2020 Dodge Charger Widebody finally uncovered

ABU DHABI: 2020 Dodge Charger Widebody has been finally unveiled and will go on sale from early 2020 in the US. The muscle sedan now gains puffed up wheel arches, wider wheels, and other design updates. The Charger is now 89 mm wider than the standard variant. 

Powering the Charger Hellcat is a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 engine, which is capable of churning out a massive 702 hp of power and 881 Nm of peak torque. Dodge claims that Charger can complete the 0-60mph (0-97km/h) standard in 3.6 seconds. The quarter-mile time has been drastically fallen to 10.94 seconds. Talking about the top-speed, it has been reduced to 315kmph (previously 328 kmph). Unlike the Challenger, the sedan versions of Hellcat and Scat will highlight an eight-speed automatic transmission. If you want to take the control over your hands with the six-speed manual transmission, then you have no other option than a coupe. 

The Scat Pack model is equipped with 6.4-litre naturally-aspirated Hemi V8, which puts out a maximum power of 485 hp and a peak torque of 644 Nm. The 0-60 mph comes in at 4.3 seconds. Both the variants flaunt 20-inch alloy wheels paired with 305/35 Pirelli P-Zero tyres.

The standard features comprise of launch assist, launch control, an 8.4-inch touchscreen Uconnect infotainment system, line lock and 391 mm Brembo front disc brakes with six-piston callipers. It also comes with a redesigned front fascia, new side sills, and revamped rear spoilers to enhance the look of the car. 

The stiffer front springs, retuned shocks will improve the ride quality and will provide improved stability at higher speeds. The Hellcat now highlights a Race Cooldown feature, which retains the intercooler pump and radiator fan running even after the car is turned off.
