A full-size sedan that carries one of the most recognizable nameplates among American performance cars, the 2018 Dodge Charger upholds the model's tradition of combining sporty looks with performance that ranges from decent to outrageous. Even at its most basic, the Charger isn't a garden-variety family hauler. The back seat lacks the roominess you'll find in many of its competitors, and the sportier suspension options tend to make for a firm ride. Still, the Charger survives for a reason: It appeals with the style and performance of a classic muscle car that can still manage a commute to work with reasonable aplomb.
After a major update a few years ago, the Charger retains its retro styling for 2018. Some trim levels have been renamed, with SXT now the new name for the base trim (previously it was SE). All-wheel-drive models also get their own trim name — GT and GT Plus — while Hellcat models feature a new grille design and new wheel and brake caliper finishes. A rearview camera and rear parking sensors are now standard across the board.
Inside, front passengers will find a generous amount of legroom, hiproom and shoulder room, although those in back won't be able to stretch out quite as much. Interior materials on base models are best described as utilitarian, but the latest bells and whistles are either standard or optional, so Charger buyers won't lack for technology. Those who crave a bit more luxury can opt for higher trim levels with available leather upholstery and other upscale touches.
The entry-level powerplant is a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The optional Super Track Pack bumps output to 300 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque. Other available engines include V8s with 370 hp and 485 hp, but for those who want bragging rights nothing less will do than the Hellcat's supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that puts out a whopping 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard in all models.
The entry-level Charger SXT comes fairly well equipped, although the V6's performance is acceptable, if underwhelming. The SXT Plus, still with a standard V6, adds some useful interior and exterior features. The GT and GT Plus trims are similar, but offer all-wheel drive. The R/T, Daytona, R/T Scat Pack, Daytona 392 and SRT 392 pile on more performance goodies. And then there's the SRT Hellcat, with more power than is reasonable for street use. Then again, this is not a car given to reason.
If you think the 2018 Dodge Charger might be the performance sedan for you, let Edmunds help you choose the model that best fits into your lifestyle.

Vehicle SXT 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
Review Car developed a problem at 100 miles and two days into owning it. Dealer - on Chrysler?s so so - has replaced a sensor, two oil pumps, a cam chain tensioner, a PCM, a radiator, and a engine wiring harness. Still not fixed. Car has been at dealer over a month now. Chrysler expects me to continue waiting. No other option. Just terrible customer service!
