Fans of “The Dukes of Hazzard” and “Bullitt” have fond memories of the Dodge Chargers of the late 1960s. But those long, low, and lean coupes had two doors, not the four found on the 2007 Dodge Charger.

One year after Dodge reintroduced the legendary Charger nameplate on a family-sized four-door sedan, the instantly popular new car continues to line Chrysler’s coffers. Four trim levels are available: the Dodge Charger SE, SXT, R/T, and SRT8. And if you need more cargo space than the 459-litre trunk can provide, be sure to check out the Dodge Magnum, which is the same car with a wagon body style and different front styling.

For the 2007 model year, a lower-priced version of the Charger SE equipped with a smaller 2.7-litre V6 engine joins the lineup. All-wheel drive (AWD) is a new option for all but the high-performance SRT8 version, offered exclusively with rear-wheel-drive (RWD).
