Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2010
Dodge Charger is a large sedan available in SE, SXT, R/T and SRT8 trim
levels. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while the SXT and R/T are available with
all-wheel drive. Standard equipment on the SE includes 17-inch alloy wheels,
air-conditioning, full power accessories, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel,
keyless entry, cruise control and a four-speaker stereo with a CD player and an
auxiliary audio jack.
Stepping up to the SXT nets you a larger V6 engine, 18-inch wheels, a 60/40
split-folding rear seat, fog lamps, heated mirrors, power-adjustable pedals, a
power driver seat and an upgraded six-speaker sound system with satellite
radio.
The Charger R/T includes all the SXT popular equipment group items as
standard and adds the big 5.7-liter V8. The SXT and the R/T share much of the
same optional equipment. The protection group adds Bluetooth, self-sealing tires
and side airbags.
The SXT DUB Edition adds 20-inch chrome-clad wheels, DUB exterior badges,
embroidered leather seats and a 13-speaker Kicker sound system.
The R/T popular equipment package adds 18-inch chrome clad wheels, a compass,
a trip computer, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and a surround-sound
audio system. Xenon headlights are a stand-alone option on the R/T.
The SRT8 is equipped a lot like the R/T with the road/track package, but adds
the bigger Hemi V8, high-performance brakes, a hood scoop, a limited-slip rear
differential and different exterior trim.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2010 Dodge Charger is available with four engines, one for each trim
level. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional on the SXT
and R/T. The base SE gets a 2.7-liter V6 that produces 178 hp and 190 pound-feet
of torque.
A four-speed automatic is standard. Fuel economy with this engine is 18 mpg
city/26 mpg highway and 21 mpg combined. The SXT is powered by a 3.5-liter V6
good for 250 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. This engine gets a four-speed automatic
with rear-wheel drive and a five-speed auto with all-wheel drive. Fuel economy
ratings are 17/25/20 mpg with RWD and 17/23/19 mpg with AWD.
Safety
Anti-lock disc brakes, traction control and stability control are standard on
all Chargers except for the base SE, which has them as options. SXT, R/T and
SRT8 models can be equipped with self-sealing tires, front-seat side airbags and
side curtain airbags.
Interior Design and Special Features
The styling is on the bland side, however. The seats are very comfy, and
those included with the road/track package and in the SRT8 provide lots of snug
lateral support. The Charger's large size and long wheelbase translate into a
generously sized cabin with plenty of rear legroom.
