2023 Dodge Charger MPG & Specs By Trim
2023 Dodge Charger SXT MPG
Starting the lineup with the highest Dodge Charger MPG ratings, the SXT trim comes standard with a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that makes 292 horsepower, paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission and a classic fun-loving RWD layout. However, the SXT trim is unique, as it is one of two that can bestow the Dodge Charger with AWD.
With a RWD layout, the Charger SXT delivers an EPA-estimated 19/30 MPG (city/highway).1 When you select it with AWD, the engine will be revised to make 300 horsepower, but the Dodge Charger MPG rating will naturally fall, achieving a still-impressive EPA-estimated 18/27 MPG (city/highway).2
2023 Dodge Charger GT MPG
With almost identical mechanical specs to the SXT trim and the same Dodge Charger MPG ratings, the Charger GT offers great everyday fun via the same 3.6-liter V-6 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission seen above. It also is the only other trim to provide an available AWD configuration for snowy commutes and clear-road precision.
Its exterior styling is significantly more sporty, and some more interior features make it a great step above the Charger SXT. And, as previously mentioned, the Dodge Charger fuel economy figures are the same across SXT and GT trims, delivering an EPA-estimated 19/30 MPG (city/highway)1 with RWD, and an EPA-estimated 18/27 MPG (city/highway)2 with AWD.
2023 Dodge Charger R/T MPG
Bringing a new engine and, as a result, a new set of Dodge Charger MPG ratings, the Charger R/T is an ideal first, second, or even third step into the world of V-8 muscle. It includes an iconic 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine that shakes the ground with every instance of combustion.
Step into the Charger R/T, and you can expect 370 horsepower, 395 pound-feet of torque, an eight-speed automatic transmission, RWD, and an EPA-estimated 16/25 MPG (city/highway).3
2023 Dodge Charger Scat Pack MPG
This is the most-thrilling middle ground possible. When you finance your new Dodge Charger Scat Pack, you'll get the fury of a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine rumbling under the hood. It makes a whopping 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque, stampeding the horses through an eight-speed automatic transmission and through to the rear wheels.
Despite gaining huge ground in power over the R/T trim, the Charger gas mileage figures don't drop significantly here, as the Charger Scat Pack delivers an EPA-estimated 15/24 MPG (city/highway).4 The Scat Pack Widebody delivers identical EPA-estimated MPG ratings.4
2023 Dodge Charger Hellcat MPG
Does the Charger Hellcat need an introduction? After eight years on the prowl, we don't think so. But if you haven't been shown the true meaning of power, all you really need to know is that this beast makes an absurd output of 717 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. That power comes from a 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine, which produces a soundtrack more addicting than the available Harman Kardon® audio system.
Unsurprisingly, it trades efficiency for power — but that's something future Hellcat drivers know before they even take a test drive. In particular, the Dodge Charger MPG rating for the Hellcat is an EPA-estimated 12/21 MPG (city/highway).5 The available Widebody does not affect its EPA-estimated MPG ratings.5
2023 Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye MPG
The highest output in the Dodge Charger lineup (excluding the limited-edition 807-horsepower Charger King Daytona) can be found in the Hellcat Redeye trim. The power here comes from the Hellcat trim's 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 engine but with special revisions turning it into a high-output variant. How high an output qualifies for the "high-output" label? This absolute monster unleashes 797 horsepower and 707 pound-feet of torque onto pavement near Washington, D.C.
As you'd expect, having the most powerful engine in the Dodge Charger lineup means having the lowest Dodge Charger MPG ratings. However, the Dodge Charger MPG ratings are the same between Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye trims — an EPA-estimated 12/21 MPG (city/highway).5 The Charger Hellcat Redeye is only available as a Widebody model for 2023.
What Is the Dodge Charger Gas Type?
Now that you know the Dodge Charger MPG ratings, you're probably wondering what fuel powers each trim. Below is a closer look of the Charger sedan's recommended fuel type:
- SXT: Regular gas — 87-octane or higher
- GT: Regular gas — 87-octane or higher
