The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating utilizes a "fishhook" maneuver which is a series of abrupt turns at varying speeds to see how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2006 Dodge Charger Review
"Dodge revives a name from the past for a sedan companion to its Magnum wagon. Charger arrives midyear as a 2006 model. It shares Magnum's underskin design, but is available only with rear-wheel drive vs. Magnum's choice of rear- or all-wheel drive.

Both seat five and offer V6 and V8 engines. Magnum has three versions: SE with a 190-hp 2.7-liter V6, SXT with a 250-hp 3.5-liter V6, and RT with a 340-hp 5.7-liter ""Hemi"" V8. AWD is available on SXT and RT. Charger offers two models, an SE that comes with the 3.5 V6, and an R/T with the 5.7 V8.

The V8 has Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System, which deactivates four cylinders under light throttle conditions to save fuel. All Magnums and Chargers have automatic transmission, a 4-speed with the 2.7 V6 and on rear-drive Magnum SXT, a 5-speed on other versions.

Four-wheel disc brakes are standard. ABS and antiskid/traction control are optional on the Magnum SE, standard on other models. Available on all is a Protection Group that includes front side airbags and front and rear head-protecting curtain side airbags. Seventeen-inch wheels are standard on SE versions, 18s are optional on the Charger SE and standard on the remaining models. RT and R/T add firmer suspension tuning.

Split folding rear seatbacks are standard on all but Charger SE. Magnum has a rear liftgate without separate-opening glass. Among options available on all models are adjustable pedals, satellite radio, and Chrysler's UConnect hands-free wireless cell-phone link.

Leather upholstery is standard on the RT and R/T, optional on the others. Available for Charger R/T are the Road/Track Performance and Daytona R/T packages, both with a 350-hp V8, special suspension tuning, and unique trim.

Due later in the model year is a high-performance Magnum SRT-8 with a 425-hp 6.1-liter version of the Hemi V8. Magnum and Charger share a platform with Chrysler's 300 sedan.
