  • Dodge's updated Charger delivers the unique styling and "tough guy" muscle car looks. The best part is you don't even necessarily need the V8 engine anymore, although we would recommend going with the new 8AT if you decide to go with the V6.

    I don't see any issues with the 3.6. It's sexy and will be easier on the wallet for gas. The car is a panty dropper with either engine.

      You're not a dealer mechanic having to repeatedly replace cracked heads and blown head gaskets in that FIAT V6 engine.
      And really, this white Charger reminds me a whole lot too much of my '03 Intrepid. Same profile and the rear end is really similar.
      This vehicle is NOT in the same market segment as the Toyota Avalon - Toyota's stepping stone to Lexus.

    For those looking for the v6 SE version, they can come with the 8-speed if you look around. It feels quicker, and has better gas mileage.

      Maserati Ghibli 3.6 uses a modified Dodge pentastar 3.6, the same engine used in the Dodge Charger , 300, Challenger. Adding a Turbo increases its top speed to 176 mph, yet the engine can still return over 30 mpg. I love really smart engineering. Add a Turbo or a Supercharger and the dodge 3.6 puts out over 450 hp yet still retains 30+ mpg, I like to drive cars not listen to them, if i want music I turn the radio on, Micheal your a Idiot still thinking that cubic inch Horse power is king ...its not

    I get how these muscle cars are avaliable with V8s and V6s. But first, I don't get why they even offer the V8/V6 in the first place. It ruins the whole muscle car theme, you either get a practical daily driver or a powerful weekend toy. That can't be mixed! Good video

    the motor they put in this thing, with some mods, can pretty much leave any other car in its class in the dirt. The state i live in uses the same model for their poice cruisers. And i have to say, do NOT under estimate this. This engine is in the same realm if not above the 3800 (3.8) V6. It sounds great when you lay into it, when you are puttin around town it has an ECO mode. Which is nice. Because lets face it, at a dead stop 2 tons is a lot of car for a 6 cylinder.

    Funny you say that, I'm tempted to go from a mustang to a charger. My biggest gripes though are if and when I gotta replace the alternator and the battery. Stinkin Mopar puts the battery behind the passenger side or driver's side tire. And it's really annoying when you need to jump start them and can't get a solid connection to direct battery contact.

      I have a 2012 Charger SE.... it has the 3.6 liter V6 with the 8 speed automatic transmission..... Well as we all know... MPG for any vehicle is going to vary of course depending on who's driving and the conditions. That being said... i believe more times than not i'm averaging roughly 22-25 mpg overall (city/hwy combined)... of course i'm definitely one to gun it from time to time....i will say this though.... on the highway at a conservative 60-65mph.... i've actually had the car running at about 38MPG.... which is really nice on long trips...(my wife drove it from Virginia to Kansas when we moved and having to follow me in the moving truck.... she was restricted to going only as fast as i was which was roughly 65mph on average) Of course the terrain will obviously play a major factor...(we didnt get 38mpg going through the mountains and such).. but on relatively flat highway stretches... the charger can most certainly hit at least 35mpg easily and providing the conditions are right can get high 30's for mpg.... hope that helps a little.
