Road Test: 2011 Dodge Charger

[@MrSixxshooter]

I think the car is drop dead gorgeous !! It's got the sexiest rear end of any car on road right now in my opinion . I get nothing but compliments when in driving my new RT . The interior and the new class leading 8.4 uconnect entertainment system is absolutely brilliant and extremely easy to use surprisingly . Dodge has really done a fantastic job . Keep it up guys .

[@highlife0586]

I first saw this car and I was hooked. I bought a R/T AWD with the 5.7 liter Hemi in black crystal pearl coat. Other than a glitch in the keyless entry system it has been trouble free so far. Keep up the good work Dodge.

How's it held up since you wrote this comment?

The 2011-2014 charger was probably the most successful production sedan dodge has EVER made.

[@extremedrivr]

But we all know the real Charger is a 2 door Muscle Car. Which means this one doesn't count because they added 2 extra doors that don't belong. Lol

[@oklol9]

@@extremedrivr ok but it’s still under the name “charger”. So no matter what they do with it, it’s still a charger. They could transform it into an SUV for all you know but it’s still a charger whether or not you like it.

[@extremedrivr]

@@oklol9 Its still not a charger. Why is this so hard for people to understand?? Lol The last charger rolled off the line in 1974. There hasn't been one since.

[@oklol9]

@@extremedrivr it may not be a “Charger” in the roots but it’s still NAMED charger. So obviously there’s some relations between the 2 versions. Plus, I actually like the 4 door.

[@extremedrivr]

@@oklol9 I never said I didnt like the 4 door because its has roots. You obviously understood what I was getting at with the roots it has not linking up with the charger nameplate. Basically all I am saying they need to do is put the Coronet nameplate on it and it will be a proper car in its roots at that point. Or else delete the 2 extra doors and keep the Charger nameplate on it. Not hard for them to do except that they are lazy. Lol

[@Mr1987Lu]

the cops in my area got this charger as a part of their new fleet... damn they look good

[@fernandorocha8459]

Dodge Charger is car of police

[@snakehandler87]

This was the best model of the new chargers

[@19541973j]

Just ordered the new 2013 SXT PLUS Charger with the new 8 speed. 18 city 31 Highway. Can't wait!

[@TonyBlanco170]

I got the 2012 blacktop edition, 25 mpg am averaging, all while getting from my best time 0-60 in 6.3 seconds with absolutely no mods. The V6 model is a winner!

[@ChuddleBuggy]

With its sexy good looks and v8-like power from its V6, this car sits right in the crosshairs of the Nissan Maxima.

[@lightningbuster]

Damn I want one of these. Can't get much with a newspaper delivery job though...

[@BigWheel.]

Start selling methamphetamine.

[@TaurusSHO97]

@ZSwierczynski Yes the 5.7 V8 is a carryover, but the the 3.6L Pentastar V6 is all new. They dropped the old 2.7L and 3.5L V6

[@76carmel]

@ginsunh I actually like that grille; it gives the Charger an aggressive, menacing appearance. Its cousin the Chrysler 300 has a redesigned grille with horizontal lines. I don't know if Motorweek has done a test with the 300, but other pages around KZbin has tested it. Check it out.

[@offdatgogo]

I didn't care for the last model too much. This one I would own. Nice job Dodge.

[@ryanmax-grappler8654]

I love the back lights at night. So retro and cool

[@TheSpritz0]

FINALLY MotorWeek testing a car that is NOT the highest trim level!!!!!!!

[@Cali_Lux_Cruiser]

Looks great!

[@TheCarArchives96]

the 2011-present Dodge Charger is assembled in Brampton, Ontario, Canada

So

[@nicholasmemoli3886]

That car looks great in that cooler

[@UInACrash]

Physically I didn't think they could make this car better looking then the previously generation... I'm glad I was wrong.

[@76carmel]

@AhJotahTube You're right. It compares to larger cars; for Dodge, with Accord and Camry, the Avenger compares to it. The best comparison would be the Taurus; however, it'd compare the Taurus SHO and the R/T V-8 AWD. That'll be a great comparison test.

[@jjlwis]

I've noticed that, it is odd, but it's for a reason... maybe to see the flasher better? A lot of new car's do that now

[@76carmel]

@timforsyth89 And with the 8-speed auto, the EPA estimates for fuel economy? 20 city/ 31 highway for a rear wheel drive auto. And all wheel drive Pentastar vehicles which will debut next model year? 18 city/ 27 highway for all-wheel drive. It's comparable to crossovers right there. And not bad for a vehicle that weighs around 4300 lbs.

[@76carmel]

@vwmatt33 Sadly for 2012, Toxic Orange isn't available.

[@poppaschlong2000]

4:31 doing 74mph on a rural road LOL

[@lobsterwhisperer7932]

If only they imported this to Australia, but at least we got the 300 srt8

[@typhoon5000]

That's the 2012 Charger btw.

[@xstang55]

Where are the acceleration and handling time? I am disappoint.

[@timforsyth15]

465 horses, is that the 392?

[@mustang8206]

Man I want one

[@mattlaw8020]

I have a 2014 with AWD and it’s a solid cruiser. Chargers are one of the last big sedans on the road today. If you can find one in reasonable shape I’d say go for it dude

[@ZSwierczynski]

Isn't the Charger engine from the old one? Or they put a new motor in it?

[@forsnuggles]

The old Dodge Charger engine was a 3.5 liter v6. The 2011 revamp came with a brand new and more powerful 3.6 liter v6. The old engine was around 260 hp and the new 2011 puts out around 300 hp.

I could never get one of these because Chryslers are still made very cheap. I saw a new Charger last night that already had semi burnt-out tail lights.

For some reason I do not know Iike these old cars and old videos. Dodge Charger V8.Simple as that. Just grab some chips and cold Cola,and drive this thing.

[@BluStatic]

It looks better from the back. The front is ugly.

[@blackice7408]

BluStatic what about the newer dodge charger and challenger models

[@ginsunh]

Dodge needs to abandon the gun sight grille. Its sole reason for existing was to differentiate a Caravan from a Voyager, or a Reliant from an Aries. Now that Plymouth is gone, that ugly grille is not needed.

[@otsenres1636]

4 doors...😂

[@1979irock]

I prefer the XLE V6 Toyota Camry over this gas guzzler
