This sedan offers a powerful 5.7-liter Hemi V8, making it quick but returning only 17 mpg overall. The 3.5-liter V6 provides ample performance and returned 19 mpg. The ride is stiff, and frequent ride motions make the car feel unsettled. The overly light steering makes the large Charger darty and demands constant attention, although handling is ultimately secure. The otherwise roomy rear seat has marginal head room. A 6.1-liter, V8-equipped SRT8 is also available. Curtain air bags are standard for 2010. Reliability of the V6 is average, but it scored too low in testing to be recommended. An extensive freshening is due out this fall.

The Charger is a RWD sedan similar to the Chrysler 300. The design takes a toll on visibility and practicality. It's available with a 3.5-liter V6 or a 5.7-liter V8, which got only 17 mpg overall in our testing. Suspension architecture relies on Mercedes-Benz hardware but doesn't shine in ride or handling. The SRT-8 is a high-performance version with the Hemi V8. IIHS crash-test results were poor when tested without the optional curtain air bags.
