Dodge equipped the 2020 Charger with user-friendly tech features, refined handling, and a robust lineup of engines. If you’re in the market for a large sedan and a comfortable cruiser, the Charger is worth a spot on your short-list. Here are the top four things you need to know about the 2020 Dodge Charger.
Powerful Engine Options
The new Charger features a base, 3.6-liter V-6 engine. It’s good for 300 horsepower and delivers an energetic feel, thanks to its standard, eight-speed automatic transmission. It produces ample power for passing on the highway, and comes with rear-wheel drive, or upgrade to all-wheel drive for better performance when you find yourself in snowy conditions.
If you’re looking for something a little more exciting under the hood, opt for one of Charger’s V-8s. The R/T variants deliver that genuine muscle-car feel and lovely exhaust burble that you’d expect from its 370 horsepower, 5.7-liter V-8. There’s also the Scat Pack’s 6.4-liter V-8, which belts out 485 horsepower and can launch this big sedan from zero to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. If you’re looking for more move up the trim levels to the Charger Hellcat’s supercharged 6.2-liter V-8. You’ll get an outstanding 707 horsepower.
Composed Handling and Performance
If you’re looking for performance to go with your horsepower, the new Charger delivers. This sporty sedan offers spirited drivers plenty of high-end performance dynamics. It confidently darts through tight corners with little body lean, while its standard suspension system and 17- or 19-inch wheels glide smoothly over bumps and dips in the road. The Scat Pack and Hellcat models come equipped with wider wheels and a sport-tuned suspension that significantly improves grip and cornering ability, and delivers assertive stopping power.
Roomy, Comfortable Cabin
The four-door Charger sedan offers supportive and well-cushioned seating for five passengers. Both rows of seats feature ample head- and legroom for tall occupants, even in the back. The cabin is plush and spacious, with standard cloth upholstery and power-adjustable front seats. Move up the trims and opt for genuine leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, and the added comfort of an available heated steering wheel. For families with children, Charger has three complete sets of car seat connectors, that’s more than most rival sedans offer.
User-Friendly Technology
Get your new Charger with Dodge’s excellent Uconnect infotainment system. It comes standard with a 7- or available 8.4-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and two USB ports. Upgrades include a Wi-Fi hot spot, navigation, and HD radio. The menu structure is responsive and quite user-friendly and touts crisp, clear graphics.
In addition to the Uconnect system, Dodge added driver assistance technology to every Charger trim. You’ll appreciate the added confidence of a rearview camera and rear parking sensors, plus available safety features such as blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, automatic high-beam headlights, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.
