2017 Dodge Charger review

1. Fearsome engine options 

The Charger offers a thrilling range of engines, from a competent V6 to ferocious V8s. Starting at the top, the SRT Hellcat's supercharged 6.2L V8 boasts a jaw-dropping 707 horsepower. Even the base engine is a 292-hp 3.6L V6 and there are plenty of other choices in between, including the 5.7L V8 that can be found on the R/T and Daytona models. 

2. Muscle car good looks 

With its aggressive stance and bold design, the 2017 Charger embodies the spirit of classic muscle cars. The return of the Charger Daytona trim adds unique styling elements and interior trim, reinforcing its iconic status. If you really want to stand out, look for models in Green Go, Yellow Jacket, or Go Mango (a bright orangey-red). 

3. Impressive tech 

The Charger's 8.4-inch Uconnect system is a highlight thanks to its user-friendly interface. With standard Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™, this system will have you cranking up the tunes — when you don’t want to listen to the Charger’s gorgeous engine note, that is. Navigation and BeatsAudio are optional tech features to look out for too. 

4. Performance credentials 

Available sport-tuned suspension transforms the Charger's ride into a more dynamic and engaging experience. The base models tend to focus a little more on comfort but as you climb the trim levels, you’ll find more performance credentials. The R/T and SRT Hellcat not only have powerful V8s but they have stiff, precise handling that’s a whole lot of fun. 

5. Roomy interior 

The Charger is a performance vehicle but it also offers a spacious sedan interior, with ample legroom — 41.8 inches in the front — and supportive seats. There are four doors for maximum practicality alongside 16.5 cu-ft of space in the trunk. This makes the Charger a great option if you want something that performs but can stand up against your daily errands, the carpool lane, and family vacations.
