They are also offered a variety of trim levels and powertrains, and their SRT Hellcat trim levels are close to the top of the lineups.

Performance

- A flat-bottom steering wheel
- Adaptive suspension dampers
Notably, the 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has the same powertrain and all of the same mechanical features.
Appearance
These two vehicles have apparent differences throughout their exteriors. The Challenger is a muscle car with a two-door design, a trio of air vents rising out of the hood, and rounded quad-style headlights. The car also has a tapered design through the side windows, molded wheel fenders, and a trunk spoiler. In comparison, the Charger is a sedan with a four-door body style. Like the Challenger, it has a raised air vent in the hood and a trunk spoiler. However, its fenders are almost flush with the sides, and the side panels have a crisp accent line arching through them. The headlights have a double element and are encompassed on three sides by an LED light bar.
Features
If you choose to drive the Challenger SRT Hellcat, your muscle car will have a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, a UConnect 4C system with an 8.4-inch touch display screen, a premium sound system, paddle shifters, rear parking sensors, and more. The 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has these same features, and it adds heated rear seats, a memory function for the driver’s seat, and a powered adjustment feature for the steering wheel.
