When buying a vehicle, many factors need to be considered when making your decision. Not only do you need to think about performance, reliability, cost, and aesthetics, you also have to make sure driving your vehicle is going to be comfortable. Driving in a car not built for tall people can be incredibly uncomfortable if you are over a certain height. According to Consumer Reports, the 2022 Dodge Charger is perfect for tall drivers.

In addition to the Charger, Consumer Reports released a list of some of the best cars for tall drivers. For their list, Consumer Reports explains their methodology includes judging particular vehicle features, including balance of legroom, headroom, and comfortable reach to the steering wheel.
Consumer Reports senior auto testing technician Ryan Pszczolkowski, who himself is 6 feet 2 inches tall, mentions that “tall drivers don’t necessarily have to buy a bigger vehicle to find comfort.” Pszczolkowski adds that he cautions drivers that some models sacrifice passenger room in order to give the driver more space and recommends keeping that in consideration when purchasing a vehicle that will often have passengers.
Some other vehicles on the list include the Honda Pilot, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Volvo XC90, and the Porsche Cayenne.
Why is the Dodge Charger so good for tall drivers?
A tall driver may not find a better vehicle to buy than the 2022 Dodge Charger. According to Consumer Reports, the Charger is not only stylish, but it’s also “refined, comfortable, and luxurious.” The car provides a good amount of space to stretch out and provides a significant headroom and legroom, suitable for just about any height. An adequate amount of headroom and legroom is essential for not only comfort but also safety. A driver who doesn’t have enough room may put extra pressure on the pedals, which may end up causing a crash.
In addition to having a spacious and comfortable interior, the 2022 Charger comes with several great engine choices, including a powerful 485-hp V8, the smaller 5.7 liter V8, and the all-wheel drive sporting V6. All engine options come with an eight-speed shiftable automatic transmission. The Charger also has several optional features, including attractive safety options such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and more.
Depending on the package, a 2022 Dodge Charger comes in with an MSRP range of $32,500 to $74,900.
The 2022 Chrysler 300 is also good for tall drivers
If the 2022 Dodge Charger isn’t your style, another great option for tall drivers is the 2022 Chrysler 300. Consumer Reports calls the roomy Chrysler 300 “one of the best large sedans on the market.” Adding that “inside there’s plenty of space for five adults in the comfortable seats.” The 300 comes equipped with either a powerful 5.7 liter V8 or a 3.6 liter V6, which takes advantage of a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. If you want an all-wheel drive, you must choose the V6 engine as it is not available with the V-8.
To go along with the powerful engine and roomy interior, the 300 comes with responsive handling and a quiet cabin, giving the vehicle an authentic luxury feel, despite the much lower price than your typical luxury vehicle. The 2022 Chrysler 300 comes with an MSRP range of $31,770 to $42,155. Of course, price is dependent on the optional features you choose for your vehicle. Nonetheless, it’s an excellent option for the price.
