Powertrain Options and Availability

Chargers came in three flavors: SE with a 250-horsepower 3.5-liter V6; R/T with a 340-hp 5.7-liter Hemi V8; and high-performance SRT8, carrying a 425-hp 6.1-liter Hemi V8. The Hemi V8 incorporated Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System, which deactivated four cylinders under light throttle conditions to save fuel. The Road/Track Performance Group gave the R/T 350 horsepower, as did the Daytona option. All Chargers had automatic transmissions: four-speed with the V6, or five-speed with V8 power. The 3.5-liter V6 switched to a five-speed for 2007. A 2.7-liter V6, offered all along in Dodge's Magnum wagon, became available later in the Charger SE. All 2006 Chargers were rear-drive, but all-wheel drive became available for 2007.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: 5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%; 1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%; 2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
