For the 2020 version of the Challenger there will be 19 package options available across the various trim levels, which can initially get confusing. Thus, a little overview of each may help to clarify things.
Performance Upgrade Packages
The 2020 Challenger Scat Pack is available with the Dynamics Package, which adds Hellcat Brembo brakes and tires. The Performance Handling Group comes to the Challenger GT and R/T adding in high-performance suspension, upgraded braking system, 20-inch ‘Lights Out’ wheels, tires and upgraded rear end with a 3.90 rear axle for manuals and a 3.09 rear axle for automatics.
