Overview Information
A fabled name from the past returns in the form of a 4-door sedan. The Charger recalls the legendary Mopar muscle car from the 1960's. No Charger would be complete without a HEMI V-8 (5.7L), an upgrade from the standard 3.5L V-6. Both engines are mated to a 5-speed automatic. Dodge estimates 0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds for a HEMI equipped Charger. A Performance Handling Group sharpens the Charger's reflexes with 18" wheels and tires, tuned suspension, sport seats, and self-leveling dampers. The SRT8 package ups the performance even further with a 425 hp 6.1L V8 and 20 inch wheels and tires.
What Changed:
Updated 5.7L Hemi V8 offers improved horsepower and fuel economy. All-wheel-drive models are now equipped to automatically disengage the all-wheel-drive when it is not required. This results in improved fuel economy for AWD models. Minor equipment changes include a new chromed grille and illuminated cup holders.
