The Dodge Charger’s story dates to 1966, when the car debuted as a racy fastback version of the brand’s Coronet model. The 1968 and ‘69 Chargers are perhaps best known in popular culture for memorable movie and television appearances. 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.
2011-2026 Charger
The Charger was restyled for 2011, but its basic rear-drive mechanicals remained the same (all-wheel drive was available on some models). The base engine was now a 292-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6, while R/Ts ran a 370-hp, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8; an SRT8 with a 470-hp,

2006-2010 Charger
Though classic Dodge Chargers always had two doors, the 2006 reincarnation was a full-size sedan that, in essence, replaced the Intrepid in Dodge’s lineup. A product of the DaimlerChrysler years, this roomy sedan shared some under-the-skin engineering with an earlier Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
