2018 Dodge Charger

How many trims are there and what separates them?

What makes the Charger such a fun shopping experience is the incredible number of trim options available to choose from. 2018 offers ten different trims, each with a large variety of both standard and available amenities. The base trim, for example, offers standard 17-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry and ignition, a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, a power-adjustable driver seat, 60/40-split folding back seat, the user-friendly Uconnect infotainment system (with 7-inch touchscreen), Bluetooth accessibility, voice controls, and a bumping six-speaker sound system with satellite radio. This can be upgraded with the stylish Blacktop package which incorporates a black Decklid spoiler, a gloss-black instrument panel, 20-inch wheels, and a performance steering wheel with black paddle shifters. Then there's the SRT 392 which comes set with such features as high-performance brakes, an adaptive suspension, xenon headlamps, blind-spot monitoring, and eight-way power front seats, just to name a few. Dodge also offers several enticing upgrade packages such as the Plus Group package which comes with a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, illuminated rear cup holders, sport leather-trimmed seats, and bifunctional high-intensity discharge projector headlamps.

Why is the Charger capable of such high-performance standards?

The Dodge Charger comes outfitted with one of four engines.

3.6-liter Pentastar V6: This classic work of machinery comes as the line's base engine (standard with the SXT, SXT Plus, GT, and GT Plus) and is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It will give you access to 300 horsepower, 264 lb.-ft. of torque, and a reliable 30 mpg.

5.7-liter HEMI V8: A legend among motors, the HEMI balances an increase in power (jumping up to 370 horsepower and 395 lb.-ft. of torque) with the steady efficiency of 25 mpg highway. This poised V8 comes standard with the R/T and Daytona trims.

392 HEMI V8: Standard with the Charger R/T, Scat Pack, Daytona 392, and SRT 392, expect your performance to take another steep rise if you spring for the 392 HEMI. Owners will receive 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque while going from 0-60 in about four seconds.

Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI SRT Hellcat V8: The crème de la crème of muscle engines is this swaggering metallic beast. Featured exclusively as the standard engine for the Hellcat trim, the 6.2-liter V8 exerts power on par with the mythical Olympic standards set by men who fought in the skins of lions. No other sedan is going to provide you with the feeling you get while driving with the tamed authority of 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque.

What kind of safety features are there?

As important as power is, a sense of safety and security is necessary if you want to be able to access the kind of peace of mind required to truly enjoy the Charger. Thankfully Dodge's reputation is built on more than just engine performance. The frame is made with high-strength steel and combined with side guard door beams in order to protect passengers in the case of an accident. Advanced multistage front airbags are supplemented with full-length side-curtain airbags, and front seat-mounted side pelvic-thoracic airbags for standard security. Safety is further amplified by several available features that help to maintain awareness and limit the statistical probability of an accident ever beginning. For instance, lane sense departure warning helps warn and steer drivers if they wander outside the lines and advanced brake assist analyzes information received from the forward collision warning system and exerts extra pressure if needed.
