My wife actually has the same car in white and she loves it.
It’s a V-6 not a V-8 so stop trying to compare it to a V-8, I’ve rented chargers and challengers V6s and V8s because I go out of time a lot and I end up buying a charger GT and I’m not disappointed, if u want to pay more in insurance, gas and car note just to go 0-60 a second or two faster and here the engine rumble a little louder do it but that wasn’t my goal and I love my GT it’s fast enough for a V6 faster then my 2014 impala and I got plenty of compliments , believe it or not people don’t ask rather it’s a V6 or V8 they just compliment the car but it all depends on what’s important too you!
yeah your right on that
I never get tired or hearing my HEMI rumble, but I can’t lie those V6 definitely aren’t a slouch. I was surprised at how punchy it was around the city.
Agree bro..I wanna buy a 2022 V6 charger too
best comment on here, thank you.
@@EmEs1018 I agree, can compare Chally GT AWD and R/T (5.7) and still it surprises me that the little V6 is not that slow. Of course it lacks the magic sound and low-end torque but it is still nice to drive (namely compared to European normal cars). The interior sounds are in fact not unpleasant too, for a V6 (decent burbling sound around 1200-1500 rpm comes from the back resonators and nice roar around 4 grand). The major difference while normal driving beside the sound is the gas pedal position - you realize that with Hemi you are about to just feather the gas but the V6 needs a bit more dive to metal:-) Mileage is a bit better - it's like where the V6 ends in suburban style of traffic, the Hemi starts on open road. V6 is good daily+ and Hemi for fun - silly European's perspective🙂Of course nothing beats the old-school V8 rumble! Glad to enjoy both while I can...
awesome review Isaac! pov style was good . great job making the review immersive. i do like the standard walk through format though
I live in a part of the world where we get a lot of snow, and RWD, is not good in that weather, so this is perfect for those climates with the AWD
That’s why I got the charger gt! Same reason
The AWD on this platform is really good
Iv always been fine with rwd in heavy snowstorms tbh. It’s kinda fun to rev the engine and maneuver if the snows crazy. I once drove up a super snowy hill, and had to jerk left and right and made it LOL.
Great review! This is the model I would purchase. I'm okay with a V6 and the GT trim appearance and features are nice.
Pretty sure the majority of people who hate on v6 chargers have never driven them at all....
I owned a 2010 3.5 v6 and by no means was that car fast and I told myself I'd never get a v6 charger again....
That was untill I went to upgrade and drove a 2021 3.6 gt and let me tell you the difference was night and day!
I also drove a 2019 rt the same day from the same lot and honestly the speed difference between the rt and the gt was so minimal I ended up buying the gt. And couldn't be happier.
Is it a track racing car, hell no!
But if you want something that is some what fuel efficient and has some get up and go you won't be disappointed....
I dont take my car to a track but I am one for racing here and there at red lights and so far this v6 can run down 90% of cars on the road
I
was wondering what ur average MPGs are?
I am pretty happy with my 2019 SXT PLUS AWD b5 Blue :D
Rather get same options in a Durango. Definitely seems nice quality.. too bad prices suck, I had a 2019 Durango GT AWD with similiar options and it was under $40K new
Good review, Issac. Although the base GT is a terrific value, I find it far less appealing at $50K+. In addition, pairing this Dodge's overt, street-racer styling with the Pentastar V6 does strike me as mildly absurd. Therefore, because I am a fan of Mopar's V6/AWD combination, I would opt for the Chrysler 300 with the same powertrain. Whereas I have probably aged-out of the Charger's retro-racy looks, the 300's classic styling still works for me. Keep up the good work!
Very thoughtful response, I like it!
That's because of markups. The base trim is suppose to be 34k to 36k for the GT with no add ons. Next year there will be no markups since nobody is buying the cars because of the outrageous prices.
Nice Charger, Ike! I love you and your videos! I'll be praying for you!
Didn’t care for the POV style. I find when people do the POV style, their hands are distracting because they’re waving and gesturing with them too much. I’d rather see the car than their hands. Regarding the Charger, I’d buy it in a hot minute! I prefer V6’s. You didn’t mention the gas mileage advantage, or Dodge’s great V6 reliability record.
What’s the gas mileage difference in the V6 vs the V8?
I had the Scat Pack and it obviously has a lot more power, but it's power you can't really use in real-world, daily driving. It had the exact same tires as the GT and looked almost exactly the same. Except for the power, the real difference is the cartoon character logos on the Scat Pack.
No hate to the the channel owner. You have not done your research. The prices of these models are 50k+ because of markups. The markups have been outrageous this year and there has been a statement made that no mark-ups on these vehicles starting next year. The base trim is suppose to be 34k to 36k for the GT with no add ons. Also, you got add ons on yours which is why it probably was 51k. I know your just reviewing the car but this is just a warning for those who watch your video and see this. Thanks for the review!
I absolutely have done my research, I review the car at MSRP. I have no way of controlling at what time and where in the country a dealer will or won't mark up a car, so that is why I go by MSRP.
My 2023 Charger GT PLUS listed for $43,025 I saved over $5K with Dodge and dealer discounts, Bought my car on Sept 12th . Out the door and down the road, all in I paid $41,244. There were no markups, and the discounted price I paid was advertised, not negotiated.
I have a 23 gt rwd plus and she's plenty fast for me blows alot away on the road
thanks for the verse
Economy has forces me to swap my rt challenger for a gt charger. I sincerely like it. Its a bit tough to go from hemi to v6 again. But im not suffering
i just got a base 22 awd sxt and wish i got a gt just for the looks but man 50k for a v6 is crazy, could buy me a 24 mustang gt with that
I use to have a 2012 charger v6 and I miss it, I really want a new charger GT
People that buy this car DON"T want a V8. Stop trying to compare apples with oranges.
Supercharge it.........i would supercharge my Taurus but that thing already get bad gas mileage as it is, i wish they would've implemented an eco mode for the later year models
i have a RT Charger 2007 and a V6 2015... I don't like driving super fast but really just live the bells and whistles... For a v6 2015+ to top off at 158 with nearly 290- 300 HP kinda weird to call it super slow lol
V6 tops at 140. And won't even hit that unless you remove the governor
@@King_Irv thats even super plenty for me...
Bro we jusy going to work and home, lmao @King_Irv
It's nice but I would have to think hard about it cause these cars are not going to sale for a lot for resale not at all
With the 300 hp V6 moving this approx. 4100 pound car, it'll do 14.7-14.8 in the 1/4 mile at 93-95 mph trap speed. It tops out an a COMPUTER LIMITED 131 mph. So in response to your comment "it's slow', no, it's actually pretty spirited/spunky bordering on quick. My wife's 2015 AWD Rav 4 with a 173 hp straight four cylinder is slow, but even that is enough as a daily driver.
I like the gas mileage on the v6 much better than the v8 . Sounds like you love buying gas at any price.
my sister turn signal paddlebroke, and now the windshield wiper keeps on working.
Huh. Thanks for sharing!
300hp for a boat is horrible. Even the Mustang EcoBoost looks better, faster, more reliable and you get cool turbo spools.
But there's no awd
The Challenger is a boat. Your wife is a boat. Speaking of which, how's your wife and my kids?
the V6 Pentastar is not a bad engine but is prone to rocker arm failure (ticking sound), and or overheating due to water pump or radiator failure.
Isn’t hemi tick also a thing
I do not understand why you are comparing it to a V8... compare it to other V6's that are similar. there is no difference from a 2023 GT to a 2023 R/T... It just less cylinders and that's it. You mentioned V8 roughly 100+ times..
Why can’t I compare it to the bigger brother?
That's my issue with Dodge and with this particular model: They over-dressed it, it is slower than it looks, 300hp really isn't that impressive on car like this, it deserves to be faster. Dodge didn't even try to make it 3.7 liters like a lot of its competitors cars' have like Infiniti, Ford, Chevy etc.. There is almost not 1 thing this V6 has an advantage on compared to its competitors in terms of performance. Only advantage is this Charger's Pentastar engine's impressive reliability for it's muscle class, it can indeed take a beating.
I liked your video except when you got to the GOD SQUAD CRAP may the lord be with you 😂
Thanks for the feedback, but I love Jesus too much to stop :)
I have a 2020 GT and get better gas mileage than RT. People dont realize that the step up is RT hemi-, and it's good for 345 HP, basically a second faster than GT.
Unless im buying a scat pack (which basically is a faster RT) red eye or Hellcat , the v8 RT isn't much different
Totally agree I would take my fully loaded GT over any base RT
It does have WAY more torque tho it’s a big difference
The RT isn't even a whole second faster than the GT, according to Dodge's website.
Can’t someone just tune their sxt . This is only 8 horsepower more and a little extra torque. Couldn’t air intake and basic upgrades get you there too
375 HP not 345 HP
Personally, I'd rather have the all wheel drive. And just Put a rip supercharger on it.
This is really Funny but this is cool
Okay so would the V6 get better gas mileage than the V8? If so I would be fine with the V6. Also the format was fine, but I think the other is better. And I don't know if it was just cause you did it different than normal or there just isn't enough room in the back. You was on the opposite side and didn't show the head and leg room. I figured it's probably to snug for most people in the back.
The v6 can handle boost too up to 400hp using the ripp charger, better transmission and so on
Is this model available in Saudi arabia?
I’m not in Saudi Arabia so i could not say
Yes it is and I have one
The v6 comes alive after 3000rpm
It's not bad at all.
Same cheap interior
Yeah but the whole car is cheaper! So it kinda evens out, ya know?
Thumbs up for the ESV bible.
The Charger GT is really the same car as an R/T but with AWD and two less cylinders. People buy these because they live up north and need AWD. It's not because we want a V6, it's because they no longer offer AWD with the V8 to civilians. A pity. The HEMI with AWD was a monster. The GT has 8 more horsepower than a base Charger. Not a lot more, but hit the "Sport mode" button and you will feel the difference. Don't blame the buyers. We want the V8 but need AWD. Dodge took that choice away from us. The GTs 300 hp is 70 hp less than the Hemi. And when you're navigating thru snow and ice, maybe that's a good thing. American sedans are an endangered species. The future looks bleak for those of us who like gas engine sedans. EVs are great for those of you who live in moderate climates. My Dodge Rep says that the next generation of Chargers will be all EVs. They "might" offer a gas version with a straight six. Nobody really knows for sure yet.
I drove a Scat Pack for 2.5 years and I'm now driving a GT. The main reason is the true cost to own difference is $362/month, and except for the power and sound (noise?), they are the same cars. The only power difference I notice is the Scat Pack could do a 0-60 pull in 4.2 seconds and the GT takes 6.0 seconds. I'll give up the 1.8 seconds and take the $362/month.
@donniechaffin6897 Tbh couldn’t you just tune an sxt to get a similar and probably stronger performance? The gt is nice but I feel like I might want to get a cheap sxt n upgrade to my taste
Psalm 91:11 great bible verse and review Isaac god bless you
Thanks other Isaac!
Unless you’re wealthy buying a new car today is rather foolish although, it’s a personal choice which is ok. Nice car though.
If your a christian send me a miracle breaking prayer 🙏 😊 thank you
So many copes in the comments lol
I've thought about a good used Charger GT in the $15,000 range. But i am also finding used Charger RT's in the same price range. So I could get a used and affordable Charger V8 and swap out the bumpers with the scat pack bumpers.I'm looking for ways to save some money.
Sounds like a plan!
First view
Bro we all know these cars are junk.
Nah v8 are toys,
Some people want more practicality with the body they enjoy. If chargers didn’t look like chargers, I wouldn’t care about the power.
The v6 has decent power and also looks sweet. I don’t need a v8 to go grocery shopping and I’m not tryna hang with a bunch of other v8 owners like it’s the biggest accomplishment of my life to have a car .
I want to be able to go places
And not be worried about gas mileage and gas stations as easily or being on every cops radar.
V8s aren’t very useful.
