Dodge Charger: Most Powerful Four-Door Under $30k

December 12, 2012 By Kif Richmann

Dodge Charger on a race track

In a recent study released by Motor Trend, the Dodge Charger SE was chosen as the most powerful four-door car priced under $30,000.

While muscle cars are historically sporty two door frames, life often forces us to get a roomy, more practical four-door vehicle. According to Motor Trend, drivers seeking affordability without sacrificing on power need to consider the Dodge Charger SE.

Take a look at our inventory of Dodge Chargers

Powered the famous and efficient Pentastar V-6, which is present in many Chrysler and Dodge vehicles, the Charger SE gets 292 hp with an impressive 260 lbs of torque. With an eight speed automatic transmission, this car makes a powerful option for drivers who need room but want muscle.

As the muscle car segment has always been dominated by rear-wheel cars, it was appropriate that the only rear-wheel drive car on the top-ten list took the #1 spot, . With all its powerful stats, the Charge SE still gets a money-saving 31 mpg highway.

Take a look at Dodge Charger SE stats and features:

  • 3.6 L V6 DOHC Pentastar
  • Eight-speed automatic
  • Rear wheel drive
  • 292 horsepower
  • 260 lbs-ft
  • 0-60: 6.6 seconds
  • EPA estimates: 19 city/31 highway

The Dodge Avenger SE V6 and Chrysler 200 Limited also earned top spots, with the Avenger earning a #3 finish and the Chrysler 200 taking #4, furthering the reputation of Chrysler products as a serious choice for powerful cars with affordable options.

You don’t need to over-spend to get a four-door sedan that has muscle-car capabilities. Call Pat McGrath Dodge Country today at 319-393-4610 and you can take a free test drive in a powerful and affordable Dodge Charger.
