Used 2022 Dodge Charger for Sale nearTrenton, NJ

How much does the 2022 Dodge Charger cost?

Prices are up 7.10% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 4,496 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2022 Dodge Charger a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Dodge Charger earns a 4.58/5 user rating and an 8.00/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

Drivers consistently praise its powerful performance, spacious interior, and enjoyable handling. The user feedback also points to strong engine power in the Scat Pack variant, along with the kind of long-term appeal that comes from a car people enjoy living with. On the downside, the expert notes call out an aging interior and poor fuel economy, which can matter if you want a more modern-feeling daily driver.

That mix fits you best if you want a spacious sedan with strong performance and a more traditional driving experience. Even with those trade-offs, 29.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there is still some room to shop carefully.

Is the 2022 Dodge Charger reliable?

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

The user review summary points to a car that many owners trust and enjoy over time, with language centered on strong performance and a spacious cabin that keeps the car appealing beyond the first impression. The expert notes also emphasize that the Charger’s straightforward layout and conventional controls make it easy to live with, which supports a dependable day-to-day ownership experience.

The main long-term ownership risk for used buyers is that the car’s age and performance focus can make condition and maintenance history especially important.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 75.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a strong accident-free share does not guarantee the individual car you are considering has a clean past. Prioritize a close inspection of the interior, backup camera, and overall wear, since the Charger’s cabin age and camera quality are recurring concerns. If you are shopping a higher-performance version, pay extra attention to how the car was driven and maintained.

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 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 power, upgraded brakes, and more luxury equipment.
• Powertrain: The lineup starts with a V6, then moves to a 5.7-liter V8, a 6.4-liter V8, and supercharged 6.2-liter V8 versions. The V6 is the efficiency play, while the V8s deliver the stronger performance that defines the car.
• 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.
• Infotainment: The standard screen is 7 inches, with an 8.4-inch version available on the base SXT and standard on the rest of the lineup. Both systems 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 all-wheel drive, 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 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, and it gives you the Charger’s core formula with the V6, a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, rear parking sensors, and a six-speaker stereo. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the lineup and value the car’s size and style more than outright speed.
• GT: This trim adds a slight bump in V6 output plus a rear spoiler, sport-tuned suspension, performance tires, navigation, an Alpine premium stereo, and the larger 8.4-inch touchscreen. It is the best-value pick if you want a more polished daily driver without jumping to V8 pricing.
• R/T: This is the first V8 trim, and it brings the 5.7-liter engine while keeping much of the GT’s equipment and performance-oriented setup. It suits you if you want the classic V8 Charger experience without going all the way to the high-output models.
• R/T Scat Pack: This trim adds the 6.4-liter V8, launch control, a high-performance suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, Brembo brakes, a heated steering wheel, and driver’s seat memory. It is the sweet spot for buyers who want serious performance and strong value relative to the upper trims.
• Hellcat: This version brings supercharged V8 power, upgraded Brembo brakes, an SRT-tuned Bilstein suspension, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, Laguna leather upholstery, and heated-and-ventilated front seats. It is for you if performance is the priority and you want the most dramatic everyday Charger experience.
• Redeye: This trim turns the supercharged V8 up even further and adds improved engine cooling. It is the choice if you want maximum straight-line performance and are willing to pay for it.
• Jailbreak: This is the most extreme version, with the supercharged V8 tuned even hotter than the Redeye. It is for buyers who want the most powerful and most exclusive Charger in the lineup.

The safety package is thin on lower trims, so if driver-assistance features matter to you, you should focus on the trims and options that add them.

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

You should 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 4,496 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 7.10% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 75.2% 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 $29,398 sits slightly above last year's $27,451.

That upward move suggests the market still values this model year’s performance and character. If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you may have a better chance of holding value than you would with a more ordinary sedan. The price trend also tells you that clean, well-kept examples can still command attention from shoppers.

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 offers only a backup camera and rear parking sensors as standard equipment, which is a limited safety setup for a modern sedan. 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.

That means you should pay close attention to which safety options are actually fitted on the used car you are considering. The grainy backup camera is also a notable shortcoming if you care about visibility and everyday convenience.

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.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 75.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices are up 7.10% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.58/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It blends old-school muscle-car character with easy-to-use technology.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $27,181, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $29,398 average.
• It offers roomy practicality with multiple powertrain choices.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $35,031, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $29,398 average.
• It adds a final-year sendoff with special-edition appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of price, availability, and the Charger’s core personality, the 2022 is the smart default. If you are more price-sensitive, the 2021 is the better value play; if you want the last-year cachet and do not mind paying more, the 2023 is the emotional buy.
