Performance:

The 3.6 L V6 turbo charged rear wheel drive engine is sporty tuned machine. The mainstream flow definitely tells that it has the racing spirit. The recent test of the car showed some fantastic results. It has properly aligned suspension with a smooth steering wheel. This allows a steady road grip for concentrated driving.

Such specifications are pretty common for the race track vehicles. But Dodge has offered something in an extravaganza.

The reduced mass of the car allows more acceleration and speed. The recent test showed that the car stopped from 173 – 0 feet at 70 – 0 mph. The Goodyear has created an excellent difference in the grip along with modern braking techniques.

The sports suspension provides a good quality sports drive. It is absolutely in accordance to a sports vehicle. Generally, the American vehicles lack the transmission technology and they are pretty heavy over the paddle. But Dodge has spent some more time on improving the shift system. The reward is its smooth gear box, which doesn’t allow a single flick over the road.

Since 2011 a lot of R & D has been done to improve the performance of the car. Some models of the franchise had been sent back to the Quality Assurance department for performance improvement. A thorough study of the road and environment has made this muscle to boost quality power.

Exterior:

No comprise has been done in terms of the exterior of the car. Dodge has maintained a significant history of the muscle car production. With slight modern looks, the 2016 Dodge Charger (seventh generation) gives the same muscular look.

It has been equipped with 20 – inch Goodyear Eagle Tires, which provide good ground clearance. For the sake of cosmetics a spoiler and black accents have been added. Though they do have some physical effect, but more likely they are for the beauty.

A revised version of the Charger comes with a black top. But it is an investment of another $1000. The erotic headlights give a thrilling effect. Certainly, it seems like they are built to frighten the spectators at a high speed.

Alloy has been used pretty decently in the design. Alloy panels for the skirting of the car are used which help in reducing the mass of the car.

Putting heavier things in a car doesn’t make it a sports car. Things are to be aligned properly to match up the speed with acceleration. This is where Dodge Charger takes the credit. From front to back, the whole car has stiff engineering for performance. And this is what the exterior narrates.

The looks of the car have impressed the police department in the states as well. A dozen of Dodge Charger 3.6 L has been acquired by the cops for high-speed pursuit.

Interior:

Family sedans are thought to have huge seating capacity. This is what makes Dodge Charger more attractive. It has the seating capacity of 5 passengers. Beside that the interior is enough huge to rotate the child seat forth and back.

Most of the speedy vehicles don’t offer much space in the trunk. But Charger has sufficient space to place all of the picnic equipment.

The front seats of the car are pretty comfortable. They are pre – heated with ventilated power fronts and a bucket-shapedped. All the seats in the car are leather covered with elegant design and exotic colors.
