On this blog, we’ve written extensively about the Dodge Charger and various aspects of the car. Today we’re going to talk about what Dodge Charger has AWD, RWD, and FWD. We’ve made a list of all Chargers and trim levels produced after 2005. Let’s start with a quick answer:
Most Dodge Chargers are rear-wheel-drive cars. The R/T versions produced before 2015 have an all-wheel-drive option. All SE versions have an all-wheel-drive option. Most SXT and Rallye versions also have an all-wheel-drive option. SRT8, Scat Pack, and Hellcat versions only have read-wheel-drive.
However, that doesn’t tell the whole story. Below we’ve made an extensive table telling you exactly what Dodge Chargers have what drive system. Furthermore, we also discuss the capabilities of the Charger when it comes to driving in the winter. Read on!

Is The Dodge Charger Good In The Snow?
If you’re looking at the drive system of the car that’s probably going to be information you’re going to be interested in.
To give you the short answer: yes, the Dodge Charger is a good car in the snow. Owners of the car are generally positive about its ability to handle icy conditions. Furthermore, the car has different safety features that help it stay on the road with both a rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive system (although the all-wheel-drive is preferable).
However, let it be clear that the Charger does not have the highest ground clearance. This does make the car unsuitable for winter driving when there’s heavy snowfall. In this case, an SUV or truck is preferable.
