Power  
Power comes from your choice of a 6.1-liter HEMI® V8, 5.7-liter HEMI V8, and a 3.5-liter high-output V6 engine.
3.5 Liter V6

The 3.5-liter high-output V6 engine, standard on Charger SE and SXT models, delivers the perfect balance of performance and economy. This compact powerhouse kicks out 250 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque thanks to a host of performance features, including a precision aluminum block with cast-in iron liners, cross-bolted main bearing caps, and cast aluminum heads.

Power: 250 horsepower at 6,400 rpm
Torque: 250 lb-ft at 3,800 rpm
Fuel economy: 19 mpg city/27 mpg highway
5.7 Liter HEMI® V8
  

The famed 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine with Multiple Displacement System (MDS) on Charger R/T and Daytona R/T delivers the goods, featuring a deep-skirt cast-iron block with cross-bolted main bearing caps and aluminum alloy heads with legendary hemispherical combustion chambers.

Power: 350 horsepower at 5,000 rpm (340 on R/T)
Torque: 390 lb-ft at 4,000 rpm
Fuel economy: 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway
6.1 Liter HEMI® V8  

Behold our most powerful engine ever: the big-bore SRT-engineered 6.1-liter HEMI V8. A mix of modern technology and good old-fashioned hot rod engineering enables this beast to churn out a fearsome 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. That's more power per liter than the legendary 426 Street HEMI that reigned supreme in the 1960s and 1970s.

Power: 425 horsepower at 6,200 rpm
Torque: 420 lb-ft at 4,800 rpm
Fuel economy: 14 mpg city/20 mpg highway
Multiple Displacement System (MDS)

The advanced Multiple Displacement System (MDS) uses electronics to switch from eight cylinders to four during cruising and light acceleration, delivering up to 350 horsepower with the fuel economy of a large V6. The transition is seamless and imperceptible, requiring a mere 40 milliseconds (0.04 seconds) to activate or deactivate the telescoping lifters, fuel injectors, and sparkplugs.

  • Up to 20 percent improvement in fuel economy*
  • Seamless transition from eight to four cylinders
  • Power when you need it–fuel economy when you don't

* EPA estimated mpg: 17 city/ 25 highway.
