Dodge Teases Next Charger

Automakers love putting out teasers, using us media dopes to build anticipation.


And we oblige, because it's our job to relay information to you.

Here we have a tweet with four pictures of the next Dodge Charger, a winking allusion to how cell-phone cameras are banned at automaker proving grounds, and a blurb saying we're seeing the pre-production model of a car going on sale late this year.

There's not much new here, beyond a clearer look at the car, which seems to hew pretty closely to the concept.

So there's no confirmation of powertrains, but at least we get to see more than we usually do with teasers.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  • Cprescott Knowing how badly these do in real world crashes, I'd never buy either. I briefly considered a Nissan Versa back in 2019 - but when I saw how these folded up and killed people in accidents that other cars would protect their passengers, I vowed never to ever consider a Nissan. One look at the Mirage is enough - front seat occupant will be in the backseat in any front impact and rear impact will have the rear seat folded around the front seats.
  • Cprescott Why do you care? Some of us like black cars.
  • FreedMike "Inspired by Beauty."Mmmmmmkay...
  • Tassos Neither. I owe my voivodeship too much in backed taxes to been seen driving around in either of these Serious Person™️ cars. Anything better than my E-class former German taxi clown car and the magistrate will put a lien on it faster than you can say “toxic remediation” in a Slavic language.
  • Theflyersfan Real world economy, features, dealer network - Versa. Have to find a manual one. A CVT channeling less power might last longer, but it's still a CVT. The Mirage needs a top-down redo right now.
