2020 Dodge Charger GT Gets All-Wheel Drive, Is Priced From $34,995

The Dodge Charger soldiers on into the 2020MY with a few revisions, including the addition of an AWD version of the Charger GT.

Set to launch next month from $34,995, excluding the $1,495 destination charge and dealer fees, and to arrive at dealerships in the first quarter of 2020, it joins the Charger SXT AWD with all-weather capability.

The Charger GT packs an all-wheel drive system and is powered by a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 that puts out 300 HP at 6,350 rpm and 264 lb-ft (358 Nm) of torque at 4,800 rpm, with more than 90 percent available between 1,800 and 6,400 rpm. The engine is hooked up to the eight-speed automatic transmission, with paddle shifters, and it returns an EPA-estimated 18/27 mpg (13.1-8.7 l/100 km) in city/highway.

“Most people think of Chargers and Challengers as high-performance muscle cars, which clearly they are, but they can also be four-season capable AWD performance cars, said chief Tim Kuniskis. “Only Dodge offers vehicles that combine practicality and all-wheel driving confidence without sacrificing muscle car attitude.”

The 2020 Charger GT can deliver up to 100 percent of the torque to the rear wheels, with no driver intervention. Those who want to enjoy the AWD system at all times need to put it in Sport mode, which also enhances the gear changes and keeps the revs higher. Furthermore, the car features a three-mode ESC with ‘full-off’ setting, as well as Vehicle Dynamic Control.

The driver of the Charger GT can view the gear selection in the center instrument cluster display and can check out the reaction times, G-force indicator, 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) times and lap times in the customizable cluster display.

Moreover, the Charger GT comes with a special suspension setup, all-season tires that wrap around 19-inch aluminum wheels with Satin Carbon or, optionally, Black Noise look, a reversing camera, projector LED fog lamps, performance hood, sculpted side sills and a rear spoiler.
