2014 Dodge Charger Power and Handling

The 2014 Dodge Charger is available with three engine choices, and reviewers say that even the base V6 engine provides a pleasing amount of power. You don't need the Hemi V8 to get the 2014 Charger sedan moving in a big hurry. The base 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 makes 292 horsepower, and the uprated version is 300.  The current Dodge Charger is based on the same Mercedes-derived platform used for the Chrysler 300. The base Charger comes with a five-speed automatic transmission, but most reviewers recommend the optional eight-speed automatic, saying that the V6 and eight-speed transmission provide a refined driving experience and good fuel economy. The Charger's well-tuned suspension ensures that most impacts barely register in the cabin. The optional eight-speed automatic returns an impressive 31 mpg on the highway with the V6. The Charger is engineered and built for some serious driving.

Design of the '14 Charger

The 2014 Dodge Charger has four doors and is a bit larger than the average midsize sedan. The current Charger is available in five trim levels. The Charger's got ample room for 6-footers front and back, though rear headroom can be a bit tight. Check out the 8.4-inch touchscreen interface, which is both easy on the eyes and intuitive to operate. Standard equipment on the SE includes 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, keyless ignition/entry, cruise control, dual-zone manual climate control, a six-way power driver seat, 60/40 split-folding rear seats, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and a six-speaker sound system plus an iPod/USB audio interface. It's hard to find fault with Dodge's big sedan, especially when you consider how much bang for the buck it provides.

Conclusions

Popularized by NASCAR dominance the Dodge Charger is one of America's most revered performance nameplates. The current Dodge Charger may not be the two-door muscle car you remember from the '60s, but it does a fine job of being a modern interpretation. The 2014 Dodge Charger is a great all-around car at a great price.  For more information about this vehicle, please visit the official Dodge Charger website.
