2009 Dodge Charger 4-door Sedan
KELLEY BLUE BOOK REVIEW
Overview
KBB Editors' Overview
Dodge created the Charger for consumers who need the convenience of four doors but loathe the idea of driving a generic family sedan. Even in base and mid-level forms the Charger's edgy lines and sporty wheels make a bold statement and, for those who can afford the HEMI V8 engine, the vehicle has bold moves to match. Sharing its engine and chassis with the Chrysler 300C, the 2009 Dodge Charger merges American styling and muscle with suspension and transmission technology borrowed during the short-lived merger between Daimler and Chrysler. The result yields a car that can outrun just about everything in its price class and several others costing tens of thousands more.

| Whether you're looking for a sedan with a louder bark, a bigger bite or both, the 2009 Dodge Charger might quicken your pulse before you ever turn the key. The fact that underneath the Charger is a practical family sedan shouldn't spoil your fun. | If you've grown accustomed to the high-end fit and finish inside the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, the Charger's somewhat lack luster interior may leave you wanting. The lack of a hybrid model doesn't' keep pace with arch-rival Chevrolet and its revamped Malibu Sedan. |
What's Significant about this Car?
All-wheel drive models receive Active Transfer Case and Front Axle Disconnect, which effectively disconnect the front axles and transfer case when not in use helping to conserve fuel. Other changes include a more powerful 5.7-liter HEMI V8, standard LED backlit cup holders and a new tail lamp design.
