2021 Dodge Charger Trims Comparison

2021 Charger trim level differences

The 2021 Charger is available in six major trim levels: SXT, GT, R/T, Scat Pack, SRT Hellcat and SRT Hellcat Redeye. All Chargers use an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, though the SXT and GT trims offer all-wheel drive as an option.

The Charger comes with five available engines.

  • The SXT and GT have a 3.6-liter V6 (292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft, or 300 hp and 264 lb-ft for the rear-wheel-drive GT and all-wheel-drive SXT and GT)
  • The R/T gets a 5.7-liter V8 (370 hp, 395 lb-ft)
  • Stepping up to the Scat Pack introduces a 6.4-liter V8, also known as the 392 (485 hp, 475 lb-ft)
  • SRT Hellcats use a supercharged 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine (717 hp, 650 lb-ft)
  • The top dog, or cat, is the SRT Hellcat Redeye's even more powerful supercharged 6.2-liter V8 (797 hp, 707 lb-ft)

Trim levels include:

  • High-performance brakes

Various option packages (Dodge refers to them as groups) can be had across multiple trim levels and can include technology, luxury, styling and performance features. Significant ones to be on the lookout for include:

  • Plus Group
  • Daytona Edition Group
  • Technology Group
  • Blacktop Package
  • Performance Handling Group
  • Driver Convenience Group
  • Navigation and Travel Group

Which 2021 Charger trim does Edmunds recommend?

The Charger experience is best enjoyed with a V8 engine. But we think the 6.4-liter available in the Scat Pack offers the best bang for your buck, and it opens up the option for the desirable wide-body treatment. To that, we'd add the Navigation and Travel package and the Driver Confidence package. We'd also spring for the Widebody package because it looks so cool.
