Is the 2022 Dodge Charger a good car?

Yes — 4.58/5 is a strong user rating for this model year. It also earns an expert rating of 8.00/10.

The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise the Charger’s powerful performance, spacious interior, and enjoyable handling. The model’s everyday appeal also comes through in its easy-to-use technology and its ability to work as a practical daily driver, especially if you want a big rear-drive sedan with a strong personality.

The main trade-offs are its aging interior and low-quality backup camera, and some owners feel the cabin materials and comfort do not match the price point. In Widebody form, it adds surprising cornering ability, which helps if you want muscle-car character without giving up all-around usability.

Good and great deals account for 28.7% of listings, so there are still opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2022 Dodge Charger reliable?

Owners rate it 4.58/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Drivers describe the Charger as powerful, enjoyable to live with, and appealing for the way it blends performance with everyday usability. The feedback also points to a car you can count on for strong acceleration and a roomy cabin, which supports confidence in long-term ownership.

The expert evaluation also emphasizes that the Charger’s conventional controls and straightforward layout make it easy to use day to day. If you want a used performance sedan, the bigger ownership risk is less about complexity and more about whether the car was maintained well and driven hard.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Dodge Charger?

At 74.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has performance upgrades or a higher-output V8. Focus on signs of hard use, uneven wear, and any evidence that the car’s condition does not match its mileage or asking price.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SXT comes with a V6, power-adjustable front seats, rear parking sensors, cloth upholstery, a six-speaker stereo, and a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The GT adds a rear spoiler, sport-tuned suspension, performance tires, an Alpine premium stereo, navigation, and an 8.4-inch touchscreen. The R/T brings V8 power, while the R/T Scat Pack adds a larger V8, launch control, a high-performance suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, Brembo performance brakes, a heated steering wheel, and driver’s seat memory. The Hellcat adds supercharged V8 power, SRT-tuned suspension, upgraded Brembo brakes, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, Laguna leather upholstery, and heated-and-ventilated front seats. The Widebody setup is especially important if you want better cornering and more effective power delivery.
• Powertrain: The V6 makes 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque in base form, or 300 hp and 264 lb-ft in AWD versions. The R/T uses a 5.7-liter V8 with 370 hp and 394 lb-ft. The Scat Pack’s 6.4-liter V8 makes 485 hp and 475 lb-ft. The Hellcat’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8 makes 717 hp and 650 lb-ft, while the Redeye and Jailbreak push output even higher. All engines use an eight-speed automatic, and RWD is standard.
• Safety package: The Charger offers only a backup camera and rear parking sensors as standard equipment. Available driver-assistance features include forward-collision avoidance, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, rain-sensing wipers, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Some of these features are not standard on lower trims.
• Infotainment: The standard screen is 7 inches, and an 8.4-inch version is available on the base SXT and standard on the rest of the lineup. Both systems include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the layout is designed to be easy to use.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 with RWD returns 19 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. With AWD, it returns 18 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined. The 5.7-liter V8 returns 16 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. The 6.4-liter V8 returns 15 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined. The Hellcat returns the same fuel economy as the Scat Pack.

Which 2022 Dodge Charger trim should I buy?

The 2022 Dodge Charger is offered in 7 trim levels: SXT, GT, R/T, R/T Scat Pack, Hellcat, Redeye, and Jailbreak.

Here's the short version:

• SXT: This is the entry point if you want the Charger’s basic layout, standard tech, and the lowest starting price. It gives you the core experience, but it is the least equipped trim.
• GT: This is the best-value trim if you want a more polished feel without jumping to V8 pricing. The sport-tuned suspension, performance tires, upgraded infotainment, and added convenience features make it the most balanced choice for many shoppers.
• R/T: Choose this if you want your first V8 Charger and are willing to pay more for the extra power. It keeps much of the GT’s equipment while adding the 5.7-liter V8.
• R/T Scat Pack: This is the sweet spot for buyers who want serious performance without going all the way to the supercharged models. The larger V8, launch control, high-performance suspension, limited-slip rear differential, and Brembo brakes make it the standout enthusiast pick.
• Hellcat: Buy this if you want the full supercharged experience and the most dramatic performance jump. It adds major power, upgraded brakes, and more premium comfort and safety equipment.
• Redeye: This is for buyers who want even more output than the Hellcat and are willing to pay for it. It is the extreme-performance choice in the lineup.
• Jailbreak: This is the most powerful and most expensive version, aimed at buyers who want the top-end Charger experience and the hottest tune available.

The safety content makes clear that lower trims are light on standard driver-assistance features, so if safety tech matters to you, prioritize a higher trim or verify the options list carefully.

• Deal availability: 28.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,541 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 7.22% year-over-year.

What is the 2022 Dodge Charger's resale value?

The current average of $29,540 sits slightly above last year's $27,552.

That upward move suggests the market still values this model year’s performance appeal. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you may benefit from steady demand from shoppers who want a traditional muscle sedan.

The price trend also shows that buyers are still willing to pay a premium for the Charger’s character and powertrain variety. That can help support resale value, especially for cleaner examples with desirable trims and well-documented maintenance.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.58/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Dodge Charger safe?

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

The Charger’s safety story is mixed because its standard equipment is limited for the class. You get only a backup camera and rear parking sensors as standard, while more advanced driver-assistance features are optional.

Available safety tech includes forward-collision avoidance, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, rain-sensing wipers, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. If safety features matter to you, you should verify exactly which options are installed on the used example you’re considering.

Should I buy a 2022 Dodge Charger or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 28.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 74.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 7.22% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.58/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the Charger’s traditional muscle-car formula alive with strong performance and everyday usability.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $27,369, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $29,540 average.
• It adds a new track-ready variant and keeps the Charger practical and roomy.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $34,869, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $29,540 average.
• It adds limited-edition Last Call models for a final-year sendoff.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of current-market availability, strong owner satisfaction, and classic Charger character, the 2022 is the primary year to target. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the smarter value play; if you want the final-year special-edition appeal, the 2023 is the premium alternative.
