The Dodge Charger (2014-present) offers American muscle car appeal with modern convenience and technology. Its aggressive styling and powerful engine options make it a popular choice for those seeking performance and presence on the road.
Common issues include potential oil leaks, particularly around the oil cooler lines. Suspension components, especially the front struts and ball joints, can wear out prematurely. Electrical glitches can also occur, affecting the infotainment system and other features. Ensure the vehicle is compliant with NZTA standards for lights, reflectors, and other safety equipment.
Check tyres for wear, ensure they are of the correct speed and load rating for the vehicles. Pay close attention to compliance with NZTA rules. All lights must be compliant. Brakes are also a concern given the size and performance of the vehicle.
The Charger's strengths lie in its powerful engine options, ranging from V6 to V8, and its distinctive styling. It offers a spacious cabin, making it a practical choice for families. However, its size can be a disadvantage in urban environments.
