No other American sedan has the same combination of performance, comfort and muscle car style as the 2022 Charger. Acceleration is quick and the brakes are reassuringly strong, but the vague steering feel and the suspension's sensitivity to midcorner bumps hamper overall handling. Scores for convenience and utility are also middling.

2022 Dodge Charger Review
Pros
- Powerful V8 engines available, including the one for 707-hp Hellcat
- Trim levels and graphics packages allow for plenty of personalization
- Infotainment is user-friendly and features a large touchscreen
Cons
- V8 engines can be thirsty when driven with enthusiasm
- Sloping roofline impedes visibility and backseat access
- In fit and finish, it lags some competitors
What's new
- New Jailbreak package for the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody
- Part of the seventh Charger generation introduced for 2011
Overview

With news of Toyota discontinuing its Avalon and no real competition on offer from its fellow domestic brands, the Dodge Charger nearly has the whole full-size sedan segment to itself. Despite that, Dodge continues to offer a wide array of engines, performance and personalization options for the Charger and shows no sign of letting up, even though its big sedan is getting a little long in the tooth.

Whether you prefer leisurely or lunacy, the Charger's got you covered. And Dodge has also made sure that all buyers, no matter what kind of driving experience they're after, can tailor the Charger to their needs as well as their personality. We're big fans of the Charger and you can read where we think its strengths and weaknesses lie in our Expert Rating below. Other sedans to consider are the punchy and practical Kia Stinger, the sophisticated BMW 5 Series and the ultra-modern Tesla Model 3.
Edmunds Expert Rating

Average
7.4
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Dodge Charger on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8/10
How does the Charger drive? This is a big and heavy car that gets going in a hurry, at least with one of the V8 engines installed. Our Scat Pack test car covered 0-60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. Braking performance is also excellent. In town, the pedal response feels a bit soft at first, but short stopping distances inspire confidence. On our test track, a simulated-panic stop from 60 mph took just 102 feet.
Through high-speed corners, the Charger stays surprisingly flat. Unfortunately, it's not a very engaging experience since you don't feel connected to the car. Notably, midcorner bumps can degrade stability and cause a lot of movement at the rear of the car. The overly sensitive gas pedal is also a problem. Flex your big toe and the Charger bolts off the line. The only remedy is to be super gentle.

Flex your big toe and the Charger bolts off the line. The only remedy is to be super gentle.
Comfort
7/10
How comfortable is the Charger? The Charger's front seats provide plenty of bolstering and lumbar support. They'll keep you comfortable on a long road trip and keep you in place when the road gets twisty. The rear seats are also well contoured with similarly supportive padding.
On the downside, we could feel just about every bump in the city and on the highway from our Scat Pack test car. Base Chargers will ride a little more softly. There's a fair amount of road and tire noise at highway speeds too. Everything is damped down by a lot of sound insulation, but the Charger is no hushed highway cruiser.

Interior
7/10
How’s the interior? The Charger is spacious on the inside, especially in the front. The back seat fits adults well too. There's enough head-, hiproom and shoulder room for at least two adults and one kid in the back. It's much roomier than a two-door muscle car.
The Charger's wide roof pillars impede your view. The small rear window and sloping windshield also affect visibility. You can see out of the car while moving forward relatively well, but it's nearly impossible to truly look through a corner on a curvy road. The sloping rear roofline means you'll have a hard time getting into and out of the back seat without grazing your head.

The sloping rear roofline means you'll have a hard time getting into and out of the back seat without grazing your head.
Technology
8/10
How’s the tech? Dodge's Uconnect system is one of the best around. It responds quickly to inputs and catalogs music collections with lightning speed. An optional 19-speaker stereo drives up the price quite a bit (we'd skip that option), but the voice controls and navigation are excellent.
A collection of driver safety aids, such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation and lane keeping assist, are part of the optional Technology Group. All work pretty well. The adaptive cruise control's following distance is relatively conservative.

Storage
6.5/10
How’s the storage? The trunk is decently sized, but there's a high liftover height and the space narrows significantly toward the back. Non-performance-oriented competitors in the midsize segment do much better. The door and center console pockets are relatively small, and they're paired with small can-size cupholders. Rear seat storage is limited too.
Car seat anchors are hard to see in all three seating positions. The back seat is wide enough for bulkier child safety seats, and there's generally enough space to fit them behind the front seats, but the Charger's low roof makes it difficult to load a seat and attend to a child.

Fuel Economy
5.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The Charger is definitely not the car you buy for fuel economy. The big 6.4-liter V8 is better than the supercharged Hellcat engine, but only marginally. The EPA estimates 18 mpg combined with the 6.4-liter engine. We averaged 19 mpg on our 115-mile evaluation route.
Value
6.5/10
Is the Charger a good value? Most of Dodge's development budget went toward what's under the hood of this car. Build quality is good but not great. Nothing was rattling or squeaking in our test car. But lots of the plastic interior surfaces feel a bit cheap for the price point.
As far as the ownership experience goes, expect to spend a lot of money on gas if you've got a V8-powered Charger. Warranty and roadside assistance coverage is average.

Wildcard
9/10
You'll find fewer brute-force muscle cars on the road these days, and pretty much none are equipped with a big non-turbocharged V8 and four doors. The Charger with its optional engines and many customization options really is in a class of its own.
If your idea of fun is blasting tunnels, chirping the tires, and setting off with eye-watering speed, then this car in this configuration will be right up your alley. It's no sports car, but it handles curvy roads well too. Everywhere you drive the Charger (except the gas pump), you'll be smiling.

2022 Dodge Charger trim level differences
The 2022 Charger is available in five major trim levels: SXT, GT, R/T, Scat Pack and SRT Hellcat Widebody. All Chargers use an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, though the SXT and GT trims offer all-wheel drive as an option.
Which Charger trim does Edmunds recommend?
To get the most bang for your buck, we heartily recommend the Scat Pack for its raucous 6.4-liter V8 engine and wide array of customization options. Of those, we'd strongly suggest the Widebody package, not only to give the Charger an even more menacing stance but because it adds an adaptive suspension, high-performance brakes and wider, grippier tires. Other options to consider are the Navigation and Travel and Driver Convenience packages.

2022 Dodge Charger R/T 4dr Sedan (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
I smile everytime I open the garage and see it. The reported fact that the day looms where the 8-cylinder combustion engine version of this American classic is discontinued is a shame. Electric and American Muscle should never be mentioned in the same sentence.
Is it the greatest on gas? No. But there are no shortage of examples of vehicles, many of which are much pricier get far worse … fuel economy.
I want to hear the engine growl. If you're in the market for a gas friendly, eco friendly vacuum cleaner of a vehicle...you probably weren't looking in the direction of the Dodge Charger in the first place.
The 2022 Dodge Charger R/T isn't just a beefy full size, it's a highly respectable daily driver. Ample leg room, smooth comfortable ride, and a well above average stock stereo system.
And in my opinion...the sexiest body in all the land...with more than enough punch under the hood to remind most other vehicles on the road that you're there.
American Muscle forever.

2022 Dodge Charger Scat Pack 4dr Sedan (6.4L 8cyl 8A)
It's the end of an era, folks. Our telephones have transformed into video camera-wielding computers, shopping malls have been replaced with Amazon.com home delivery, and cars are rapidly transforming into electric, multipurpose people movers. By 2024, the longtime pulse of the American automotive industry, the eight-cylinder engine, will disappear from most vehicles.
Well, I heartily … recommend taking the opportunity to be your own "Mad Max" Rockatansky and enjoy one of "the last of the V8s." The Scat Pack version of the RT is a people mover that MOVES. Just starting the car and hearing that 6.4 liter beast ignite moves your soul. 485 HP is probably a lot more than you will ever need but the satisfaction of knowing it's there, ready to make tires bark and heads jerk at any speed, can't be easily met by any battery powered vehicle, regardless of how fast it may be.
But there's another reason to buy the 2022 Dodge Charger Scat Pack. It does double duty as a well-mannered family sedan with four doors and seating for five, a spacious trunk, and a laundry list of safety and convenience options. The seats will accommodate drivers of all sizes comfortably, even on long road trips.
No, it's not a fuel efficient vehicle. No, it's not an ultra-refined European touring car. But it's the last remnant of the American driving experience that probably made you love cars in the first place. Driving this car in traffic is like being a big, growling bear running in a herd of rabbits, gazelles, and stallions. You aren't as graceful as they are, but you could devour them at will if the instinct hit...and they all know it, deep down inside.
Last chance to be the bear, folks.
Nice quiet and luxury car with sporting touch.

2021 Dodge Charger GT 4dr Sedan (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
The interior of this car is so quiet, between 59 and 63 Db, I have the GT plus, and can tell that even when is a sport car it looks more like a luxury car with all the leather it has, the dash is stitched with leather too, like a sport car suspension is firm but a the same time is smooth, and when you take the curves is very exciting, compare with other cars I think is the best price, … you can feel the 300 hp, before drive this charger, I tried camry and accord and with all due respect, can't be compare them with charger, the only difference is the gas mileage but is minimal, for those persons looking for a nice quiet luxury car try the new 2021 dodge charger GT before buy any other, good luck.
After 10,000 miles still the same, nice and quiet car, I heard some people saying that this car is so stiff, and the only thing I can respond to that is;
1- Is a sport car, suspension has to be a little bit stiff, but no like others cars, I think this one is the best on its class.
2- Most of the people buying chargers never check pressure tires, including the guys from the dealers, when I received my charger, the pressure on my tires were 44 psi, any other car with this pressure is going to have an horrible ride, even trucks, so please when you drive any new car for your first time, check the label on the side of your driver door and adjust your pressure as needed, my recommendation is to adjust them first thing in the morning. In my case my charger says 32 psi and I've been checking on a few friends and looks like nobody cares, but most of the people keep the tires with a lot of pressure, any ways dodge charger GT runs amazing, is so quiet and looks like a luxury cars( the GT/PLUS)and I am very happy with it, thanks.

We love this car. It had plenty of power and comfort but still has that sports car look. The all wheel drive for us is a must. There is plenty of room and the gas mileage is fantastic. It’s our perfect car.
