2020 Dodge Charger Review

The SXT starts with a 3.6-liter V6 engine (292 hp, 260 lb-ft of torque, or slightly more with all-wheel drive selected) matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission. You get a decent number of standard features, including keyless entry and ignition, a power-adjustable driver's seat and Dodge's Uconnect infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

Next up is the GT. It still has the V6 but comes with more features such as bigger wheels, a performance suspension, front sport seats and a 8.4-inch touchscreen. The R/T is equipped similarly to the GT, but it comes with a 5.7-liter V8 engine (370 hp, 395 lb-ft).

The Scat Pack adds to the R/T a bigger 6.4-liter V8 engine (485 hp, 475 lb-ft) and Brembo high-performance brakes and a limited-slip rear differential among other performance upgrades.

For the above trim levels, a variety of optional packages are available. Highlight features include xenon headlights, an upgraded suspension and tires, a panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats and a Harman Kardon sound system. For added safety, check out the Technology Group package.

Finally, the SRT Hellcat Widebody tops the Charger line with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 (707 hp, 650 lb-ft) and almost all of the above options. The Widebody upgrade (flared wheel arches, wider wheels and tires, and adaptive suspension dampers) is also offered on the Scat Pack as an option.

For 2020, a Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition is limited to 501 units and builds on the Hellcat Widebody's features. You get a slight power increase to 717 hp, premium leather upholstery, and numerous exterior and interior treatments.
