We load up on the significantly updated dodge charger!

Its 2021, and Charger is still the sportiest 4 dr on the road.

What a stunning looking car. Such an improvement on the old model, that looked incredibly crude.

I wish I could could get one in England.

I don't get why every American car that wasn't designed exclusively with a ruler is automatically described as having "European styling".... I'm European and this looks nothing like a European design, which is a good thing. American cars look aggressive, that's their unique characteristic, regardless if it has curves or straight lines, this dodge is definitely aggressive. It looks like a goddamn cobra on wheels.

I like the new look as well as the previous model. Still one of my favorites.

Just bought a 2019 Dodge Charger AWD SXT with 300 horsepower. Love the car !

The 2015 Charger R/T did 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, and ran 13.6 @ 105 mph through the 1/4 mile in Car & Driver, for those who didn't see the article.

Test drove an rt and loved it..waiting for used ones to come around before I get one.

Recently bought this as the R/T with Road and Track package with Black/Red-Black color scheme. Love this new car. I've been driving Germans for a decade now and this is my first American car since the early 00s. Wow, what an improvement Americans have made since before the recession. I will disagree with the reviewer on one point: the SD card slot is AWESOME! I loaded all my favorite music on to a 16GB SD card and now I hardly ever listen to the radio or XM! My only real gripe with this car is the Nav's keyboard is disabled above 4mph. Meaning I can't change my course or add a custom destination while cruising. How about enabling the keyboard if there is a passenger!? Other than that, it's a great ride!

My sis was looking at a 2015 charger sxt or sxe+ (not familiar with the trim levels). the dealer let her barrow it for the day, and she asked me to go with her to take it back. She didn't end up buying that one, but we went to go look at another one on the other side of town that had 18k mi on it and was $$ cheaper. Go figure, they didn't have it. She was looking at another charger and really wanted one with the moon roof, but like any good brother would, I convinced her that a V8 was a better choice than a moon roof. She ended up getting a Charger R/T fully loaded (except the moon roof) and the thing is SICK!

Rented one in 2016 for a road trip from North TX to Maine. Great rider and beautiful handling, smooth ride, and quiet. Rented a SXT but had option for R/T. Had the rental been local or less of a drive I would have taken it. I didn’t want to risk getting the oil change messages during middle of the trip and even worse swapping out and getting a downgrade. SXT with the 3.6 and 8 Seed Automatic transmission, had a fairly constant low 30’s MPG and occasionally mid 30’s...yes even cruising in the mid 70’s. Depending on your driving habits I would not have any concerns about stretching 500 miles or plus from one tank on the 3.6. I would estimate conservative very close to 450 miles per tank for a 5.7 HEMI.

I want to see more footage of Ben Davis and Greg Carloss freaking out before the automatic braking kicks in

Darty front. Intrepidy rear. Charger profile. 5 years later and still a great looking design.  Sold 400K of them so they'll be around for a good decade more used.

"AWESOME CAR" w/RT (Road and Track Option)

[LOCDHONAN]

A MONTH AGO I JUST PURCHASED A 2015 CHARGER RALLYE EDITION.... THREE UPGRADES AND I HAVE A 400HP MOTOR FROM THE 300 HORSES, ,,, LOVE THE SPORT A 5.0 MUSTANG RIGHT AT THE LIGHT HE DID CATCH ME

[latinorama]

I love my 2016 sxt Plus Package, it has every single luxury item that you need for a great price.

[TBird]

While I'm not jumping for joy over this refresh, I don't hate it. It still has the Coke bottle shape from the side. The taillights.. you could say they look like the Dodge Dart... or more like the current Viper's. The front end does bare a resemblance to the Dart, but without that black section of the lower grille not as much. The slimmed down grille isn't as aggressive, but ok. Wish they didn't keep the cross hair, a 69 style grille center would look better. Looks more like the discontinued Avenger than a Dart in the front if you ask me... don't like the 68-70 style scoops being replaced by the Avengeresqe bulges. Interior they got right, with only minor tweaks to dash and technology. Like the 3 piece flat spoiler better than the raised spoiler it replaces. Less of a blind spot in the back.

[wiibaron]

Charger body with a Dart front and a Intrepid rear look. Looks good together.

[mhs]

This is just a big Dodge Dart, I'm disappointed with the new redesign. Especially since the Charger lost its mean and aggressive front facia we've all come to know and love!

I just had a 16 R/T with the standard 5.7, with a 280 mile loop, and my leadfooted ass behind the wheel as a rental for work. I was pleasently surprised with an average of 25.2 by the time I got back home. Yes there was mostly highway driving, but traffic and speeds were mixed due to construction, rush-hour, and climbing a mountain. I don't get NEARLY that in my 2015 Fusion 1.5 Ecoboost. It's a nice car, but you pay dearly in outward visibility for those aggressive and muscular lines. A backup camera, sensors, and blind spot system as standard equipment across the board would me much appreciated. Though so would Enterprise not filling the tires to 50 PSI when the car calls for 32.

I like the newly 2015-facelift Dodge Charger, but mostly every time I see one, they remind me of the seventh generation Dodge Charger, which was basically the Charger I grew up with in my childhood. I still very well miss it, though.
