2023 Dodge Charger R/T

The 2023 Charger is a full-size four-door muscle sedan, one of the last of its kind, offered with everything from a frugal V6 to a supercharged V8. Its main rivals are the Chrysler 300 and the now-discontinued Ford Taurus, but the Charger stands apart with its available V8 power and rear-wheel-drive layout. The Charger drives with the confidence of a muscle car, offering strong acceleration and a throaty exhaust note, especially in V8 form. The ride is firm, especially with the performance suspension, but the front seats are supportive and the cabin stays quiet at highway speeds. The cabin is spacious with a large trunk, and the dashboard layout is straightforward with physical controls for the climate and audio systems. The R/T is the entry-level V8 Charger, sitting above the V6-powered SXT and GT and below the Scat Pack and Hellcat models. Its 5.7L V8 makes 370 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque, routed through the eight-speed automatic to the rear-wheel drive, and it returns 19 mpg combined. The active exhaust lets you tone down the V8 rumble or let it roar, and the Bilstein shocks keep the big sedan planted through corners.
