The 2009 Charger: A 1960s Icon Reinvented Flex your muscles on the road with this powerful ride.

If you’re looking for a truly classic muscle car, look no farther than the 2009 Dodge Charger. Although others in its class may claim to evoke nostalgia with a modern twist, only the Charger delivers a bold enough style with the power and technology of a 21st century vehicle.

The 2009 Dodge Charger is a five-passenger, rear-wheel drive performance sedan available in four trim levels – SE, SXT, R/T and SRT8. The well-equipped base SE delivers a solid ride with its 178-hp 2.7-liter multi-port fuel injection (MPI) V6 engine, and gets an EPA rating of 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. The SXT, with the option of all-wheel drive (also available on the R/T), is powered by a 3.5-liter High-Output, 24-valve MPI V6 engine. While the SE and SXT trims come standard with 17-inch aluminum wheels, the R/T bumps it up a notch with 18-inchers. The SXT H Package upgrades the interior with leather-trimmed seats.
