The 2018 Dodge Charger Power and Safety

For model year 2018, the Dodge Charger trim level names and standard equipment have been shuffled, with a few new tech features added across the board. It's fun to drive, with its legendary engines and performance, but, it's also practical for families and professionals, with a cavernous trunk for storage, a comfortable and roomy passenger cabin, and a ton of modern-day safety features.

There are a number of ways to customize your Dodge Charger, with plenty of trim level options and engines available. The 2018 Charger starts Bryan drivers out with a V6 engine, and it goes up from there. Depending on the trim level you choose, your new Charger could come with any of the following powertrains:

Regardless of which trim level and how much power you prefer on your 2018 Dodge Charger, you can expect each sedan in the lineup to come with the legendary safety and reliability the carmaker is known for. Given a five-star overall safety rating by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, this version of the Charger will get you where you're going not only in style, but also safely.
