2023 Dodge Charger GT

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 GT sits above the SXT with the same 3.6L V6, adding the performance suspension, 20-inch wheels, and a sportier look that make it feel sharper than the base car. Its 3.6L V6 makes 300 horsepower and pairs with the eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, giving you a smooth, responsive daily driver that returns 21 mpg combined. The GT's standard performance suspension with Bilstein shocks and paddle shifters means it handles corners with more composure than the SXT, at the cost of a slightly firmer ride.
