2021 Dodge Charger SXT

The first trim level of the new Charger is the SXT trim. Even though this is the “base” trim, it still provides a lot of features. The SXT offers a 3.6L V6 delivering 292 horsepower to the rear wheels along with an 8-speed automatic transmission and dual exhaust.

The center screen is sized up to an 8.4 display with up to one year of SiriusXM Guardian Connected Vehicle Services.

2021 Dodge Charger GT

This trim level is close to the SXT AWD trim however it is RWD which in turn makes it cheaper. It comes with the same 300 horsepower engine and 8-speed transmission with paddle shifters. It also keeps the sport mode and adds other performance packages like Super Track Pak and Three-mode Electronic Stability Control. The exterior is well upgraded with a sleeker grille, 20 x 8 inch wheels, and a functional hood scoop. The touchscreen remains the same 8.4 inch display but the seats are now cloth trimmed performance seats to go with the performance steering wheel.

2021 Dodge Charger GT AWD

The GT AWD is very similar to the regular GT but the All Wheel Drive system allows it to be driven more reliable in all seasons. The All Wheel Drive also helps with performance, allowing it to get off the line quicker for a faster 0-60 time. Engine and transmission are the same as the previous but the suspension is the normal duty suspension instead of the performance suspension. Exterior and interior have all of the same features as the regular Rear Wheel Drive GT trim.

2021 Dodge Charger R/T

This trim level is where the charger starts to get even more exciting. This one includes the profound 5.7L HEMI V8 producing 370 horsepower, 395 lb-ft of torque and an active exhaust. It also comes with a high-output 8-speed transmission with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. It has the same wheels and tires as the GT but it does include HEMI and R/T badges. The speedometer also increases to a maximum of 160 mph.

2021 Dodge Charger Scat Pack

Dodge decided for an extra $4,000 they would throw a special engine in the 2021 Dodge Charger Scat Pack. This trim level gets the 392 cubic inch, 6.4L HEMI V8 delivering an impressive number of 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. The brakes are now black, 4 piston Brembo brakes which accommodate the high performance suspension, anti spin rear differential, and launch assist. The performance grille is one of the upgrades they made to the exterior along with wider tires (20 x 9 inch wheels) and a deck lid spoiler. The seats are now more performance oriented with Scat Pack embroidery logos. The Scat Pack gets a heated steering wheel, 180 mph max speed speedometer, and SRT configurable drive modes.

2021 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Widebody

The Widebody trim compliments the regular Scat Pack with adaptive suspension, special Widebody aerodynamics, and 6 piston Brembo breaks for the front. The fender flares add 3.5 inches of overall width which means you can fit fatter tiers underneath. This trim level runs 20 x 11 inch aluminum wheels with 305/35ZR20 performance tires on the outside. The steering wheel is also leather wrapped and flattened at the bottom to accommodate the performance shift indicator.

2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat

This trim level is second from the top but don’t let the trim rankings fool you. This beast could put you back in your seat real quick. It’s supercharged 6.2L HEMI generates 717 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque fitted to the high-output 8-speed transmission. The supercharger, which already makes a beautiful sound, can push out 11.6 psi of boost. All that pairing up with the same wide tires as the Scat Pack and upgraded steering push this car from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds.
