LX Charger (sedan revival, 2006–2010)
2006–2010
The sixth-generation LX Charger (2006–2010) revived the nameplate after two decades — but as a rear-wheel-drive FOUR-DOOR sedan on the Mercedes-influenced LX platform, a decision that split enthusiasts who knew the Charger only as a coupe. It paired modern-muscle styling with Hemi V8 power, including the 425-hp 6.1 Hemi SRT8, and laid the foundation for the long-running modern Charger.
