What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Dodge Challenger?

At 61.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has performance upgrades or higher mileage. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and signs of hard use, since this model’s appeal often attracts enthusiastic driving.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from SXT to GT, R/T, R/T Scat Pack, R/T Scat Pack Widebody, SRT Hellcat, SRT Hellcat Widebody, SRT Hellcat Redeye, and SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody. The SXT starts with 18-inch wheels, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, and a 7-inch touchscreen, while the GT adds 20-inch wheels, a hood scoop, remote start, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The R/T Scat Pack brings the larger 8.4-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel, making it the best-value step-up for many shoppers.
• Powertrain: The SXT and GT use a 3.6-liter V6 with 305 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque, with rear-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. The R/T adds a 5.7-liter Hemi V8, the R/T Scat Pack upgrades to a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 with 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque, and Hellcat models move to supercharged 6.2-liter V8 power.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes front- and side-impact airbags, supplemental side curtain airbags, traction control, brake assist, and a child-seat anchoring system. The optional technology group adds forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control, while blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path alert, and ParkSense reverse sensing are also available.
• Infotainment: The standard setup is a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The available Uconnect 8.4 adds a larger screen and Garmin-based navigation with real-time traffic updates.
• Fuel efficiency: The base V6 with rear-wheel drive returns 19 mpg city, 30 highway, 23 combined. The V6 with AWD returns 18 mpg city, 27 highway, 21 combined. The 5.7-liter V8 with the 8-speed automatic returns 16 mpg city, 25 highway, 19 combined. The least-efficient variant returns 13 mpg city, 21 highway, 15 combined.

Which 2020 Dodge Challenger trim should I buy?

The 2020 Dodge Challenger is offered in 9 trim levels: SXT, GT, R/T, R/T Scat Pack, R/T Scat Pack Widebody, SRT Hellcat, SRT Hellcat Widebody, SRT Hellcat Redeye, and SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody.

Here's the short version:

• SXT: This is the entry point if you want the Challenger’s style, roomy cabin, and easy-to-use tech at the lowest price. It gives you the core experience without pushing you into V8 costs.
• GT: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds a more aggressive look, remote start, and the option of all-wheel drive. If you want a daily-driver-friendly Challenger, this is the trim to focus on.
• R/T: Choose this if you want V8 power and an active exhaust without jumping all the way to the higher-performance trims. It’s the first step into the Challenger’s muscle-car personality.
• R/T Scat Pack: This is the sweet spot for performance-for-the-dollar. You get the 6.4-liter Hemi V8, Brembo brakes, launch control, and a richer feature set, including the larger touchscreen and heated front seats.
• R/T Scat Pack Widebody: Pick this if you want the Scat Pack’s performance with a wider stance, wider tires, and a more planted feel in corners.
• SRT Hellcat: This is for you if outright power matters more than value. It brings supercharged V8 performance and the full high-output Challenger experience.
• SRT Hellcat Widebody: Choose this if you want Hellcat power with the added grip and visual presence of the widebody setup.
• SRT Hellcat Redeye: This is the extreme straight-line option, with even more power than the standard Hellcat and an automatic transmission only.
• SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody: This is the top-end choice if you want maximum power plus the widebody chassis setup.

The safety package is optional rather than standard, so make sure the specific car you’re considering has the driver-assistance features you want.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Dodge Challenger?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 29.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,101 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.24% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $27,620, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2020 Dodge Challenger's resale value?

The current average of $28,942 sits slightly below last year's $30,869.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more confidently now but may also limit near-term upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at a strong price and keep the car in clean condition, you can reduce the impact of that softer market.

The Challenger’s broad appeal and strong enthusiast following help support demand, especially for well-equipped or higher-performance trims. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.85/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2020 Dodge Challenger safe?

The 2020 Dodge Challenger earns a four-star rating in front driver’s side crash testing, a five-star rating for front passenger side testing, and a four-star rating for rollover testing from NHTSA. It also earns a “Good” result in many IIHS crash-test phases, but its overall IIHS score is “Marginal.”

It earns a 5/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes front- and side-impact airbags, supplemental side curtain airbags, traction control, brake assist, and a child-seat anchoring system. The optional technology group adds forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path alert, and ParkSense reverse sensing are also available.

The main caution is that advanced safety features are not standard, so you should verify the exact equipment on any used example you’re considering.

Should I buy a 2020 Dodge Challenger or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2020 if:

• 29.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.24% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.85/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds new colors, extra interior choices, and a 50th Anniversary package for some trims.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $31,691, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $28,942 average.
• It leans harder into straight-line speed and style.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2020 is the smarter buy because prices are softer and inventory is healthy. If you’re willing to pay more for a newer model year and want the next-step alternative, the 2021 is worth a look, but price-sensitive buyers should start with the 2020.
