Used 2022 Dodge Charger for Sale nearTrenton, NJ

How much does the 2022 Dodge Charger cost?

Prices are up 8.77% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 4,491 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare before you commit.

If you find a listing below $26,706.78, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 Dodge Charger a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Dodge Charger earns a 4.58/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Performance at 10/10.

Drivers consistently praise its powerful performance, spacious interior, and enjoyable handling. The Charger also stands out for its easy-to-use technology, and owners especially like the Scat Pack variant for its strong acceleration and engine power.

The trade-offs are clear: the interior quality and comfort can feel behind the price, and the cabin does not feel especially modern. That fits the Charger’s role as a big, rear-drive performance sedan with everyday usability rather than a cutting-edge luxury car.

With 25.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Dodge Charger reliable?

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

Drivers describe it as powerful, enjoyable to drive, and spacious, with many noting that it delivers the kind of performance they expect over time. The ownership conversation also includes concerns about theft, which can affect how dependable the car feels to keep and insure.

The Charger’s straightforward layout and conventional controls support a sense of durability, and its performance hardware is built for repeated use. For used buyers, the bigger long-term risk is less about mechanical novelty and more about condition, upkeep, and how the car was treated before you buy it.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 75% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any car you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-performance trims where brakes, tires, and suspension components may have seen harder use. Focus on cabin condition too, since the interior is one of the Charger’s weaker points.

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 and higher trims add supercharged power, upgraded brakes, and more premium comfort features.
• Powertrain: The lineup starts with a 3.6-liter V6, moves to a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 in the R/T, then a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 in the Scat Pack. Above that, the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 delivers extreme output in Hellcat, Redeye, and Jailbreak forms. 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 optional rather than standard.
• Infotainment: The standard screen is 7 inches, with an 8.4-inch version standard on most trims and optional on the base SXT. Both versions 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 supercharged 6.2-liter V8 in the Redeye and Jailbreak 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 formula with the V6, standard infotainment, and the basic convenience features you need. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the lineup, but it is also the most stripped-down version.
• GT: This is the better-value choice if you want a more complete everyday package. You get the same V6 foundation plus a sportier suspension setup, performance tires, navigation, a premium stereo, and the larger 8.4-inch touchscreen.
• R/T: This is the first V8 trim, so it is the right move if engine character matters most to you. It keeps much of the GT’s equipment while adding the 5.7-liter V8.
• R/T Scat Pack: This is the best-value performance trim. You get the 6.4-liter V8, launch control, a high-performance suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, Brembo brakes, and extra comfort touches like a heated steering wheel and driver’s seat memory.
• Hellcat: This is for you if you want the Charger’s supercharged personality and the most serious hardware short of the top special editions. It adds the supercharged 6.2-liter V8, upgraded brakes, and premium comfort features.
• Redeye: Choose this if you want even more power than the Hellcat and are willing to pay for it. It adds a more powerful tune and improved engine cooling.
• Jailbreak: This is the most extreme version, with the hottest supercharged V8 tune in the lineup. It is the one to buy if outright performance is your priority and price is secondary.

Safety-wise, the Charger’s driver-assistance features are mostly optional rather than standard, so check each listing carefully.

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

The market still favors sellers, so you should shop selectively and be ready to move when a strong listing appears.

• Deal availability: 25.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,491 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 8.77% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 75.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $26,706.78, 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 $29,826 sits slightly above last year's $27,421.

That price increase suggests the Charger has held demand well, which can help support resale value if you buy carefully. Stronger pricing also means you may not get a deep bargain up front, but it can work in your favor later if the car stays desirable. Condition, mileage, and trim will matter a lot, especially on higher-performance versions.

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 an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The Charger’s standard safety equipment is limited to a backup camera and rear parking sensors, which is sparse for the class. 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 the exact feature set on any used example, since many of the more useful safety technologies are optional. The low-quality backup camera is also worth checking in person, because it is part of the everyday safety experience.

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:

• 25.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 75% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices are up 8.77% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.58/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It blends old-school muscle-car character with everyday usability and strong performance.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $27,626, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $29,826 average.
• It offers budget-friendly horsepower and roomy, practical accommodations.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $34,824, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $29,826 average.
• It adds final-year special editions and a more dramatic sendoff.

The bottom line: You should start with the 2022 if you want the best balance of performance, usability, and market availability. If price is your top priority, the 2021 is the smarter value play. If you want the most collectible-feeling version and do not mind paying more, the 2023 is the one to compare against.
