The 2018 Dodge Charger is for drivers who want a car that stands out with a powerful engine and exterior styling and comes in a rainbow of colors such as Go Mango, Destroyer Grey and White Knuckle. It's not exactly a sensible ride, but it is a practical one. Four doors, plenty of passenger room, and all the common safety features make it usable for family- or friend-hauling. Dodge offers a wide variety of performance and appearance options, and the Uconnect tech interface is an Edmunds favorite. Since Chevrolet discontinued its SS sedan for 2018, and Ford has yet to make a Mustang with four doors, the Charger is almost a car without a peer. Except, maybe, the Kia Stinger? Watch the video and see if you agree. Edmunds picked the 2018 Dodge Charger V6 as one of our Best AWD Sedans, and the 2018 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat as one of the Best Sport Sedans for this year. Where does the Daytona 392 fit in?

Q: Is the 2018 Dodge Charger Daytona 392 supercharged?
A: No, the 2018 Dodge Charger Daytona 392 uses the top-of-the-line 6.4-liter Hemi, before you move into the territory of the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat engine.

Q: What is the difference between the 2018 Dodge Charger Daytona 392 and the 2018 Dodge Charger Scat Pack?
A: The Daytona 392 package is mostly cosmetically different from the Scat Pack, with Daytona-specific graphics, Daytona-logo leather seats, and other upgraded interior pieces. Horsepower is the same at 475 horsepower and 485 pound-feet of torque, but the Daytona has larger brakes and a better suspension. It's basically a combination of the 5.7-liter Daytona and the R/T Scat Pack.

Q: Can you get a 2018 Dodge Charger with a manual transmission?
A: No. Although the Dodge Challenger is available with a six-speed manual, Charger's transmission is the Torqueflite eight-speed automatic.
