The 2009 Dodge Charger is part of the vehicle's sixth generation. It comes with a 2.7-liter V6 engine developing 178 horsepower as standard, with a choice of two further V8 options offering 250hp and 368hp. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four- or five-speed automatic transmission. Notable features on all trims—SE, SXT, R/T, and SRT8—include standard stability control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and a CD/MP3 player. Higher trims add more luxury and performance features. Safety equipment includes front-seat side airbags and full-length curtain-type airbags, but notably, no standard traction control on the base SE model. In terms of infotainment, Sirius satellite radio and an auxiliary audio jack are offered from the base model upwards. It's worth mentioning that the 2009 Charger featured few changes compared to its 2008 predecessor.
