Muscle cars and family cars are traditionally two separate classes of vehicle. Vehicles in each class usually lack the features necessary for classification in the other. The 2018 Dodge Charger is a different story. It has the power to feel at home on the track and the space to take the family along, too. Here’s an overview of why you should consider taking the Dodge Charger on your next road trip.
Comfort and Space
A comfortable and spacious ride is essential on any road trip with a family. The 2018 Dodge Charger has a wide range of models but most offer generous front seat space for the driver and passenger. There’s also plenty of headroom for everyone from front to back. Starting with the base model, the Charger’s seats are comfortable, with well-bolstered chairs that give good support. Higher models like the V-6 have even better bolstering and thicker seat cushions.
While the Charger seats four adults comfortably, the narrower back seats are ideal for children of all ages. Black plastics are common among the base models. If you want extra comfort, consider upgrading to a model with a Nappa leather option for a touch of luxury. The Charger’s trunk is also quite large for its class, allowing for plenty of luggage storage. Every model is also very quiet, save for the V-8 model, whose engine produces a charming throaty rumble.
Features
The 2018 Charger base model is the SXT, and it’s geared toward families. It offers power features, a power driver’s seat, Bluetooth, 18-inch wheels, a touch screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cloth seats, and the standard safety features. Taking the next step up with the SXT Plus gives the Charger leather seats, heated and ventilated seats, and blind spot monitors.
Performance
If you’re looking for a 2018 Charger that has performance under the hood and is also family-friendly, consider going for the R/T model. It offers a 5.7-liter V-8 engine that produces 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque. This model gives drivers the rumble of the V-8 engine via the active exhaust system while conserving fuel with cylinder deactivation, and it won’t break the family budget.
Safety
Dodge made sure the 2018 Dodge Charger has the standard safety amenities that are a must-have for most drivers, but especially for families. Charger comes with a rearview camera and parking sensors standard. Available safety options include a bundle with automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warnings, active lane control lane-departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control. Charger also received solid ratings from the IIHS and the NHTSA. The NHTSA gave it a 5-star safety rating overall, and it received four stars in front-crash prevention.
The 2018 Dodge Charger puts the fun in a family road trip. It has space, comfort, and features necessary for a long drive. But it’s still a Charger, which means drivers will get the performance they crave on the road without foregoing essential safety features and options necessary for a family vehicle.
