The infotainment display is modestly sized, a deliberate choice for a driver’s car, and Uconnect worked smoothly with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
At 6-foot-6, the reviewer could sit comfortably in the back seat behind their own driving position.
The hatchback cargo area is large enough to fit an XL Cannondale Cujo mountain bike with the rear seats folded and front wheel removed.
Driving Impressions
The 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight-six sends 420 hp and 468 lb-ft through an eight-speed automatic.
Throttle response is not as sharp as a naturally aspirated V8, but the engine is predictable and pulls hard from low revs.
It continues making meaningful power toward the top of the tachometer, and the exhaust note becomes enjoyable at higher revs.
The eight-speed automatic can be slow to downshift in normal mode, though Sport mode sharpens responses considerably.
The R/T lacks some features, but the overall package remains compelling.
The Charger R/T may not win over V8 purists, but its combination of power, space, and practicality makes it a standout muscle car for everyday use.
