2007 Dodge Charger Review
An all-wheel drive model joins Dodge's large-sedan lineup for 2007. Charger shares a basic design with Dodge's Magnum wagon and Chrysler's 300 sedan. Chargers offer V6 and V8 engines. SE models have a 190-hp V6. SEs with the available SXT package include a 250-hp V6. R/Ts have Chrysler's 340-hp Hemi V8, and the high-performance SRT8 has a 425-hp Hemi V8. The 340-hp V8 has Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System cylinder deactivation. All Chargers have automatic transmission: a 4-speed on 190-hp SEs, a 5-speed on the others. Rear-wheel drive is standard. All-wheel drive is available on SXT and R/T versions; Charger was previously rear-drive only.
ABS and traction/antiskid control are optional on SE, standard on others. Curtain side airbags are available on all. R/T, SRT8, and AWD SXT models have firmer suspension tuning. SRT8s add Brembo-brand brakes and specific trim. Power-adjustable pedals and a wireless cell phone link are available. The Road/Track performance Group option gives R/T models 350 hp and adds 20-inch wheels and special suspension tuning; a Charger Daytona R/T Package adds specific exhaust tuning and trim.

News
Charger is getting a kid brother in the 2007 replacement for Dodge's midsize Stratus sedan. Called Avenger, it shares a platform, powertrain and many features with Chrysler's just-launched Sebring sedan, but looks like a scaled-down Charger. Dodge hasn't released particulars yet, but Avengers should have fewer standard features and lower list prices than Sebring sedans. More news soon, so keep checking back.
Meantime, Dodge says the Charger SRT8 will offer a special cosmetic option reviving the "Super Bee" name from the muscle-car 1960s. The exterior wears "Detonator Yellow" paint set off by black patches on hood and rear deck and large Super Bee logos in the original style. Yellow stitching adorns seats, steering wheel and shift knob.
Further out, sources say the big Dodges and Chrysler's 300 will be "restyled and reengineered" for 2009, which likely means a full makeover. Also expected for Chrysler's LX-platform trio is more parts-sharing with the C- and E-Class lines at corporate cousin Mercedes-Benz. This is said to involve a new vehicle-electronics system and, from model-year 2010, replacement V6 engines designed for higher mpg.
Last but not least is the promised 2008 return of Dodge's early-1970s Challenger "ponycar." Already previewed in concept form, this sporty coupe wears modernized styling on a Charger platform with a 4-inch shorter wheelbase. Dodge will shun an entry-level V6 for 5.7- and 6.1-liter Hemi V8 models. Sources expect prices upstream of equivalent Ford Mustangs. Convertibles are not assured, but might be offered later on.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
The 3.5 V6 is fine in town, and has good passing punch. Dodge says 9.3 sec 0-60 mph with rear-drive. No opportunity yet to test Charger with AWD, but similar test AWD Dodge Magnums with 3.5 V6 feel little different from rear-drive versions. R/T has ready power from any speed; similar test Magnum R/T did 5.8 sec 0-60. Extra 10 hp of R/T Performance Group undetectable. Multi-Displacement System switches between four and eight cylinders without interrupting power flow, but some testers say it causes a slight driveline shudder. SRT8 models are bona fide muscle cars at about 5.0 sec 0-60 mph.
| SE w/SXT pkg. | R/T w/nav. sys. | SRT8 | Class Average |

Fuel Economy
No opportunity to measure with 2.7 V6 or AWD. Test rear-drive 3.5 V6 models averaged 17.9-21.6 mpg; extended-use-test Charger SE with SXT package averaged 19.4 mpg over 6147 miles.
Test R/T averaged 14.6 mpg in mostly city driving, 18.4 with more highway work. SRT8 averaged 14.3 mpg in mostly city driving, 16.9 in mostly highway driving. Dodge recommends 87-octane fuel for 190-hp V6, 89 for the 250-hp V6 and 340-hp V8, 91 octane for the 425-hp V8.

Ride Quality
Generally smooth, composed, but rippled pavement can trigger annoying jiggling, especially in V8 models with their firmer suspensions. SRT8s and Road/Track Performance Group versions are even stiffer, but never punishing.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Linear steering with good road feel. Stable at highway speeds. These big cars aren't nimble in quick direction changes, but they have fine balance and grip in turns, SRT8s in particular. All have confident stopping control, but some testers complain of long pedal travel. Test rear-drive V8 models negotiated rainy roads without undue slip. Similar test rear-drive Magnum R/T was difficult to maneuver in 6 inches of fresh snow, despite traction control and all-season tires. AWD is the recommended solution for all-weather traction.

Quietness
Noticeable roar from V6 during acceleration. V8s make throaty full-throttle growl--SRT8s sound like race cars--but are quiet enough in gentle cruising. R/Ts and SRT8s have more tire roar than other Chargers. Wind rush evident at highway speeds. Note: Charger's Daytona R/T Package includes aggressive-sounding performance exhaust tuning that some testers found tiresome on long trips.

Controls
Instruments large, easy to read, but steering-wheel rim cuts into view of turn-signal arrows and gauges for fuel and temperature. Most controls within easy reach, though some are too low to easily adjust while driving. Navigation system simpler than most to operate. Interior materials a slight grade below those of Chrysler 300, but are appropriate for these prices, with solid feel and nice array of padded surfaces.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Spacious. Ample head and leg room. Generously sized seats, but flat cushions allow occupants to slide during aggressive cornering. SRT8, Charger Daytona, and Charger R/T with Road/Track Performance Group address this problem with sport buckets. SRT8 seats have good lateral support, outstanding comfort. Thick front roof pillars obscure view to front corners.

Easy entry/exit. Great room for two. Plenty of leg and toe space, even with front seats pushed well back. Head clearance tight for six-footers. Enough thigh support for long-trip comfort, but middle rider must straddle bulky driveline hump.

Cargo Room
Charger trunk usefully sized and shaped, but relatively small opening complicates loading bulky objects. Standard split folding 60/40 rear seatbacks enhance versatility, though they don't lay completely flat.

Value within Class
Passenger room, available all-wheel drive, and solid construction make Charger a Best Buy value. The 2.7 V6 can't move this big car with much verve, but the 3.5 V6 provides more-than-adequate power, as does the R/T versions' Hemi V8. SRT8 models are muscle cars.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

NHTSA Crash-Test Results
| Test | Dodge Charger 4-door sedan |
| Front Impact, Driver | 5 |
| Front Impact, Passenger | 5 |
| Rollover Resistance | 4 |
| Side Impact, Driver | 4 |
| Side Impact, Rear Passenger | 5 |
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%.
