Dodge Charger Insurance

With a base sticker price of well over $38,000, the Dodge Charger is a lot of car for a lot of money. JD Power and Associates rated the 2008 Dodge Charger the 2nd best large car in the U.S. Even so, the Charger scored only 2 out of a possible 5 rating when JD Powers put the behemoth through their various paces. 

The standard Dodge Charger gets a measly 13mpg in the city (19 on the highway), and is subject to a special $1700 gas-guzzler tax because of its gas hogging habits.  The Dodge Charger is rated below average on reliability scales as well. The 2009 version features a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine that gets up to 425hp. An all wheel drive model of the Dodge Charger is also available.

Dodge Charger insurance & safety features

The Dodge Charger came standard with front and side curtain airbags until 2009, when the airbags were made optional. Late model Dodge Chargers feature antilock brakes (ABS) and electronic stability control. The 2009 Dodge Charger gets a five–star, front end crash test rating; a four-star side crash test rating; and a four-star rollover rating.

Chargers without optional side airbags are rated Poor; older 2006-07 models with side airbags received a Marginal rating. In rear impact tests, the Charger also receives a Marginal rating. In short, while the newer Chargers with airbags perform satisfactorily in crash tests, the Dodge Charger is a car marketed toward a male muscle car audience, and this makes it around $134 a month in insurance premiums – most certainly an expensive vehicle to insure! Of course, you can still find exceptionally low rates on your Dodge Charger simply by altering your plan, or choosing higher deductibles.
