3.6L Pentastar V6The Pentastar engine is a fantastic baseline option for everyday Charger drivers. The 3.6L V6 produces 292 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. And, with the SXT AWD and GT Charger builds the engine is tweaked to provide 300 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft. of torque. The Pentastar engine is a reliable powerplant that replaced the exceedingly dull and much-maligned SOHC V6 engine in 2010. Since then, this V6 has offered drivers a steady workhorse that packs a surprising amount of power in a V6 footprint.This engine is admittedly diminutive in stature compared to some of the others listed here. Yet the Pentastar V6 offers drivers who aren't looking for maximum output (and substantial prices) but rather want a reliable engine that can provide ample power for a fun ride on the highway, and safety when merging or overtaking, all while offering the classic rumble when the gas pedal is engaged.
