"The Challenger has a classic muscle-car interior, with a simple design inspired by its 1970s-era predecessors and comfortable accommodations. " - Car and Driver
Dodge has made a focused interior with the driver getting all the attention. The quality of materials used is impressive and even has an array of modifications that can be done on the upholstery and trims. For the model year 2020, the Dodge Challenger's interior is further spruced up with added color options, and more premium-looking material options on Challengers with leather upholstery.Â
The first row is where Dodge has given it all. It is comfortable and grabs you well. But that's not the case with the rear seats as it's best suitable for small children. It shares the body with that of Chargers. But the slanting roofline shaves off the second-row practicality.
The thick body lines hinder visibility with plenty of blind spots. This is when the rearview camera comes to the rescue. The growling V6 doesn’t creep into the cabin as sound-dampening is moderately done. It is surprisingly comfortable to be used as a daily driver.

All the American muscles have two rows but the second one is good for young adolescents at best. We wonder why they took the pain of adding the second row? Nissan was sensible to not add a second row thus saving on the overall weight and practicality.
Speaking of practicality, the 2020 Dodge Challenger offers 16.2 Cubic feet of cargo space which is more like a mid-size sedan category rather than a coupe. This helps it stay above the competition which is miles away in terms of capacity. It has a low loading height which makes it ergonomically feasible.
Dodge has equipped the Challenger with a UConnect Infotainment System which is user-friendly and comes loaded with convenience features. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come as standard which makes smartphone integration easy and driving distraction-free. A bigger 8.4-inch touch screen with navigation is available in an optional package.
Unlike the past, Dodge is bundling a plethora of features as standard on the 2020 Challenger. Most occupants of the Challenger, will not complain about the lack of features, once inside the same. Here is a list of few of the features onboard
- Driver and Passenger Assist Handles
- Front and Rear Climate Control Outlets
- Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Controls
- Driver Information Display
- Six-way power driver’s side
- 60/40 split-folding rear benchÂ
