2021 Dodge Charger SXT Blacktop AWD: Is The Charger Still A Good Value???

[@warrenblazzin35]

[@newgeneration9722]

This AWD handles better then a any AWD out there. Probably because the weight, width and length. I have has AWD 3 series. And many more AWD. This car is the best out there. Probably why most of the state police around the country drive these. The R/T , scat pack can't corner, can't drive on rain or snow. I have a 2021 and best car hands down. They have 8 speed Mercedes transmission and chasis that the e320 rides. and the 3.6 penstar engine. Crash rating 5 stars..... Dependability 5stars

[@steveallen3092]

Thanks for the review Ben. I own a 2012 black Charger SXT. Its my first Dodge and I friggin love it! I'm now a big Mopar fan. My next vehicle will be either another Charger, a Durango, or a RAM of course lol

[@ke6198]

lol that V6 has a little roar to it

[@rickrogers4990]

It's sounds like a v8 a bit sounds better than the ford raptor v6

[@jamesbassett1484]

I rented one last week. You can definitely feel the Mercedes DNA. Nice car.

[@stephenboggs2939]

I really, really like this vehicle. I decided to go with an AWD Highlander, but I was sooo close to getting one of these. Final decision was that I needed a bit extra space for hauling, but I really like a sedan with AWD. Thanks for the video! Always look forward to viewing your channel.

Yep I have a 2021 AWD true blacktop package has the black top also including black spoiler , black wheel s, black mirror s and heated seats, heated steering wheel , heated mirrors, best car like you Said period for a daily driver. 8 speed Mercedes transmission, Mercedes e320 chasis 3.6 penstar engine.

[@dantimber]

@@392brady No problem. I wasn't clear. I was trying to say I wish FCA would offer a brand new 2021 AWD Charger (and Challenger too actually) with a Hemi V8. It wouldn't have to be a supercharged engine, just a V8. I don't know the history very well but I think you're right that the 2014 Charger was the last year AWD (with a V8) was offered to the public.

[@loitersquadX]

Question, is awd better that the other styles ? And why is v6 bad? Should I get a v8 car ?

[@fowlraven9730]

I have 2014 RT and the gas is a killer. Get the V6 it's fast enough.

[@stevee8318]

AWD is for if you live in snowy climates. Obviously V6 has less power, but if you're using it as a daily driver you'll pay 2-3x the fuel cost for one of the V8 variants

[@bryandragon8533]

@@stevee8318 does awd consume more gas?

[@stevee8318]

The AWD system doesn't consume fuel, but AWD vehicles use slightly more fuel because they have to carry the extra weight of the AWD system. But the main issue isn't fuel economy, it's that if you want AWD, Dodge charges you about $3k more (at least looking at sticker price) for AWD over the base RWD version.

No, only when you put it in manual mode or when it senses a potential loss of traction (rain, snow, etc). The only downside is you can't turn AWD off yourself, the car decides

[@vidallopez1800]

How's the audio on it?

The blackout portion of the grille makes the car resembles the front of a Honda Accord. Prefer the body color grille pieces, looks different and sportier.

LED Lighting SUCKS>no 2 ways about it period. Low profile tires suck too. Never get a car with a sunroof - never. Truck space has shrunk from the 08 models. Can't put the wheel chair in the new cars but can in the 08 model. Also, paddle shifters on the steering wheel are definitely in the way. Plus they are a hazard. Really terrible these chargers Do Not come with a standard transmission.
