2026 Dodge Charger review

Dodge Charger: built for the drive, not the errand. Illustrative review

8.3/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Dodge Charger is a strong contender in its class. Engine note that rewards the throttle; strong brakes. Stiff ride on broken roads and premium fuel recommended, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $55,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Second one we've owned

Bought it for the weekend drives and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.

★★★★☆Terrence M. · Austin, TX · 24 months owned

Better than the test drive suggested

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the steering feel still impresses passengers.

★★★★☆Omar B. · Corpus Christi, TX · 4 months owned

Second one we've owned

Replaced an older Dodge with this one. Big step up in steering feel; I'd like a little more trunk space.
