Question 1

What powertrains does the Dodge Charger 2022 offer in Canada and how does it differ from the Challenger?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Charger shares its LX platform with the Challenger but is a four-door sedan, making it considerably more practical for daily use. Available powertrains in Canada mirror the Challenger: 3.6L Pentastar V6 (292 hp) on the SXT and GT (AWD available on the GT), 5.7L HEMI V8 (370 hp) on the R/T, 6.4L HEMI (485 hp) on the Scat Pack, and the supercharged 6.2L (717 hp) on Hellcat variants. The Charger SXT V6 AWD (approximately $47,000) is consistently one of the top-selling configurations in Canada: four genuine doors, 462 L trunk, all-wheel drive for winter use, and an imposing road presence. The GT AWD adds Touring, Sport, and Track drive modes, lowered sport suspension, and more aggressive wheel designs.

Question 2

Is the Dodge Charger 2022 with AWD a realistic choice as a sole family vehicle in Canada?

Accepted Answer

With four real doors, a generous rear-seat footprint (99 mm more rear knee room than in a Honda Accord), a 462 L trunk, and V6 AWD availability, the 2022 Charger is more practical than its reputation suggests. For a family of two adults and two children in British Columbia or Quebec, a Charger GT AWD with winter tires functions well as a primary vehicle twelve months a year. The V6 AWD's combined fuel economy of approximately 12-13 L/100 km is comparable to a compact SUV. Practical limitations: the trunk has a conventional lid opening (no power liftgate), rear doors are shorter than those on a conventional sedan making child-seat installation slightly awkward, and towing capacity is limited (453 kg maximum). For a family without hard utility constraints and a generous fuel budget, the Charger is a distinctive and genuinely functional choice.

Question 3

With the Charger's gas-powered production ending after 2023, should a Canadian buyer purchase a 2022 model or wait?

Accepted Answer

Stellantis has confirmed the end of gas-powered Charger production after 2023. A 2022 Charger will be among the last large American muscle sedans with a big V8 -- a niche that has historically supported strong long-term residual values. For a Canadian buyer: parts availability will be assured for 10-15 years under Mopar and Canadian vehicle service regulations. Dealer discounting on 2022 units to clear inventory ahead of the 2023 final-year models can deliver purchase savings of $1,500-$3,000 on some configurations. The full Chrysler Canada warranty (3 years / 60,000 km base, 5 years / 100,000 km powertrain) applies to new 2022 purchases. If you value the V8 experience and plan to keep the vehicle long-term, 2022 is an excellent buying window -- combine end-of-cycle dealer incentives with full warranty coverage.
