2016 DODGE CHARGER

If you're searching for a 2016 Dodge Charger SXT for sale in South Gate, CA, Car Zone Auto Mall has exactly what you're looking for. This rear-wheel-drive American muscle sedan combines bold styling, a capable V6 engine, and a roomy interior — all at a price point that makes serious performance accessible. With just over 96,000 miles, this Charger SXT represents the kind of well-priced, high-character used car that moves fast in the Los Angeles market.

About This 2016 Dodge Charger SXT

The 2016 Charger SXT hits the sweet spot for buyers who want the look and feel of a performance sedan without the premium of the R/T or Hellcat trims. At 96,104 miles, this Charger is squarely in mid-life territory — enough break-in to know it runs well, but plenty of road left ahead with proper maintenance. The Charger platform is known for its durability, and a well-kept SXT at this mileage is a genuinely solid buy in the Southern California used car market.

2016 Dodge Charger Performance and Engine

3.6-Liter Pentastar V6

Under the hood sits Dodge's legendary 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, one of the most proven engines in the modern American automotive landscape. This engine produces 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, giving the Charger SXT real-world muscle that surprises drivers expecting a watered-down base model.
 

8-Speed Automatic with AutoStick

Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission featuring AutoStick manual-shift control, gear changes are smooth under everyday driving and responsive when you want to press harder. The 8-speed setup also contributes to better highway fuel efficiency than older 5- or 6-speed configurations, making this Charger a practical daily driver for commuters navigating the 710, the 105, or the 405 regularly. Rear-wheel drive gives the Charger its signature planted, driver-focused feel that front-wheel-drive sedans simply can't match.

Dodge Charger SXT Features and Interior

The SXT trim on the 2016 Charger is genuinely well-equipped. Buyers can expect standard features that include a Uconnect infotainment system with a touchscreen interface, Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, keyless entry, and push-button start. The interior offers seating for five with impressive rear passenger space — one of the Charger's most underrated qualities compared to competitors like the Camry or Accord.

The cabin features a driver-focused cockpit design with a center console that puts controls within natural reach. Dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and available heated front seats on SXT Plus packages make this feel like more car than the price suggests. The trunk space at 16.5 cubic feet is class-competitive and practical for everyday use.

Dodge Charger Reliability and Ownership

The 2016 Dodge Charger has earned a reputation as one of the more dependable full-size American sedans of its generation. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 in particular is widely regarded as one of Chrysler-Fiat's most reliable powerplants — it's used across a broad range of their lineup and has a strong track record for longevity when maintained with regular oil changes and fluid services.

Owners of this generation Charger frequently highlight the smooth transmission, comfortable highway ride, and how the car continues to feel substantial and responsive well past 100,000 miles. Common maintenance items to stay on top of include transmission fluid, rear differential fluid (important on RWD platforms), and brake inspections. At 96,000 miles, a prospective buyer should verify those service items have been addressed — but this is by no means a high-risk purchase at this mileage for a V6 Charger.
