Are you shopping dealer lots for a large, high-performance sedan? Why not put the 2020 Charger on your shortlist of must-test-drives. This 50th-anniversary modern muscle car beats the classics with a combination of thrilling power under the hood and dynamic good looks. Here are five reasons to take one for a spin.
1. Expansive Lineup of Trim Levels
The 2020 Charger offers an aggressive stance and plenty of flair. It’s available in seven trim levels from the base SXT to the 717-horsepower Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition. The sporty GT touts a rear lip spoiler, hood scoop, and 20-inch wheels, while the midrange R/T and Scat Pack piles on even more high-performance gear such as dual air extractors. When you demand an even more menacing look, opt for one of the Widebody editions. Either the Scat Pack or the SRT Hellcat will do nicely.
2. Power to Spare
With the Charger, you’ve got choices under the hood. Go with the energetic 3.6-liter base V-6 or head right to the top of the pack with the 707-horsepower supercharged Hellcat. The stock powerhouse produces 300 horsepower and is paired with a standard eight-speed automatic transmission, while the 6.2-liter V-8 can launch this sedan from zero to 60 mph in a mere 3.5 seconds. You can also pick one of the options in between, such as the 370 horsepower 5.7-liter V-8 that delivers a genuine muscle-car feel or the 6.4-liter that belts out an outstanding 485 ponies.
3. Stellar Performance
This new Charger sedan outperforms the classics with its exceptional driving dynamics. This big sedan darts confidently in and out of rush hour traffic and glides smoothly over minor imperfections in the road. The adaptive, sport-tuned suspension and wider wheels on the Scat Pack and Hellcat variants deliver improved grip and tighter cornering ability. Charger models outfitted with the base engine are also available with all-wheel drive. It’s a worthy upgrade for Casper residents who deal with an excess of snow.
4. Refined Interior
The Charger’s cabin is spacious, especially its front row. Even the back seat fits adult occupants with plenty of head-, hip-, and shoulder room. It’s much more spacious than your classic two-door muscle car. The Charger’s seats provide plenty of contoured bolstering and lumbar support for a comfortable road trip and will keep you securely in place when the road gets curvy.
5. Loads of Advanced Safety Features
The engineers at Dodge care about the safety of you and your passengers. That’s why they equipped the 2020 Charger with a collection of modern driver safety aids that help you become more aware of your surroundings, keep a close eye on the road, and alerts you of impending danger. You’ll appreciate a standard rearview camera and rear parking sensors. Add the optional Technology Group and get adaptive cruise control, forward collision alerts, and lane keeping assist.
Many motorists have a nostalgia for old Chargers, but you shouldn’t overlook the latest model. Have a rip-roaring good time with a test drive at your local Dodge showroom today.
