2006 Dodge Charger

While the original Charger was a two-door coupe, the 2006 Charger is designed to look like a coupe in silhouette, but is actually a 4-door.

The current version of the legendary HEMI will be offered in the Charger, producing 340-horsepower with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine is the 250-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 and, like the original Charger, the 2006 is rear-wheel drive.

With standard ABS, Electronic Stability Control and three different available suspension packages, the 2006 Charger will deliver braking and handling to match the acceleration.

The Charger shares a platform with the popular Chrysler 300 and Dodge Magnum sport wagon. Styling is quite different from these other models - the Charger sports a more agressive-looking grille and large fender flares.

Production of the 2006 Dodge Charger begins this spring at the Brampton Assembly Plant in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, alongside the 300 and Magnum. The new Charger is expected to begin arriving in showrooms in May of this year.
