Dodge Charger
The Dodge Charger is an old-school American sedan—long, wide, heavy and powerful. Just like the Challenger coupe, it offers a wide variety of models and powertrains, from a 3.6-litre V6 engine rated at 292 horsepower in SXT trim to a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 that unleashes 797 horsepower in the new Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye. Feeling more reasonable? The “standard” SRT Hellcat model gets a slight boost in output for 2021; it now generates 717 horsepower.
