Here Is The Low Down On The 2020 Dodge Charger Lineup:

Dodge's Big Sedan Returns With Revised Packaging...

Back in June, Dodge//SRT showed the world their upcoming Charger Scat Pack Widebody and Charger SRT HELLCAT Widebody models to the media. But not much was said about the rest of the 2020 Dodge Charger lineup. But the Widebody models aren’t the only thing new for the 2020 model year.  So let’s take a quick look at the new 2020 Dodge Charger lineup.

If you want to read more about the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT HELLCAT (which is now standard with the Widebody configuration) or the 2020 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Widebody, we have already covered them earlier this year. We also covered the limited edition 717 horsepower 2020 Dodge Charger SRT HELLCAT Daytona Widebody as well.

While the Charger returns with the same lineup as last year, there is much to talk about. In its lineup, there are about a dozen combinations of different Charger variants, but Dodge//SRT has six trim levels for the car. Models like Daytona are listed under the R/T and R/T Scat Pack nameplates, respectfully. 

So what is new for the new model year? A lot. Dodge//SRT poured a lot of new content into the new cars.

Exterior Colors:

The 2020 Dodge Charger has three new colors for the new model year. Gone is B5 Blue (will run on the limited edition 2020 Dodge Charger SRT HELLCAT Daytona Widebody only), Sublime, Destroyer Grey, Plum Crazy, and Yellow Jacket. Those colors are being replaced with Frostbite (which made its debut on the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT HELLCAT Widebody), Hellraisin (also known as BlackEye in its concept form), and Sinamon Stick, all three will be available later in the model year. Nine colors do return for the 2020 model year, those colors include, F8 Green, Go ManGO!, Granite Crystal, IndiGO Blue, Octane Red, Pitch Black, TorRed, Triple Nickle, and White Knuckle.

The 2020 Dodge Charger continues to be only of the most diverse sedans on the market. Charger SXT AWD includes the segment’s most technologically advanced all-wheel-drive system with a segment-exclusive active transfer case and front-axle disconnect system to improve real-world fuel economy. While Charger GT and R/T, provide some of the best performance value out of any rear-wheel-drive sedans.

Both the Charger GT and R/T models feature a standard performance suspension, Bilstein shock absorbers, 3.07 rear axle ratio on Charger GT models, enhanced steering, steering wheel with paddle shifters, Dodge Performance Pages with the 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, performance bolstered seats, and 20-inch Satin Carbon and Black Noise wheel options. GT and R/T models also receive the performance look from the Scat Pack with the same performance hood, fascia, sculpted side sills, spoiler, and seats.

Non-Widebody 2020 Dodge Charger Scat Pack models feature the standard performance grille with dual air inlets and Scat Pack Bee badges on the grille and decklid, that were updated last year. Charger Scat Pack offers the most horsepower for a sedan under $40,000 USD. Charger Scat Pack also receives a ton of performance goodies… 

  • Launch Control – manages tire slip while launching the vehicle to allow the driver to achieve consistent straight-line acceleration.
  • Launch Assist – uses wheel speed sensors to watch for driveline-damaging wheel hop at launch and, in milliseconds, modifies the engine torque to regain full grip.
  • Line Lock – engages the front brakes to hold the vehicle stationary but leaves the rear wheels free for a burnout to heat up and clean the rear tires.

For all HEMI models, a standard 2.75-inch electronically controlled active exhaust system is standard, giving the Charger a signature muscle car sound. Also on Scat Pack and R/T models is the optional Harman Kardon audio system with amplifier and 19 GreenEdge speakers, for those who are diehard audiophiles. On all cars equipped with leather, premium French live-stitching is featured on the instrument panel and upper doors.
