2020 Dodge Charger

Car and Driver (opens in a new tab) lists three new paint colors for 2020, Frostbite, Hellraisin and Sinamon, and notes that every Charger shares an eight-speed automatic and standard rear-wheel drive, with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on a 7.0- or 8.4-inch touchscreen, though not every Charger has a Hemi V-8. Torque News (opens in a new tab) says the GT gets standard 20-by-8-inch Satin Carbon wheels, the R/T gets the same wheels as its only change apart from package shuffles, and the GT's Performance Handling Group is updated.

MotorTrend (opens in a new tab) lists fuel economy of 19/30 mpg city and highway for the standard rear-drive V-6 and a standard 7.0-inch instrument display on all trims. EPA rates the 2020 Charger at 15 to 23 mpg combined and $2,700 to $5,150 a year in fuel.

NHTSA lists three recall campaigns for the 2020 Charger. 20V512000 covers a backup camera image that does not display in reverse when stealth mode is selected, 21V516000 a windshield that may not have been properly bonded during manufacturing and could detach in a crash, and 24V198000 side curtain air-bag inflators that may rupture because of a manufacturing defect, for which dealers replace both side curtain air bags. Owners have filed 57 complaints with NHTSA: air bags with 36, unknown or other with 10, and electrical system and engine with 6 each.

Kelley Blue Book (opens in a new tab) lists used 2020 Charger prices from $17,050 for the SXT to $50,500 for the SRT Hellcat at a dealership, with trade-in values of about $11,450 to $42,700 and private-party values of about $15,800 to $47,100. KBB lists fuel economy from 12/21 to 19/30 mpg.

EPA rates the 2020 Charger at 15 to 23 mpg combined and $2,700 to $5,150 a year in fuel, with all-wheel drive available. The 2020 Ford Mustang rates 14 to 25 at $2,500 to $5,550, rear-wheel drive only. On EPA figures the two cover nearly the same range, and the Charger is the four-door that can be ordered with all-wheel drive.
