Plenty of leg room and comfortable seats for long road trips.No knees bumping the front seats even with the front seats all the way back. see full Dodge Charger review |
2008 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 5.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Enough roon for a big guy like me to be totally comfortable. No having to hold my legs in an odd position, like one of my past cars, or put my left arm in an uncomfortable spot to be able to relax it. Having big feet makes many cars torture devices. see full Dodge Charger review |

VERY roomy. I am a big guy (just over 6 feet and 300lbs) and I am very comfortable in this car. It has almost as much room up front as my 1966 Impala! see full Dodge Charger review |

2017 | 4dr Sedan 415-horsepower 6.2L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Rear seat is functional and roomy. I'm 6'4" and with the drivers seat in my preferred postion there is still a decent amount of legroom behind. Overall much better than the Charger/Challenger. see full Chevrolet SS review |

The front seat is just OK. Feels like a pretty flat bottom and fairly hard. Also, for a car with sporting pretentions there is surprisingly little side bolstering. see full Chevrolet SS review |
