The 2022 Dodge Charger is a good sedan with ample passenger space and cargo room. It also has a powerful engine, and the handling is decent. Like most large sedans, the Dodge Charger offers comfortable seating and an advanced infotainment system.

The Dodge Charger is a unique sedan because it combines performance and comfort. Only a few American sedans can rival the Charger. The vehicle has quick acceleration and strong brakes, but the steering and suspension are sensitive to mid-corner bumps.

After Toyota announced they were discontinuing the Avalon, the Dodge Charger became the face of the midsize segment. Apart from Toyota, no other major brand has produced a midsize sedan that could rival the Charger. Despite that, Dodge hasn't shown any signs of retiring the Charger. The marque continues to offer a wide range of engines, performance, and personalization options for the car.

The Charger is unique because it caters to all buyers, regardless of what driving experience they're after. It has the most horsepower that one can find in a four-door sedan. The only sedans that can rival the Charger are the Kia Stinger, the BMW 5 Series, and the Tesla Model 3. However, these vehicles are from a different segment

Let's find out more about the 2022 Dodge Charger.

The Charger Has Good Performance And Decent Handling

Under the hood, a V8 engine produces 485 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission powers the Charger, and rear-wheel drive is standard. There's also an optional V6 that produces 370 hp and uses all-wheel drive.

The models with the V6 are still powerful, but lack the punch that front-wheel cars like the Nissan Maxima offer. According to My Car Specs, the V8 trims can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 125 mph. And the V6 models can reach 60 mph in 6.8 seconds, with a top speed of 153 mph.

The Charger excels on the road, cruising around towns with ease. The sedan can handle most surfaces, but obstacles like railroad crossings and potholes can disrupt the ride. Furthermore, owners have praised the Charger because it can handle most corners, and its brake pedal is responsive.

The Charger has an electrically assisted power steering that helps with balancing the car. However, its feedback is too heavy and slow to be engaging.

Compared To Other Large Sedans, The Charger Offers A Better Interior

The Charger has a spacious cabin, especially in the front, and there's enough headroom and shoulder room in the back to fit two adults and one child. The front seats offer plenty of bolstering and lumbar support. They'll keep you comfortable on a long road trip and in place when the terrain gets rough. The back seats are also good, with similarly supportive padding. The Charger is much roomier than a two-door muscle car like the Ford Mustang Bullitt.

The Charger's wide roof pillars restrict your view, and the sloping windshield also affects visibility. Owners have complained that looking through a corner on a curvy road is impossible. Furthermore, the car has a sloping rear roof line that makes it hard for passengers to get into and out of the back seats without grazing their heads.

The only flaw is that some trims are not that comfortable. Owners have complained that they could feel every bump on the highway with the Scat Pack model. However, the base Chargers provide a better ride and handle the bumps better. The car allows a fair amount of road and tire noise into the cabin, but not too much. The sound isolation feature works well with reducing most of the noise.

The Charger has a decent amount of trunk space, but there's a high lift over height, and the space narrows toward the back. Rivals like the Chrysler 300 offer more cargo space. The door and center console pockets are small, and Dodge paired them with small can-size cupholders.

The Dodge Charger Offers An Advanced Infotainment System

Dodge's Uconnect system is top-tier and one of the best in the market. It responds quickly to inputs and opens music collections with lightning speed. There's a 7.0-inch display screen that works well and features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Furthermore, there's an optional 19-speaker stereo, but it's quite expensive.

The sedan has a wide variety of safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. They all work well, especially the adaptive cruise control system.

Nowadays, with so many car segments, it's hard to find brute-force muscle cars on the roads. The ones around don't even have a big turbocharged V8 and four doors. However, the Charger is different as it's the only car fulfilling the wishes of muscle car enthusiasts while providing optional engines and many customization options and with a starting price of $32,645, it's a great consideration for gearheads.
