What’s New for 2020?

The latest generation of the iconic Dodge Challenger receives a few minor upgrades for the 2020 sales year. A limited-edition 50 th Anniversary Edition Challenger can be special ordered, while nine new wheel designs can be added to select trim levels. There are also several new exterior and interior color combinations, that can be added to different Challenger trims and special editions.

The 2020 Dodge Challenger is available in nine trims including: SXT, GT, R/T, R/T Scat Pack, R/T Scat Pack Widebody, SRT Hellcat, SRT Hellcat Widebody, SRT Hellcat Redeye, and SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody.

Performance Options

Make no mistake, the 2020 Dodge Challenger’s powertrain is the heartbeat of this ground-pounder. For 2020, the Challenger is available with five unique engine combinations. The opening entry is the Dodge 3.6-Liter Pentastar® V6 Engine that’s offered standard with the SXT and GT. It produces 303 horsepower and 268 lb.-ft of torque.

The next powertrain option is the 5.7-Liter HEMI® V8 engine offered with the Challenger R/T. This engine produces 375 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft of torque. The 392 HEMI® V8 is offered with the R/T Scat Pack. Its output is 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft of torque.

While the power options above are subtle enhancements, the next level is an elephant-level increase of performance. This is the Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® SRT® Hellcat V8 Engine. Belting out an impressive 717 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft of torque, this powertrain is capable of quarter-mile times in the ten-second zone at speeds over 130 miles per hour.

Just when you thought those performance numbers couldn’t be eclipsed, the Supercharged Hellcat Redeye variant enters the fray. Offered with the limited-edition Hellcat Redeye, this 6.2-liter engine produces up to 797 horsepower and up to 707 lb.-ft of torque. Each engine is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and is offered in rear wheel or all wheel drive. A six-speed manual is offered with select trim levels.

Interior Comfort for Performance Coupe

Make no mistake, the 2020 Dodge Challenger is a performance coupe – inside and out. Like most modern muscle cars, the interior is built for improved driving capability. It starts with track-inspired bucket seating.

These performance-based bucket seats fit your body’s contour, allowing you to feel your way through each twist and turn you drive. Accent stitching is customized to the trim level, including the Scat Pack Bee, SRT® Hellcat, and SRT® Hellcat Redeye logos on like-minded trims.

The Challenger can also be enhanced with ventilated and heated front seats, Heritage Tic-Toc-Tach gauges, digital driver information cluster, and more. Additionally, the Challenger offers class-leading interior cargo volume, passenger room, and the only one to fit five passengers.

Technology and Connectivity

Each 2020 Challenger is equipped with Dodge’s Uconnect® infotainment system. There are multiple levels that are available, including the 4C NAV platform that includes navigation, an 8.4-inch touchscreen display, hands-free calling, and an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

There are two available premium sound systems to consider. The Alpine® Audio Group comes with nine fine-tuned speakers, a subwoofer, and 506-watt amplifier. Additionally, a Harman Kardon® Audio system pushes capacity to 900-watts, through two subwoofers and up to 18-speakers strategically placed through the cabin.

Driver-Assisted Safety Features

With so much power available under the hood, it would be logical to assume that the 2020 Challenger is packed with safety technology. You’d be right to assume such. As a matter of fact, the 2020 Dodge Challenger is engineered for safety first and foremost. Specially designed rear and front crumple zones absorb energy upon impact, which reflects it from passengers to reduce potential injuries.

Driver-assisted technology is likewise robust and inclusive. Available systems including automatic high-beam headlamps improve illumination for approaching vehicles, while blind-spot monitoring assists drivers change lanes when obstructions are detected.

Other safety systems including adaptive cruise control, full-speed forward collision warning, and Parkview® rear back-up camera also help to reduce vehicle collisions.
