If you're weighing a 2023 Dodge Charger, the short answer is yes — it earns a look for thrilling V8 acceleration, and iconic styling turns heads everywhere. The honest trade-off: higher fuel consumption with V8. This example sold for $29,995, showed 94,299 km and is rated an official 11.2 L/100km combined.

This 2023 Dodge Charger SXT AWD is ready to handle a Canadian winter with confidence, wrapped in a clean White exterior with 94,299km on the odometer. Powered by the smooth 3.6L Pentastar V6 and paired with All-Wheel Drive, it blends everyday comfort with genuine performance. Loaded with Apple CarPlay, heated seats, and a Sport Mode for when you want a little more excitement behind the wheel.

What stood out about this one

I've always had a soft spot for the Charger — there's just nothing else quite like it on the road today, and this one caught my eye the moment it came onto our lot. The white paint looks sharp against the alloy wheels, and knowing it's an AWD model makes it an easy recommendation for anyone driving through a London winter.

What I like most about this particular Charger is that it's been equipped with the features people actually use every day — heated seats, Apple CarPlay, remote start for those frosty mornings, and Sport Mode for when you want a little fun on a nice day. It doesn't feel like a stripped-down commuter car; it feels like a Charger.

If you've been holding out for a car with real road presence instead of another SUV, come see this one at South West Auto Group. I think you'll understand why I'm excited about it the moment you sit behind the wheel.

What to check before you buy

  • Confirm whether the Charger's AWD system has had recent fluid services, as this system requires specific maintenance intervals.
  • Ask about the condition of the Pentastar V6's timing chain and any maintenance history available.
  • Check tire wear patterns, as AWD Chargers can wear tires unevenly if rotations were missed.
  • Take it for a highway test drive to feel how the Charger's AWD system handles higher speeds and cornering.

This 2023 Dodge Charger Sedan was sold by South West Auto Group in London, Ontario. If you are looking at something similar, have a look at what is on the lot now — and if you want a straight answer about whether it is the right fit, just ask.
