2016 Dodge Charger | CarGurus Test Drive Review

- Americans frequently fail to look beyond the surface in order to examine the substance. A better car than most will give it credit for, the 2016 Dodge Charger’s blue-collar, Y-chromosome image masks a remarkably satisfying family sedan. It’s not flawless, but there’s more to the Charger than meets the eye. For one thing, the Charger speaks with a German accent. It’s based on a rear-drive platform that dates to the mid-2000s, one that used bits and pieces from old Mercedes-Benz E-Class and S-Class models when it was first engineered.
All Charger SE and SXT models have an excellent 3.6-liter V6 engine, an impressive 8-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive (RWD). An all-wheel-drive (AWD) system is an option for both trim levels, making the Charger perfect for climates that regularly experience inclement weather. It certainly doesn’t match the bellow and force of one of the Charger’s optional V8 engines, but the V6 engine sounds good when revving and returned 22.9 mpg in combined driving, coming in just short of the EPA’s estimate of 23 mpg.

Driving this SXT for a week as a rental - the best and most fun experience of all my car driving life. Smiling the whole time. It can be tame and smooth sipping gas as you cruise or become a monster in a split second when you floor it. The engine keeps pulling all the way to 6.500 rpms. Excellent balance of fun, practicality and style. All the options are well thought out and useful in every day driving. Rear view camera is a must for this car! Otherwise, buying this car as soon as I save enough money.
I had a similar experience. I drove a 2017 Charger as a rental a couple years ago. It was the best rental car I've ever had. I liked it so much that I recently went out and bought a Chrysler 300 for myself (same car, but a little more luxurious).
I'm willing to bet you can't say that about many rental cars.
@@blairbrown4812you cant
love the front end on this car best looking charger ever.
Mike Harris I know it's a great looking muscle sedan because it has the retro look with some muscular flairs to it. My dad has a 2016 Dodge charger SXT AWD with a 3.6L DOHC 24V Penastar V6 with 292 HP and its a blast to drive and with the AWD it's really great in the snow.
“Best looking Charger ever”......*1968 Charger wants to know your location*
@@fastcoolness lol 😂
2011-2014 Charger
He's right. This car commands attention. I have guys stepped out their BMWs just so they can take a look at the car. Bright Candy Red will definitely light up the neighborhood.
Not many reviews of the Charger V6, especially ones done well, glad I found this one.
That thing is sweet! Screw boring colors, let that baby shine!
Completely agree with this after having a V6 Charger In the family for 6 months. It is a cruising machine, with more than enough power to boot.
Drove a 2016 (V6) as a rental just a few weeks ago. Gotta tell you, it was _fun_ !
Just bought a 2017 sxt awd in all black and I swear it feels like I’m driving the Batmobile. Clean car smooth driving good on gas and not too expensive to maintain.
I’m planning to go a review of the 2018 Charger sxt soon. This video helped get a couple more points of view on this car to make sure I don’t turn out to be so biased
Great video. I'm strongly considering the SXT version for a family car with some umph. I think this car is a great compromise that gets a lot of flack from the sports car crowd, but offers some solid style and performance for someone looking at a traditional sedan.
This car is my first car, I have the XST plus RWD with the black-top appearance pack, super track pack, and the navigation travel group, I've only had it for 3 or so months now but from my experience, it's one of the best value cars out there. Im a junior in highschool, and with the V6, just the right amount of horse power, and only 304 a month, it meets my requirements so well I will most likely buy it up once my lease on it is up! Great car, great review! Thanks a lot!
How much did you put down
I really enjoy your reviews Chris. Could you please elaborate on the negative attantion you have received from people when driving this Charger?
#V6Livesmatter 👌🏿💯
Can you do a review on the 2016 Challengers?
This is my dream car 😍😍
Thank you 👍
Looks good
Just got the base 2016 sxt model, no upgrades' for 16k its used only 20k miles
Jaee Pushaa how’s the reliability any major fixes or anything like that
What state?
Jabari Corsfield California
Hey man, how's the car running? I'm really looking into getting a used 2016 sxt model
Is that the pentastar engine?
Tell us where that shirt you are wearing is sourced from???
Theres no backup camera?
The car is great! Only bad thing I can say is that they are getting away from the charger look too much!
It also wouldn't hurt to make it a little bit taller, live three inches, in future
The pour mans sports car and I love it❤️
@MR FREEZE-98 compared to the V8 versions, yeah it is.
@MR FREEZE-98 depends on how poor is poor, and how badly managed are the finances. Anyone can own.
y'all should do more dodge reviews
4:13 oh shit dude, you're on McKeen!
How to tell your motor size in your Dodge charger
How much is this car now in 2022
I love big cars, with optional power and that have good fuel rate. This is a fun car. The only issue with US cars is longevity. This car should be in dark silver color. No other.
Lam rof I have a 96 Ford F150 with a 5.0L (302) Windsor V8 with 206,820 miles on it and it's still going strong. The only thing I replaced on my truck was the starter but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance, took out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since. Also the Dodge charger is a big car for Mr.B and my dad too loves driving his 2016 Dodge charger SXT AWD V6.
What type of charger is the dodge charger pursuit based on?
Those are AWD 5.7 V8 packages, which are unavailable as consumer models. They also have upgraded suspension, brake, and electrical systems. Killer package to get on the auction block after these get tired from police use. They run circles around the old crown vics.
+oldtwins most of the 2015/16 police chargers are equipped with 3.6 V6 and AWD.
@@SupercarsGermany707 I have a 2016 Pursuit that has the V6 and RWD. AWD is only available with a V8. The pursuit is based on the SE model.
Does anyone know about longevity for this car? Is it reliable?
From what I’ve hear dodge cars are nutritious for their unreliable transmissions but their engines are built to last, but that being said this car is only 3 ish years old so whose to say at this point
@@geekstronomy3368 the tranny in these are built by mercedes. very high quality.
Hey, does anyone know if this car is reliable?
I agreed with the first sentence you said, but the rest is so not true unless this is your first time driving a vehicle. If you've been driving the blind spots in this aren't bad at all. Now if this was a SUV with 3 rows yeah, but no this is a small sedan. Just my opinion
Double-O $¢rilla it's about how U drive it if u take care of it it will last
SuperZX backup sensors or the backup makes the most sense blind spot alerts you can figure that easy , what you normally average combine city and highway ?
I hope people are not buying this for MSRP...that’s ridiculous. Can get a 15k miles 2016 RT for $25,000
I honestly dont u derstand why he is complaining about the color. They also come in grey, black and white
Man you're reaching for flaws my man. Gets too much attention? u connect is slow? I took an 18 hour drive with 4 friends down to South Carolina in my 392 all four of our stuff fits.. complaining about a massive trunk. What negative attention does it get? you're right though it is such a car for the money.
Blair Gray what you average combine city and highway ?
Miko I get 12.7L per 100km average city and highway. pretty good for 500 hp lol.
this sxt or 😏😏😏
6:17
For all that what your described you might as well get a Chrysler 300 and not get the v8. At 37k you can get a rt charger with the same amenities idk if I want muscle I want muscle not a mid age family car.
I love my baby ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kevin Disick u still loving it ?
haha i hate how everybody refers to the v6 as a rental car. they really don't know shit about the automotive industry because every brand dumps their cars in fleet. The company i work for has fully loaded bmw,audis, jaguars etc lol. So you are telling me everytime i see a fully loaded x5, it's a rental lol
I guess I can't buy an American Charger like it used to be. Thanks for the warning. I'll pass on this EuroMexico thing.
Very efficient great car people forget this is fast enough unless you're trying to race like a dumb young person
Hater
Rick Renganeschi what’s the reliability like of urs any major repairs or things like that
Ive prefer japanese car..they built their cars properly and built to last..reliable..the Nissan Maxima 2017 would destroy this car on track or drag race..this car is heavy boring inside..japanese car still the best..
Wayne L. Your charger is garbage and after 4years its goes to garbage..its slow and even front wheel drive can beat that car..go drive your garbage car..
Wayne L. Goodluck spending your money for your garbage charger..my front wheel drive smoke your slow charger..
Wayne L. Your charger cant go corner because its a shit car..buy japanese car you cant go wrong..dnt waste your money..
Wayne L. See ya..have fun with your heavy and slow shit car.
Wayne L. No..i dnt have payments i bought it cash i swap my 2015 charger v6 because its slow and heavy i feel like someone need to push behind my charger before..its a shit heavy ugly car the charger..its embarrasing even my 2013 3.7 v6 mustang beat the charger. So enjoy your charger..if you need someone to push your charger to make it faster let me know my maxima willing push it..lol..
