Overview

The 2010 Dodge Charger is a full-size sedan that offers a bold and aggressive design, powerful engines, and a comfortable and spacious interior. This model year marked the fourth generation of the Charger, which was first introduced in 2006. The 2010 Dodge Charger is available in several trim levels, each of which offers a unique set of features and capabilities.

The 2010 Dodge Charger competes with other full-size sedans such as the Ford Taurus, Chevrolet Impala, and Toyota Avalon. The Charger offers a bold and aggressive design, powerful engines, and a comfortable and spacious interior. The Charger's biggest advantage over its competitors is its available V8 engine, which provides a significant increase in power and performance.

The 2010 Dodge Charger is available with several engine options. The base SE model comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The SXT model comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The R/T model comes with a 5.7-liter V8 engine that produces 370 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque. The Charger offers a comfortable and composed ride, with a suspension that does a good job of absorbing bumps and rough roads. The R/T and R/T Road & Track models come with a sport-tuned suspension that provides a more engaging and responsive driving experience. The Charger's large size and heavy weight may make it feel less agile in tight corners, but it is still capable of providing a confident and stable ride.

The 2010 Dodge Charger offers a spacious and comfortable interior with room for up to five passengers. The seats are supportive and provide good comfort, and the materials used throughout the cabin are of good quality. The infotainment system is easy to use and comes with features such as a 6.5-inch touchscreen display and a six-speaker audio system.

The exterior design, meanwhile, is bold and aggressive, with a distinct front grille and a sporty stance. The R/T and R/T Road & Track models come with a rear spoiler and a sport-tuned suspension, giving them a more athletic appearance. The Charger also features a sleek and aerodynamic design that helps to improve fuel efficiency and reduce wind noise.

We have over 10,000 listings on the Dodge Charger ranging from $1,895 to $146,995.

Buying Advice

For the 2010 Charger, we would recommend going all out with the SRT8 trim. An iconic all-American coupe with a massive V8 engine is exactly what the Charger was meant to be and no trim achieves it better than the SRT8. Add to that the SRT Option Group II and you’ll be cruising around in high speeds at ease and look damn good while doing it. We particularly liked the Brilliant Black Crystal Pearlcoat, Dark Titanium Metallic Clearcoat, and the Deep Water Blue Pearlcoat paint schemes for the Charger as they accentuate its sleek and sporty nature.
