Following years of being out of production, the Charger name made an unexpected return for 2006, this time as a full-size rear-wheel-drive sedan closely related to the new-for-2005 Magnum wagon and Chrysler 300 sedan. Aggressive styling, muscle-car imagery and available V-8 power helped make the reborn Charger something more than just another ordinary family sedan. Dodge wound down the Charger sedan’s production during the 2023 model year with a run of nostalgic, limited-edition Last Call versions. An all-new, all-electric two-door version dubbed Charger Daytona debuted for 2024, with four-door and gas-engine variants slated to follow.
