Used 2022 Dodge Charger for Sale nearTrenton, NJ

How much does the 2022 Dodge Charger cost?

Prices are up 2.05% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 4,137 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Dodge Charger a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Dodge Charger earns 4.6/5 from owners and 8.00/10 from our experts. The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

Drivers consistently praise its powerful performance, spacious interior, and enjoyable handling. The Charger also stands out as a rare holdout for buyers who want a big, old-school performance sedan with strong straight-line appeal and everyday usability.

The trade-offs are an aging interior and poor fuel economy, and the backup camera quality is a weak point. For shoppers who want muscle-car character in a four-door package, those compromises may be acceptable.

Good and great deals account for 29.8% of listings, so there are still some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2022 Dodge Charger reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a car that many drivers feel good about living with over time, especially when it comes to performance and overall enjoyment. The expert test-drive data also emphasizes that the Charger’s conventional controls and easy-to-use technology make it straightforward to count on day to day.

The ownership risk for used buyers is that age-related wear and higher running costs can matter more here than on newer, more efficient sedans.

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

At 68.8% 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 close inspection of body panels, paint consistency, and signs of prior repair. Because this car can be driven hard, it also makes sense to focus on tire wear, brake condition, and whether the cabin and electronics still feel well cared for.

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 is the least expensive V8 model, while the R/T Scat Pack adds a larger V8, launch control, a high-performance suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, Brembo brakes, a heated steering wheel, and driver’s seat memory. The Hellcat adds supercharged power, SRT-tuned suspension, upgraded Brembo brakes, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, Laguna leather upholstery, and heated-and-ventilated front seats. The Scat Pack is the best-value performance choice if you want serious speed without jumping to the highest-priced trims.
• Powertrain: The V6 makes 292 horsepower in base form, with 300 hp in AWD versions. The R/T uses a 5.7-liter V8, the Scat Pack uses a 6.4-liter V8, and the Hellcat, Redeye, and Jailbreak use supercharged 6.2-liter V8s. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and the V6 is also available with all-wheel drive.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes 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. Some of these features are not standard on lower trims.
• Infotainment: The Charger comes standard with a 7-inch Uconnect touchscreen, and an 8.4-inch version is optional on the base SXT and standard on the rest of the lineup. Both screens include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 with rear-wheel drive 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 supercharged 6.2-liter V8 returns 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, and it gives you the Charger’s core personality with the V6, a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, rear parking sensors, and a usable everyday setup. It makes sense if you want the look and space without paying for performance hardware you may not use.
• GT: This trim adds a sportier feel with a rear spoiler, sport-tuned suspension, performance tires, navigation, an Alpine premium stereo, and the larger 8.4-inch touchscreen. It’s the better pick if you want a more polished feature set without moving into V8 territory.
• R/T: This is the first V8 trim and the one to choose if you want the classic Charger experience with stronger acceleration and a more muscular character. It’s the gateway to the lineup’s traditional performance appeal.
• R/T Scat Pack: This is the best-value performance trim because it adds the bigger 6.4-liter V8, launch control, high-performance suspension, limited-slip rear differential, and Brembo brakes. If you want the sweet spot between price and serious speed, this is the one to target.
• Hellcat: This trim is for buyers who want supercharged power, upgraded brakes, SRT-tuned suspension, and more premium comfort and safety equipment. It’s the choice if outright performance matters more than cost.
• Redeye: This version turns the performance dial even higher with an even more powerful supercharged V8 and improved engine cooling. It suits buyers who want maximum straight-line drama.
• Jailbreak: This is the most extreme version, with the supercharged V8 tuned even hotter. It’s for shoppers who want the most powerful Charger experience available.

The safety package starts with a backup camera and rear parking sensors, while more advanced driver-assistance features are available on higher trims or as options.

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

Act selectively, because this is still a seller’s market for the Charger.

• Deal availability: 29.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,137 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.05% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 68.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $26,805, 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 $27,558 sits slightly above last year's $27,003.

That upward move suggests the Charger is holding value reasonably well for a used performance sedan. Demand appears steady enough that prices have not softened, which can help support resale if you buy carefully and keep the car in good condition.

Because the model has a loyal following and a distinctive personality, well-kept examples should remain easier to sell than more ordinary sedans. Strong condition, clean history, and desirable trims will matter most when it’s time to trade or sell.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, 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.

Standard safety equipment is limited to a backup camera and rear parking sensors, which is sparse by modern standards. 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.

The main caveat is that the Charger’s standard safety content is thin, and the backup camera quality is a weak point. If safety tech matters to you, you’ll want to focus on trims or examples equipped with the available driver-assistance features.

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:

• 29.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 68.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.05% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 keeps the Charger’s old-school muscle-car character with strong performance and easy-to-use tech.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $26,301, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $27,558 average.
• It blends muscle-car character with everyday practicality.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $33,981, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $27,558 average.
• It adds final-year significance and special-edition appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, performance, and availability, the 2022 is the primary target. If you’re more price-sensitive, the 2021 is the smarter value play; if you want the last-year cachet, the 2023 is the premium alternative.
