2012 Dodge Charger Test Drive & Car Review

http://www.autobytel.com/dodge/charger/2012/ The 2012 Dodge Charge represents the second generation and with it comes a nice facelift. The 2012 Charger has a much better looking front end including cool headlights and grille. The car looks sleeker and meaner compared to the previous model. The suspension has been completely reworked. In fact the 2012 Dodge Charger is essentially brand new from the ground up. When you opt for the more expensive Charger models, you get a nice big Hemi engine and cool appearance package that includes gigantic 20 inch chrome rims.

The 2012 Dodge Charger is a real muscle car that sports a V-8 engine and RWD. Now there are 3 different trim levels and the base model costs $29,496. This SE model comes with a 3.6 liter V-6 that makes 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft. of torque while getting 18 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway. What's great about the base V-6 model is that you can have the cool sporty muscle car look for a reasonable price and the engine is no slouch either!

But step up to the Hemi V-8 engine and things start to get interesting. The 2012 Dodge Charger R/T starts at just under $30k and comes packing a 370 horsepower 5.7 liter V-8 Hemi engine. The Charger R/T gets 16 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. The big daddy model is the SRT-8 which gets an even larger engine that displaces 6.4 liters and produces a whopping 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. of torque! This car gets 14 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway but who cares when you can out accelerate any other sedan on the road.

The new 2012 Dodge Charger not only looks the part of a 4-door muscle car, it has the power to back it up. The Charger is a great example of what a muscle car used to be and it sets the bar for what a 4-door muscle car should be.

@liyuran yeah i agree with you. 

[asianfoodface]

good car but NOT a true enthusiast's muscle car. This guy mentions the original charger alot. Until dodge releases a charger with a manual transmission, this is still a fake muscle car but a good normal car.

who else makes a domestic 375 HP family sedan?

[geedee3]

@liyuran Calm down, no need to compare a big four door sedan to a little nimble pony car, they aren't in the same category.

@yeahitsabigone no he is touching the seat.

[liyuran]

someone correct me if i am wrong. a 5.7l engine produces 375hp considered a gd engine??? r u kidding me or i am ignorant!? look at ford, v6 305hp, 5.0 412hp and don't mention the mpg!!! 375hp from a 5.7?? and at what range do i get that kinda power? g37, 3.7 330hp...etc...
