2017 Dodge Charger Performance and Engine

Pentastar V6 Power Meets Efficiency

Under the hood sits Dodge's legendary 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine — an engine that's earned a reputation for durability and strong real-world performance. In the 2017 Charger, this engine produces 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, giving you more than enough punch for freeway merges, passing maneuvers, and spirited weekend drives through the desert foothills.

8-Speed Automatic with AutoStick

Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission featuring AutoStick manual-shift control, gear changes are smooth and responsive. The wide ratio spread of the 8-speed helps maximize both fuel economy at cruising speeds and acceleration when you need it. Rear-wheel drive keeps the driving experience true to the Charger's muscle car roots, delivering a connected, engaging feel behind the wheel that front-wheel-drive sedans simply can't match.

Dodge Charger Features and Interior

The 2017 Charger SE is loaded with features that make daily driving comfortable and connected. Inside, you'll find Dodge's Uconnect infotainment system, which is widely praised for its intuitive interface and responsiveness. The cabin offers generous room for five adults, with a rear seat that's unusually spacious for a performance-oriented sedan — great for families and carpooling alike.

Standard features on the 2017 Charger SE include a 7-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, a backup camera, keyless entry, and a fold-flat rear seat that opens up to a large trunk. The overall interior design leans into the Charger's sporty identity with a driver-focused cockpit layout, clear gauges, and supportive front seats that make long drives across the Inland Empire genuinely comfortable.

Dodge Charger Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 Dodge Charger consistently earns strong marks from owners for long-term durability. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is one of Chrysler's most proven engines — it powers millions of vehicles across the FCA lineup and has demonstrated impressive longevity well past 150,000 miles with routine maintenance. The 8-speed ZF-sourced transmission is also a strong unit when serviced properly.

Owners frequently cite the Charger's low cost of ownership relative to its performance credentials as a major plus. Parts are widely available and affordable, and independent mechanics throughout Riverside County are deeply familiar with this platform. Common maintenance items — brakes, tires, oil changes — are straightforward and competitively priced. At 81,899 miles, this Charger is approaching the middle of its expected lifespan, not the end of it.
