Dodge brought back a fam ous
model name from its muscle-car past
with the launch o f the C harger for
2006. From 1966 to the early 1970s,
Charger coupes were am ong the
most pow erful-and m ost recog
nized- m uscle m achines on the
market. Chargers equipped with the
legendary Hemi V-8 engine cap
tured the im agination o f countless
young drivers.
The flavor o f the A m erican
muscle car is evident in the 2007
Dodge Charger, yet it has its own
unique, m odem character. The up
dated styling and fastback design
create a modem statement o f power.
In its m odern rendition, the
Charger is a 5-passenger sedan and
not a coupe. T he 2007 D odge
Charger is a fresh execution of
modern m uscle with convenience
of 21st century D aim lerC hrysler
technology.
Our Dodge Charger R/T AW D
offered the Boston Acoustics audio
systems: A M /FM /six-CD /cassette
stereo with MP3 capability; DVD-
based navigation system: and a rear-
seat Video Entertainment System.
Standard features on the R/T model;
SIRIUS Satellite Radio with first-year
subscription provided by SIRIUS
and power adjustable pedals.
The inside o f the C harger is
marked by attractive, m inim alist
styling that, by offering nothing
terribly interesting to look at, helps
reinforce the notion that this car
should be driven with a focus on
the road ahead,
The 2007 C harger has the sleek
aggressive stance o f a panther on
the prowl. T he profile o f the 2007
C harger's roofline and sloping fast-
back style suggest a sense o f speed,
w hile the front end is strong with a
sinister sneer.
Boasting the longest w heelbase
in its class, the C harger provides
g e n e ro u s p a sse n g e r an d ca rg o
space to m eet the dem ands o f ac
tive lifestyles. New for 2007 are the
optional all-wheel-drive models that
offer four-season traction with a
38/62 front/rear torque split-stan
dard on the R/T A W D : providing
excellent cornering balance.
The deep throaty growl o f the 5.7
liter Hemi engine is rem iniscent of
the classic m uscle car. T h e5 .7 -liter
Hemi V-8 in the R/T produces 340
hp and 390 pounds-feet o f torque
and delivers a 0-60-m ph at just-a-
hair less than 6 seconds.
The 2007 Dodge C harger has the
Hemi pow er expected in a C harger
w hile answ ering the need for fuel
efficiency without sacrificing per
form ance. The Hemi V-8 MDS sys
tem allow s the pow erful V-8 engine
to alternate between four- and eight-
cylinders to boost fuel econom y by
as much as 20 percent providing a
fairly respectable 17-city 24-high
way mpg.
All models have a five-speed au
tomatic transm ission that incorpo
rates an AutoStick feature for manual
gear selection. AutoStick provides a
full range o f transmission perfor
mance to match a variety of driving
styles and situations.
D odge C h a rg e r 's in te g rate d
safety and security features provide
exceptional occupant protection on
the road. All Dodge Charger models
