2023 Dodge Charger SXT

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 SXT gives up the V8 power of the R/T for the V6's better fuel economy and lower starting price, while still offering the Charger's spacious cabin and big trunk. This SXT pairs a 3.6L V6 with eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, giving you confident traction in rain or snow and a smooth, quiet highway cruiser that still sounds good when you step on it. The SXT's standard Sport Mode sharpens throttle response and shift points, and the 19-inch wheels with all-season tires are a nice upgrade over the base car's smaller rollers.
