Muscle car thrills in a sports sedan body

5 reasons to buy the 2021 Dodge Charger Hellcat
1. Aggressive, eye-catching styling
From the wide haunches to the rear spoiler, the front SRT grille to the sculpted body lines, the 2021 Charger Hellcat is designed to be anything but subtle. That’s backed up by the various appearance packages available, and 13 exterior colors on offer including Go Mango, Tor Red, and Frostbite. Get ready to enjoy being the center of attention wherever you go.
2. Epic supercharged engine
If people don’t see you coming, they’ll certainly hear you. The beating heart of the 2021 Dodge Charger Hellcat is a 6.2L supercharged V8 engine producing, somehow, even more horsepower than in previous years. Power output is up to 717 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, and when you nail your launch, you’ll go from zero to 60 mph in a stunning 3.6 seconds.
3. Generous and well-apportioned cabin
The 2021 Charger Hellcat being a sedan at heart means it’s ideally suited for both supreme performance and a comfortable ride/driving experience. There are five seats in the cabin, with 41.8 inches of front seat legroom and 40.1 inches of rear seat legroom. While you and your friends and family make themselves comfortable, they’ll also love the creature comforts included, like Laguna® leather upholstery, heated seats front and rear, and dual-zone automatic climate control.
4. Roomy and useful trunk space
To match the spacious cabin, the 2021 Charger Hellcat also provides an equally generous cargo space behind the rear seats. Open up the trunk, and you get 16.5 cu-ft of cargo volume, suitable for everything from weekly groceries to road trip luggage. Additionally, the rear seats are 60/40 split-folding to open up more cargo space if you need to transport large items.
5. Wealth of tech features included
Where the Hellcat model is positioned as the very pinnacle of the 2021 Dodge Charger lineup, this also means it gets the vast majority of available tech and convenience features as standard. These include the Uconnect® infotainment system, with an 8.4-inch touchscreen display and Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, as well as dual remote charging USB ports, and available 4G LTE with Wi-Fi hotspot.
