The sculpted body flaunts scalloped doors, a dual scalloped hood, and the Dodge Charger throwback styling. The signature Dodge grille features a distinct four quadrant crosshair design with Black Satin inset and chrome surround. It’s the perfect balance of blackout to brightwork. A laser-brazed roof eliminates roof ditch moldings for a purely premium appearance. Standard automatic quad halogen reflector headlamps with Gloss Black bezels or available low beam High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps project light and attitude with equal authority.

Armrests, door trim panels, and the instrument panel all feature soft-touch materials. Stunning LED lighting illuminates the door pulls, center console, and cup holders, and is available in the footwells, map pockets, and overhead console. A uniquely executed aluminum bezel framework for the entire instrument panel cluster provides a seamless flow-through uniformity to its design and encompasses the available 8.4-inch touch screen, the largest in its class. Leave it to Charger to impose a powerful presence inside and out.

The 3.6-liter DOHC Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Pentastar V6 engine draws on advanced automotive engine technology for outstanding power and an exceptional blend of high torque, best-inclass fuel economy of 31 hwy mpg with available 8-speed transmission, low emissions, and first-rate noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) control. The numbers speak volumes best-in-class standard V6 292 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque. The performance story only gets better when Charger’s best-in-class horsepower is coupled with best-in-class 31 highway mpg; that’s mid-size fuel efficiency in a full-size car. The available Charger 5.7-liter HEMI Variable Valve Timing (VVT) V8 engine gives drivers a remarkable 25 hwy mpg. The result is a stunning combination of 370 horsepower, 395 lb-ft of torque, and the best-in-class combination of available V8 horsepower and fuel economy. Standard on Charger R/T.

While the performance is aggressive, the cabin was designed to be inviting. Immediately you’ll notice the premium soft-touch materials, available distinct interior color combinations, and upscale accent finishes. Less noticeable but truly impactful are touches like the dual-laminated windshield and front-door side glass, body-cavity silencing foam, under-flush roll-framed doors with triple seals, and noise-dampening lined wheel wells that work together to keep the cabin quiet. The ride is made even more enjoyable by available heated front and rear seats, a standard six-way power driver’s seat, or the available 12-way driver and front-passenger seats. Standard 60/40 split-folding rear seats with available heat offer not only great flexibility, but comfort too.

Experience the latest in automotive technology with the available all-new 8-speed transmission coupled with a new E-shifter or available die-cast steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for manual shifting capability. Let your hands and eyes wander, noticing the tremendous attention to detail. The center console lifts for the easy access of all passengers and has space for change, travel essentials, and has multiple ports (aux, 12-volt, and USB) for personal electronic devices. A tambour door leads to dual illuminated cup holders with available cooled/heated cup holders that work independently of each other. The sculpted instrument panel features a premium soft-touch finish. A seamless, real billeted aluminum bezel insert runs through the instrument panel, and is used in the center console bezel for a race-inspired feel. All steering wheels have front-mounted backlit cruise and EVIC/customer-programmable display controls, and audio controls located on the rear surface.
