Muscle cars have obvious appeal in their sinister styling and thrilling performance, but they're almost exclusively limited to a coupe body style. There is an exception, however: the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody. This Hellcat variant is based on the standard Charger sedan but kicks down the door with a ludicrous 707-hp supercharged V8.
This is the first year you can get the new Widebody treatment for the Charger. Previously, Dodge only offered it for the related Challenger coupe. The Hellcat Widebody gains flared wheel arches to hold wider tires and wheels as well as standard adaptive suspension dampers. The extra tire and width add extra grip for acceleration and cornering stability at the absolute limit, which is nice for track-day enthusiasts. But even these wider Pirelli tires lose their grip in a hurry if you aren't careful.
It should come as no surprise that the Hellcat comes with many of the regular Charger's benefits and drawbacks. It gains points for practicality over its two-door muscle-car rivals as well as its surprisingly comfortable ride and easy-to-use infotainment system. On the downside, the Hellcat's interior quality comes across as rather plain considering how much you're paying. But when it comes to bang-for-the-buck in a sedan, it doesn't get any better than the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody.
Which Charger does Edmunds recommend?
Since the Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody is only offered in a single trim level that's almost fully loaded, there isn't much of a decision to make. We'd consider adding the premium surround-sound audio and navigation system, but that's about it.

The 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody is the high-performance variant of the Charger sedan that is covered in a separate review. The Hellcat is essentially the top trim in the lineup and comes mostly fully loaded. It also gains adaptive dampers and flared wheel arches to hold wider tires and wheels.
