Pros and Cons*
Pros
With its impressive power, well-calibrated suspension and effective brakes, the 2013 Dodge Charger SRT is a commanding sedan.
Cons
Some buyers might be deterred by the sedan’s heavy fuel consumption, large size and weight.
Price
The SRT Super Bee starts at $44,445. Equipped with a 470 hp V8 engine, the Super Bee features a 4.3 Uconnect system, four-piston Brembo brakes, performance suspension and 3-mode electronic stability control.
You can recognize this model by its black brake calipers, rear matte black spoiler, black grille with a Super Bee badge and 20-inch aluminum wheels.
With distinctive forged aluminum 20-inch wheels, air intake sculpted on the hood, a same-body-colour rear spoiler and red brake calipers, the SRT is available for $48,345.
This model features an active and adaptive suspension, keyless entry and remote start, ventilated front seats, high-quality speakers, rear backup camera, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel with cruise and audio controls and paddle shifters as well as power pedal and seat controls.
Fuel Economy
This V8’s fuel ratings are estimated at around 15 L/100 km in the city and 8.7 L/100 km on the highway. Thanks to the VVT feature and active valve exhaust system, the fuel economy of this brand-new HEMI engine has improved by 25%.
Exterior Styling
This striking and brawny 2013 Dodge Charger SRT, with its LED racetrack shaped taillights and high beltline, struts its stuff with quite the attitude. Its hood swoop and SRT-badged grille gives it a potent look.
