A Car and Driver review calls the 2020 Dodge Challenger “a vehicular time machine” with bold styling and raucous sounds that recall cars from the 60s and 70s. This look is combined with modern features and serious performance hardware.

A pair of V8 engines and an enhanced widebody kit cater to enthusiasts, notes the review. Or a V6 model with optional all-wheel drive offers a vehicle for all seasons, Car and Driver says. A roomier cabin and a bigger trunk make the Dodge Challenger appealing for daily driving too. Both the V6 and V8 Challenger models earned a 26 mpg rating on the highway.

Drivers who want power above all else should check out the 700-hp-plus Hellcat, recommends  Car and Driver in their review. Available with either automatic or manual transmission, the Hellcat offers straight-line speed. “If you’re looking for max power and thrust, look no further,” Car and Driver says.

For 2020, Dodge adds some updates, including new wheel designs and finishes, more paint color options, new exterior badges and a limited-production 50th Anniversary edition, notes Car and Driver. The 50th Anniversary model includes commemorative badges and interior upgrades including nappa leather with faux suede accents and contrast stitching.

Though the Dodge Challenger’s exterior carries a nostalgic look, inside it sports technology and features that are sure to please. Every Challenger comes with a version of Dodge’s Uconnect infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The interior is also “far roomier,” says Car and Driver, noting that adults can actually use the back seats comfortably. Cargo space provides room for two suitcases with the back seat in use, and six more with the seat folded down. 

Safety features include available blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control and automatic high beams. 

If you’re feeling nostalgic for a muscle car with all of today’s bells and whistles, get to know the 2020 Dodge Challenger at Earnhardt Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram or Rodeo Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Or shop online anytime!
