Used 2022 Dodge Charger for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2022 Dodge Charger cost?

Prices have softened 15.30% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 149 listings available, which suggests you have a modest amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Dodge Charger a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Dodge Charger earns 4.58/5 from owners and an 8.00/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its powerful performance, spacious interior, and enjoyable handling. The Charger also stands out for its strong personality and practical everyday usability, especially if you want a performance sedan that still feels roomy and distinctive.

The main trade-offs are its poor fuel economy and aging interior, and the low-quality backup camera is another drawback. For you, that means the Charger makes the most sense if you value acceleration and presence more than polish or thrift.

Only 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the better examples may not linger long.

Is the 2022 Dodge Charger reliable?

Owners rate it 4.58/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a car that many drivers feel good about living with over time, with praise for its powerful performance, spacious cabin, and enjoyable handling. The same feedback also suggests that some buyers see it as a dependable choice for daily use when they prioritise character and capability.

The expert test-drive data also supports that impression by showing a car that feels composed and well sorted in normal driving, with a drivetrain and chassis setup that can handle both relaxed commuting and harder use. The first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house, which helps early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the Charger’s age and performance focus can bring higher running costs and more wear-related concerns than a newer, more conventional sedan.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Dodge Charger?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SXT comes with a V6 engine, power-adjustable front seats, rear parking sensors, cloth upholstery, a six-speaker stereo, and a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The GT adds a rear spoiler, sport-tuned suspension, performance tyres, an Alpine premium stereo, navigation, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen. The R/T is the most affordable V8 model, while the Scat Pack 392 adds a larger V8, launch control, a high-performance suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, Brembo performance brakes, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. The Hellcat and higher trims add supercharged power, upgraded brakes, and more premium cabin equipment.
• Powertrain: The V6 makes 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque in base form, or 300 hp and 264 lb-ft in SXT AWD and GT trims. The R/T uses a 5.7-litre Hemi V8 with 370 hp and 394 lb-ft. The Scat Pack 392 gets a 6.4-litre Hemi V8 with 485 hp and 475 lb-ft. The Hellcat uses a supercharged 6.2-litre Hemi V8 with 717 hp and 650 lb-ft, while the Redeye and Jailbreak push output even higher. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and the V6-powered SXT and GT are also available with all-wheel drive.
• Safety package: The Charger offers only a backup camera and rear parking sensors as standard equipment. Available driver-assistance features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, rain-sensing wipers, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: The Charger comes standard with a 7-inch Uconnect touchscreen, while an 8.4-inch version is optional on the base SXT and standard on the rest of the lineup. Both screens include Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: The most efficient configuration is the V6 with rear-wheel drive, at 12.4 L/100 km city, 7.8 highway, and 10.3 combined. The V6 with AWD returns 12.8 city, 8.7 highway, and 11.0 combined. The 5.7-litre V8 returns 14.7 city, 9.4 highway, and 12.3 combined. The 6.4-litre V8 returns 15.8 city, 9.6 highway, and 13.0 combined. The least efficient setup is the supercharged 6.2-litre V8 in the Redeye and Jailbreak, at 19.0 city, 11.5 highway, and 15.6 combined.

Which 2022 Dodge Charger trim should I buy?

The 2022 Dodge Charger is offered in 7 trim levels: SXT, GT, R/T, Scat Pack 392, Hellcat, Redeye, and Jailbreak.

Here's the short version:

• SXT: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Charger’s core look and usability with the standard V6, a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, rear parking sensors, and a practical cabin. It makes sense if you want the least expensive way into the model.
• GT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds sportier hardware and a larger 8.4-inch touchscreen while staying with the V6. You also get the Alpine premium stereo, navigation, a rear spoiler, sport-tuned suspension, and performance tyres.
• R/T: Choose this if you want the first V8-powered Charger. It keeps much of the GT’s equipment but adds the 5.7-litre V8, so it is the right step up if engine character matters more than value.
• Scat Pack 392: This is the sweet spot for buyers who want serious performance without jumping to the supercharged models. It adds the 6.4-litre V8, launch control, a high-performance suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, Brembo brakes, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.
• Hellcat: This is for you if outright power is the priority. It brings the supercharged 6.2-litre V8, upgraded brakes, and the more performance-focused setup that makes the Charger feel like a true high-output sedan.
• Redeye: Pick this if you want even more power than the Hellcat, along with improved engine cooling. It is the more extreme choice for buyers who want maximum straight-line performance.
• Jailbreak: This is the most powerful version in the lineup, with the supercharged V8 tuned even hotter. It suits buyers who want the most exclusive and most aggressive Charger experience.

The safety package is limited on lower trims, so if driver assistance matters to you, look closely at which features are standard versus optional before you buy.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Dodge Charger?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully and enough deal activity to reward patience.

• Deal availability: 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 149 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.30% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $35,697 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Dodge Charger's resale value?

The current average of $35,979 CAD sits slightly below last year's $42,479 CAD.

That drop suggests the market has become more favourable for buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to price more competitively to stand out. If you own one now, the softer pricing trend can work against you in the short term, especially if your car is not in especially strong condition or well equipped.

On the other hand, the Charger’s distinctive performance-car appeal helps it remain desirable to a specific group of shoppers. That kind of demand can support resale value better than a more ordinary sedan, particularly for well-kept examples with sought-after trims.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.58/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Dodge Charger safe?

The Charger earns a Marginal rating in the driver’s side overlap test from IIHS and a five-star overall safety rating from NHTSA.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

The Charger’s standard safety equipment is limited to a backup camera and rear parking sensors, which is a clear sign of its age. Available driver-assistance features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, rain-sensing wipers, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.

The main caveat is that the Charger’s crash-test performance is middling by modern standards, and the standard safety suite is thin compared with many newer rivals.

Should I buy a 2022 Dodge Charger or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.30% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.58/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 keeps the Charger’s old-school muscle-car character with strong performance and practical everyday usability.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $29,615 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $35,979 CAD average.
• It offers budget-friendly muscle-car appeal with a roomy cabin and easy manoeuvrability.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $46,448 CAD, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $35,979 CAD average.
• It adds final-year drama, special-edition send-off models, and a more memorable end-of-run feel.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, performance, and availability, the 2022 is the primary path to consider. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the better value play, while the 2023 suits you if you want the final-year Charger experience and are willing to pay more for it.
