Dodge Charger vs. Kia Amanti Review

Utility
The Dodge Charger and the Kia Amanti can accommodate the same number of passengers.

Performance
Regarding horsepower, the Dodge Charger packs quite a punch and will knock the Amanti down a few rungs. On the flip side, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
The Kia's tank is approximately the same size as the Charger's, though the Dodge Charger's is slightly bigger. The Kia Amanti and the Dodge Charger compete for the same parking spaces. The Dodge Charger's longer wheelbase will likely result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the flip side, the Kia Amanti may give a more maneuverable feel in daily traffic.

Convenience
You won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Kia than with the Charger, as both offer comparable mileage ranges.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Dodge Charger to the dealership as the Kia. As far as fuel economy, the Kia Amanti and the Dodge don't differ much. The Kia Amanti doesn't pale in comparison to the Dodge Charger with respect to gas mileage. When it comes to MSRP, the Dodge Charger costs considerably more than the Kia Amanti.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Amanti and the Dodge Charger definitely handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Kia has a more massive engine than the Dodge Charger. Note that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. The Charger could learn a lesson or two from the Kia Amanti with respect to pickup. Torque equals pickup, and the Kia Amanti will have picked up and gone by the time the Dodge Charger finally gets moving.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the Kia Amanti's front cabin compared to the Charger. The Dodge Charger is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the Kia Amanti.

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the Dodge Charger isn't quite as generous as the Kia Amanti's.
