2020 Dodge Challenger: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2020 Dodge Challenger is the arrival of the 807-hp SRT Super Stock, a new drag-focused range-topper. Dodge also marks the Challenger’s 50th birthday with several anniversary editions, while the rest of the lineup receives smaller appearance and equipment updates.
About the 2020 Dodge Challenger
3rd generation Challenger (2008-2023), late-cycle special-edition year.
Dodge positions the Challenger as the heritage-rich muscle coupe that mixes old-school looks with real everyday usefulness. The official messaging leans on its classic shape, huge horsepower spread, roomy cabin, available AWD on V6 models, and a lineup that runs from comfortable daily-driver trims to drag-strip specials. Compared with other muscle coupes, the Challenger’s identity is less about being the lightest or sharpest and more about presence, straight-line performance, usable space, and a wide range of personalities.
The 2020 lineup stretches from the everyday SXT and sportier GT V6 models to a broad range of V8-powered muscle cars. Standouts include the 6.4-liter R/T Scat Pack, the 717-hp SRT Hellcat, the 797-hp Hellcat Redeye, and the new 807-hp SRT Super Stock with drag-tuned suspension and launch-focused hardware. The 50th Anniversary models add numbered production, special badging, unique lighting, and upgraded interior trim.
What changed, by category
Powertrain

Styling

Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest change to the 2020 Dodge Challenger?
The biggest change is the new SRT Super Stock, an 807-hp drag-focused model positioned above the 797-hp Hellcat Redeye. It adds specialized suspension and launch hardware for quicker straight-line performance.
What is special about the 2020 Challenger 50th Anniversary editions?
The 50th Anniversary editions are heritage-focused models with special badging, unique lighting, anniversary gauge graphics, upgraded cabin materials, and a Satin Black hood treatment. They were offered in GT, R/T, R/T Scat Pack, and R/T Scat Pack Widebody forms during the 2020 model year.
How does the 2020 Challenger SRT Super Stock differ from the Hellcat Redeye?
The SRT Super Stock has 807 hp instead of the Redeye’s 797 hp and is more narrowly focused on drag-strip launches. It uses drag-tuned adaptive suspension, a performance limited-slip differential, and launch-focused features including Line Lock, Launch Control, Torque Reserve, and Race Cooldown.
Is the 2020 Dodge Challenger a major redesign?
No, the 2020 Challenger is not a redesign. It remains part of the third generation and receives new special-edition trims, the SRT Super Stock, and smaller wheel, badge, interior, and equipment updates.
Is the 2020 Challenger worth considering over the 2019 model?
The 2020 model is most compelling if you want the SRT Super Stock or one of the 50th Anniversary editions. Otherwise, the differences are modest and center on wheel designs, badges, cabin trim, and changes to remote-start equipment on several trims.
2020 Dodge Challenger Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2020 Dodge Challenger.
4.6
2020 Dodge Challenger
(146 reviews)
“Very powerful rear wheel drive is not for the inexperienced. Consider the automatic transmission if commuting. Atrocious gas mileage. High ""cool"" factor, especially with a manual transmission. Consider the Charger if you will regularly have passengers in the back. Not for snowy days with rear wheel drive.”
“If you want a muscle car with classic yet updated looks, solid performance, and a surprisingly updated infotainment (and optional navigation) system, Challenger R/T is a great choice.”
