TCC’s Bottom Line

With V-8 power, agile handling, and a spacious five-passenger interior, the 2017 Chevrolet SS is sedan equivalent of the Camaro coupe.

With standard rear-wheel drive and several flavors of V-6 and V-8 power on offer, the 2017 Dodge Charger is a large family sedan with the heart of a proper muscle car.

TCC Likes

Corvette power in a rear-drive sedan
Great performance
Clean, simple interface

Rear-wheel drive V-8 performance at an affordable price
Even the V-6 is impressive
Terrific handling and ride quality

TCC Dislikes

Anonymous compared to rivals and even the front-drive Chevrolet Impala
Notable highway road noise
Automatic transmission disappointingly lazy

Heavy and thirsty with the V-8
Interior can feel a little low buck against luxury rivals
All-wheel drive only with V-6
