There aren't many full-size family sedans like the Charger. It's a rear-wheel-drive muscle car with an available V-8 engine. The Charger was redesigned for 2011 with more aggressive exterior styling, a revised interior and a new base V-6. There were more changes last year including a newly available eight-speed automatic and the return of the SRT8 model with a 470-horespower, 6.4-liter V-8. The Charger competes with the Ford Taurus.

New for 2013

An available cold-air induction system and sport exhaust increases the V-6's output to 300 hp on select models. The V-6's standard output is 292 hp. A Pitch Black painted roof is optional, and the 3-D map and route-guidance graphics for the optional Garmin-based navigation system have been improved.

Exterior

The Charger always has been an aggressive-looking car. It all starts in front with a grille that has a lot of tension in its design and contributes to the furrowed look of the headlights. Hood and door scallops provide visual interest and add to the sedan's muscle-car feel. One of the Charger's signature elements is its rear-end styling. It incorporates full-width illumination when the headlights are on and helps make the Charger as distinctive from the rear as it is from the front. Additional exterior features include:

Standard 17-inch aluminum wheels; 18-, 19- or 20-inch rims optional
Standard halogen headlights; high-intensity-discharge headlights optional
Standard dual chrome exhaust tips
Standard LED taillights
Standard acoustic windshield and front side glass for reduced noise
Optional fog lights
Optional heated side mirrors
Optional power sunroof
Optional rain-sensing windshield wipers
Optional rear spoiler

Interior

The Charger has a tall dashboard and an available 8.4-inch touch-screen system. As part of the car's redesign, the roof's leading edge was shifted rearward a little, making it easier to see stoplights when you're first in line. The Charger has a relatively large backseat that's accommodating for adult passengers and features a 60/40-split folding backrest. However, the sloping roofline means taller passengers' views out the side windows are limited. Additional interior features include:

Standard cloth upholstery; leather optional
Standard dual-zone manual air conditioning; optional dual-zone automatic air conditioning
Standard cruise control; adaptive cruise control optional
Standard 4.3-inch touch-screen CD stereo with USB and MP3 ports
Optional 8.4-inch touch-screen system with SD card reader
Optional Garmin-based navigation system
Optional Beats by Dr. Dre premium audio
Optional heated and cooled cupholders
Optional front and rear heated seats
Optional ventilated front seats
Optional heated steering wheel
Optional Bluetooth connectivity

Under the Hood

The base engine is a 3.6-liter V-6 that's rated at 292 hp or 300 hp, depending on the model. The optional 370-hp, 5.7-liter V-8 features cylinder deactivation to save fuel under light loads. Mechanical features include:

Both engines run on regular gas
Standard five-speed automatic transmission; eight-speed automatic available for V-6 models
Rear-wheel drive standard; all-wheel drive optional
Three suspensions available: Touring, Performance and Super Track Pak
R/T Road & Track Package includes a 3.06 rear axle ratio and performance calibration for the engine and transmission
