The expert impressions also emphasize its durable, old-school character and the way it continues to deliver the kind of driving experience buyers expect from a traditional muscle sedan.

The Charger’s long-term ownership risk for used buyers is less about mechanical drama in the data here and more about whether you can live with its age-related compromises and upkeep expectations.

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

At 74.9% 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 thorough inspection of bodywork, electronics, and any signs of prior repair. Because the Charger’s appeal depends heavily on condition, you’ll want to focus on how well the cabin, camera system, and exterior presentation have held up.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SXT comes with a V6 engine, 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. Higher trims add more power and equipment, while the Hellcat and above bring heated-and-ventilated front seats and Laguna leather upholstery.
• Powertrain: The V6 makes 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque in base form, or 300 hp and 264 lb-ft in SXT AWD and GT trims. The R/T uses a 5.7-liter V8 with 370 hp and 394 lb-ft, the Scat Pack uses a 6.4-liter V8 with 485 hp and 475 lb-ft, and the Hellcat family uses a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with output ranging from 717 hp to 807 hp depending on version.
• Safety package: The Charger comes standard with a backup camera and rear parking sensors. 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.
• Infotainment: The base setup uses a 7-inch Uconnect touchscreen, while an 8.4-inch version is optional on the SXT and standard on the rest of the lineup. Both screens include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• 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 R/T returns 16 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined. The Scat Pack and Hellcat return 15 mpg city, 24 mpg highway, and 18 mpg combined. The Redeye and Jailbreak return 12 mpg city, 21 mpg highway, and 15 mpg combined.

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 size, V6 power, and standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto without stretching the budget. It’s the simplest way into the lineup, but it also leaves you with the most basic equipment.
• GT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a sportier suspension, performance tires, navigation, and the larger 8.4-inch touchscreen while staying with the V6. If you want the most balanced mix of price, features, and everyday usability, this is the one to focus on.
• R/T: Choose this if you want the first V8 and care more about classic muscle-car character than value. It brings a meaningful power jump, but it also moves you into a higher price bracket.
• R/T Scat Pack: This is the sweet spot for buyers who want serious performance without jumping all the way to Hellcat territory. The larger V8, launch control, high-performance suspension, limited-slip rear differential, and Brembo brakes make it the most compelling performance-focused choice for many enthusiasts.
• Hellcat: Pick this if outright acceleration is your priority and you want the supercharged V8 experience. It adds a much more extreme personality and a more serious hardware setup.
• Redeye: This is for buyers who want even more power than the Hellcat and are willing to pay for it. It pushes the Charger deeper into supercar territory.
• Jailbreak: Choose this only if you want the most extreme factory-tuned Charger and the highest output in the lineup. It’s the top-end statement trim.

The safety content notes that the Charger comes standard with only a backup camera and rear parking sensors, while more advanced driver-assistance features are optional.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Dodge Charger?

This is a seller’s market, so you should act selectively and be ready to move when a strong listing appears.

• Deal availability: 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,481 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 7.11% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 74.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $26,748, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Dodge Charger’s resale value?

The current average of $29,290 sits slightly above last year's $27,344.

That upward move suggests the Charger is holding buyer interest well, which can help support resale strength if you buy carefully. If prices remain firm, a well-kept example should stay relatively easy to market later, especially if it has the right trim and condition.

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?

The Charger earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

This is where the Charger truly shows its age. Standard safety equipment is limited to a backup camera and rear parking sensors, and the camera image is described as grainy and pixelated. 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.

A key caveat for used buyers is that the most modern safety tech is not standard, so you should verify exactly which options a specific car has before you buy.

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:

• 29.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 74.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 7.11% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.58/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The expert summary frames it as a living fossil: old-school muscle with modern-day appeal.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $27,018, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $29,290 average.
• It offers budget-friendly horsepower and roomy practicality.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $35,040, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $29,290 average.
• It serves as a final-year sendoff with a more memorable farewell feel.

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 price matters most, the 2021 is the smarter value play. If you want the last-chance version and are willing to pay more, the 2023 is the emotional buy.
