The driver is also provided with a push-to-start button, a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel, a power tilt and telescopic steering column, as well as plenty of soft-touch surfaces.
Also included in this model is a power adjustable driver’s seat, auto-dimming rearview mirrors, and a power trunk lid release, among others.

The Charger gets two engine options for the local market. The Charger R/T Scat Pack Widebody variant gets a naturally aspirated 6.4-liter V8 that can churn out 485 horsepower and 644 Nm of torque.
The said engine is then linked to an eight-speed automatic gearbox that comes with a paddle shifter manual mode.
