2018 Dodge Charger
The Dodge Charger is a unique vehicle in the muscle car world because it is one of the most powerful, but it is also the only one equipped with four doors. Produced since the ‘60s, the Dodge 
Charger has been redesigned several times, but the current generation (seventh generation design) reinforces the Charger’s capabilities and versatility.
Unlike the Dodge Charger’s close relative, the Dodge Challenger, the Charger has a more refined lineup. The 2018 Charger lineup consists of 11 trims: SXT, SXT Plus, SXT Plus with Leather, G/T, G/T Plus, R/T, Daytona, R/T Scat Pack, Daytona 392, SRT 392, and SRT Hellcat. Of the 11 trims, two of them (GT and GT Plus) are available with all-wheel-drive, which is a trait unique to both of Dodge’s muscle cars.
Engines
3.6L V6 Engine
The 2018 Charger engine lineup includes four engines. The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 engine that generates 300 horsepower and 264 lb-ft of torque. This engine gives the Charger a max fuel economy of 30 mpg on the highway, which is impressive for its power and size. The 3.6L engine is standard on the Charger SXT, SXT Plus, SXT Plus with leather, GT, and GT Plus.
5.7L HEMI V8 Engine
Another available engine is the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine, which is standard on the Charger R/T and Charger Daytona. The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine increases the Charger’s power to 370 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque. To make the engine a little more practical for drivers that want a powerful vehicle that can also be a daily driver, the engine features MDS, multi-displacement system, which helps make the engine run more fuel efficiently.
6.4L HEMI V8 Engine
Standard on the Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack, Daytona 392 and SRT 32 trims is the SRT-produced 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine. The 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine produces 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque, which is pretty significant. The 6.4L engine is a true performance engine and it gives the Dodge Charger a 0-60 mph acceleration time in the low four-second range.
SRT Hellcat Engine
The most powerful engine on the Dodge Charger lineup is the legendary supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI SRT Hellcat V8 engine, and it is exclusive to the Charger SRT Hellcat. The SRT Hellcat engine produces 707-horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, which makes the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat the most powerful four-door muscle car available.
