 engine that churns out 292 hp and 260 lb-ft of peak torque (300 hp in the SXT AWD and both GT variants). This engine comes mated to an 8-Speed AT and has an option between an RWD or AWD drivetrain. The engine is very refined, and the power kicks in from the lower RPMs. Performance, too, is excellent, and enthusiasts will love pushing this engine to its maximum limits.
The mighty 3.6-L-V6 engine accelerates the 2021 Dodge Charger from 0-60 mph in just 6.4 secs. The 2021 Charger is capable of running the quarter-mile in only 14.8 seconds, which proves its American Muscle stature. Dodge has electronically limited the Charger SXT and GT with a maximum top speed of 155MPH, which isn’t bad in everyday life. Even the Chrysler 300 offers a slightly better 0-60 acceleration time compared to the Charger, owing to its lighter curb weight. The 2021 Toyota Avalon is the second fastest with a 0-60 mph time of dot 6 seconds.
The feedback from the EPS (steering) is tremendous, and the driver does feel an instant connection with the vehicle. Push the car into the corners, or drive it in a sedate manner, the engine will always have optimum performance output for every situation. All four wheels on the 2021 Dodge Charger come with ventilated disc brakes along with many features such as ABS and EBD to enhance the overall braking capabilities of the vehicle. The vehicle comes equipped with 12.6-inch front and 12.6-inch rear brake rotors. Overall, the 2021 Dodge Charger performs decently well in the braking department.
