2008 Dodge Charger Review
The 2008 Dodge Charger sedan gets a mildly freshened interior this year. This large sedan shares its basic design with Chrysler's 300 sedan and the Dodge Magnum wagon. Charger is available with V6 and V8 engines and rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. SE models have a 178-hp 2.7-liter V6. Optional on SE and standard on SXT versions is a 250-hp 3.5-liter V6. R/Ts have Chrysler's 340-hp 5.7-liter Hemi V8. High-performance SRT8s have a 425-hp 6.1-liter Hemi. The 5.7 V8 has Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System cylinder deactivation. All Chargers have an automatic transmission: a 4-speed on SEs and rear-drive SXTs, a 5-speed on all others. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. SRT8 models have specific trim and uprated brakes. Power adjustable pedals and a wireless cell phone link are available. Also optional is Chrysler MyGIG Multimedia, which has a 20-gigabyte hard drive for storing pictures and digital music files. The Road/Track Performance Group option gives R/T versions 350 hp and adds 20-inch wheels and special suspension tuning. An optional Daytona R/T package includes the Road/Track equipment, a performance exhaust, and unique trim. Among other changes are a subtly redesigned dashboard and revised interior trim.
Competition
Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large Cars comprise the biggest passenger sedans and wagons. Large inside and out, they offer lots of metal for the money and are dominated by domestic brands.
Our Best Buys include Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Dodge Magnum, and Toyota Avalon. Our Recommended picks are the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable.
New for 2008 is the Pontiac G8.
The Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable replace the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego, and both models have more power and have been restyled for 2008.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
The 2.7 V6 is tepid and requires lots of room for passing and merging. Dodge says 11.3 sec 0-60 mph. The 3.5 V6 is fine in town and has good passing punch. Dodge says it does 0-60 mph in 9.3 sec with rear-drive. No opportunity yet to test Charger with AWD, but similar test AWD Dodge Magnums with the 3.5 V6 feel little different from rear-drive versions. R/T has ready power from any speed; a similar test Magnum R/T did 0-60 mph in just 5.8 sec. The extra 10 hp of the R/T Performance Group is pretty much undetectable. Multi-Displacement System switches between four and eight cylinder operation without interrupting power flow, but some testers say it causes a slight driveline shudder. SRT8 models are bona fide muscle cars, reaching 60 mph from a stop in just 5.0 sec.

Fuel Economy
No opportunity to measure with the 2.7 V6 or AWD. In Consumer Guide testing, rear-drive 3.5 V6 models averaged 17.9-21.6 mpg; extended-use-test Charger SXT 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 gas for 2.7 V6, 89 for the 3.5 V6 and 5.7 V8, and 91 octane for the SRT8.

Ride Quality
Generally smooth and 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 are large and easy to read, but the steering-wheel rim cuts into view of turn-signal arrows and gauges for fuel and temperature. Most controls are within easy reach, though some are too low to easily adjust while driving. The navigation system is fairly easy to operate, though some functions could require fewer button presses.

Details
Interior materials are a slight grade below those of Chrysler 300, but are appropriate for these prices, with solid feel and a nice array of padded surfaces.

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

Room/Comfort (rear)
Easy entry and exit. Great room for two. Legoom and foot space are plentiful, even with front seats lowered and pushed well back. Head clearance is tight for six-footers. Enough thigh support for long-trip comfort, but middle rider must straddle bulky driveline hump.

Cargo Room
Charger's trunk is usefully sized and shaped, but a relatively small opening complicates loading bulky objects. The 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 Consumer Guide Best Buy. The 2.7-liter V6 can't move this big car with much verve, but the 3.5-liter V6 provides more-than-adequate power, as does the R/T versions' Hemi V8. SRT8 models are true modern 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.

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%.
