2020 Dodge Charger: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest 2020 Dodge Charger change is the expansion of the Widebody performance range: it becomes standard on the SRT Hellcat, and a new Scat Pack Widebody joins the lineup. The GT also gains an all-wheel-drive version, but this is not a full redesign.
About the 2020 Dodge Charger
LD generation (2011-2023), late-cycle model year; 2020 expands the Widebody performance range rather than launching a redesign.
Dodge positions the Charger as America’s only four-door muscle car: a roomy five-seat sedan that mixes family-car usefulness with bold styling and big-engine character. The appeal is straightforward: available V8 power, rear-drive attitude, usable back seat and trunk space, and a much louder personality than a typical full-size sedan. V6 models add a more everyday-friendly side, including available AWD, but the Charger’s core identity is still straight-line speed, sound, and presence.
For 2020, the GT pairs muscle-car styling and a 300-hp V6 with rear- or all-wheel drive, while the R/T remains the entry point to HEMI V8 power. The 485-hp Scat Pack Widebody emphasizes grip and braking, and the 707-hp SRT Hellcat combines standard wide fenders with adaptive suspension, large Brembo brakes, and track-focused drive tools.
