While we do remember the 60’s 2-door muscle car, the new models kept the formula and enhanced the ride quality as much as possible with improved comfort and practicality.
The Dodge Charger shared the same platform with the Dodge Magnum and the 300C, however, it offered a roomier interior and an enhanced ride.
What differentiated the Charger from the two siblings was the “less powerful” engine available for the SRT8. The Charger started straight with a 3.5-liter V7 powerplant that developed 250 hp.
The Charger was available in a sedan body shape only and offered two trim levels, the base SE and the R/T.
The base level came with 17-inch steel wheels, air-conditioning, keyless entry, cruise control, ABS and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel.
An additional package was available for the SE and added aluminum wheels, a better audio system, leather-wrapped steering wheel, fog lamps and chrome accents inside and out.
The R/T came with the incredibly powerful 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine with 340 hp, along with dual exhaust pipes, bigger brakes and leather upholstery. The alloy wheels were brought to 18-inch.
More packages were available, such as the Daytona R/T package and a Road/Track Performance Group. The latter excluded the cosmetic details added by the Daytona R/T package and was less expensive.
The interior offered great room for both the front and the rear passengers. The styling was not out of the ordinary, however, the dashboard had a clean design and the controls were intuitively placed and easy to use.
