I love this car this is only cheap car in Canada I can buy used 2022 for like 38k and AWD I saw some used with barley any km like 20k km which is basically new almost second hand Prices here for cars are ridiculous but a full package car like this for 38k Canadian is basically the only full package car I can find for this price I mean nice V6 AWD sedan Even th r8 isn't that much more like 50k but I don't need gas sucking engine with traffic here in Toronto busy city This V6 with AWD is amazing I wanted an SUV but honestly this car is calling me to buy it I fell in love with it it's making me give up the SUV which we need because I love it
Really the no go part is the 2.62 gearing I seen a 3.92 gear in a 9” rear on a charger sxt and it’s acceleration was pretty wild. Not like a scat pack. But rivaled a stock 5.7 stock tune to stock tune
I had the 2021 GT in white but sold it earlier thIs year for an SUV. It's a great daily driver but I needed more cargo space. I was pleasantly surprised by the fuel efficiency. The rear camera really needs an update cause the resolution is terrible.
How big was the storage on it because im used to having a smaller jeep and was curious if i could even fit my fishing gear in a charger as im looking for something slightly more efficient
Tbh the only benefit I see from suvs is internal height . Otherwise the chargers have fairly big trunks and cabin space is roomy . And you can drop the seats in the back if you need more room . Subs use weak engines for their size often and are clumsier with barely any more useful space . I like the idea of an suv but fuel economy and pricing for barely a huge difference doesn’t seem worth it.
I booked a Challenger R/T at the Oakland Airport at Budget car rental and they got me into a Challenger GT. When I turn on the car, it didn't have a rumble what get out of a HEMI. I pop the hood it's obvious you have the Pentastar 3.6L V6. I told the rental car company I rented a V8 and they got me into a Mustang GT 20 mins later. Overall, I rented a non GT Charger before and it drives like a regular car. The front grill makes it look aggressive (a little), but it's a regular car that can drive at highway speed.
The SXT AND GT PKGS ARE NO SLOUCHES. IT'S MEANT TO BE A FUEL EFFICIENT ECONOMY SPORTS FAMILY CAR AND THEY'RE ARE MODS OUT THERE FOR WHOEVER WANTS TO SQUEEZE AN ADDITIONAL 60 PONIES OUT OF THE RELIABLE PENTASTAR V6 WHICH SAVES MONEY AT THE PUMP.
Ding ding ding. Winner winner chicken dinner. Got one for my wife and our 3 kids. Tired of my Sequoia that only gets 15mpg. This is funner and still roomy enough.
I had the 2019, EXACT color and specs. I had an accident in it 2 days ago and it's written off :( . I just can't imagine buying anything else, other than an upgraded charger. Any idea if there's a huge difference in fuel economy vs. a 5.7 HEMI? thanks
You really don't get that much better mileage with the V-6 or the V-8 5,7. I would say only 2-3 mpg. I personally would look at the 5.7. Because the engine has more power, it would be more efficient. And the V-8 has better resale value. The only downside is, you won't be getting AWD--unless you buy the Police version. And you can't buy one of those new.
Don't regret getting my 21' GT. It looks nice and has decent power but i don't care about speed at this point in life lol. However, they tend to be a bit pricey just like the rest of the other dodge/chrysler cars
The 8 speed makes these things fun. I had a 20 Charger GT but now have a 21 300 Touring L and they both drive quick and Nimbel for its size. And the Hellcat logo on the Screen is a option on the screen to have as your Background, there's other things Dodge related that you could choose besides the hellcat.
Just bought one and im in love I personally love it and is my daily Also to anyone it’s probably better to remove those splitter guards as it left some bad marks on the lip
@@tylerb7355 nope not so far everything is great been driving it everyday to work gas is way better than what I expected too sometimes i get 22mpg according to my dash
@@tylerb7355 yes used im the second owner wont believe it but the car only had 6024 miles i ended up getting it for around $37000 a great deal mine is silver with the blacktop package meaning i have the black spoiler badges and the grey wheels
No, believe it or not the 2.5 Stinger is actually more competitive with the 5.7 version of the Charger. Both have mid 5 sec 0-60 and high 13, low 14 second quarter mile times.
@@slow_rednline4874 lol yeah ok. Like a car with 1.6 is going to beat a car that's 3.6 with 300 HP that was oh yeah made to go in a straight line that's backed by Toque Flight Racing Trans. The V6 Mopars are much faster than you think my friend.
I have a 2020 GT AWD. I know first hand it's faster from 60 to 90 MPH than a similar Scat Pack. The SP aero bits may actually be hurting it in a straight line. I know it can do a 4 wheel burnout (sometimes). I feel like that's an electronic limitation more than a powertrain limitation. Mine doesn't have a hellcat logo in the climate control.
Sure. Your R/T has more power. I'm just saying a GT is an amazing awesome car. I also have adaptive cruise control which you probably don't have, and AWD which you DEFINTELY don't have. I have sport mode, launch control, 1/4 mile timers, AC seats, nav, wifi onboard internet, and everything else you have. I also get over 20 mpg all the time, and over 30 at 80+mph driving cross-country. What do you get? 10? The GT is a great car. I sacrifice about 60 hp and get everything else. Pretty good trade.
One of the best things about this trim level is that they give you a spare tire. Hard to believe that the Scat Packs were listing for about $43,000 only 4 years ago. Let's Go Brandon!
I just bought my 2021 Dodge Charger sxt like 4 weeks ago with my own money and then today someone swerved me off the road and made me ram into a guard rail and both airbags deployed 🥲 I miss my baby

If you want v8 awd charger, then you can only buy used police charger up to 2020 model year, or 2014 R/T trim
You would probably also look at a Durango R/T with AWD too.

It’s 1 year later how is it holding up ?
@@GregorySaunders-bv4xt Amazing! ❣️
It’s a nice car but personally I’d at least want a V8.
Depends on your situation and your use for it.
If you want AWD you have to get the V6 unless you are in law enforcement but that comes with a 5.7 liter V8 and a 5 speed auto .
Id be a buyer with a hemi in it
