Description
The 2016 Dodge Charger is a full-size performance sedan that fuses classic muscle car aggression with modern sophistication, featuring a prominent crosshair grille, sculpted fenders, and available 20-inch wheels for an imposing, athletic stance.
Powered by a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine producing 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, it delivers responsive acceleration through an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, with optional all-wheel drive on SE and SXT trims for enhanced versatility.
Higher trims escalate with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 in R/T models offering 370 hp and 395 lb-ft, a 6.4-liter V8 in Scat Pack and SRT 392 variants churning 485 hp and 475 lb-ft, or the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat’s 707 hp and 650 lb-ft for blistering 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds.
Fuel efficiency peaks at 19 mpg city/31 highway for V6 models, dropping to 13/22 for the Hellcat, while adaptive suspension and Brembo brakes on performance trims ensure composed handling and confident stops amid spirited driving.
Safety garners a five-star NHTSA overall rating, bolstered by standard stability control, antilock brakes, seven airbags, and optional forward collision warning, lane departure alert, adaptive cruise, and blind-spot monitoring via the Technology Group.
The interior impresses with premium cloth or available Nappa leather seating, heated/ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and Uconnect on an 8.4-inch touchscreen supporting navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HD radio, and a 900-watt Harman Kardon system.
Rear passengers benefit from 40.1 inches of legroom and a class-competitive 16.5-cubic-foot trunk with folding seatbacks, while acoustic glass and active noise cancellation foster a quiet, refined cabin for daily commutes or long hauls.
