Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Wagon Render Is a Heart-melter
Dodge Charger wagon is a popular request from Mopar fans who miss the modern Magnum.
When the Dodge Charger was introduced in the mid-2000s, it was sold in showrooms alongside the Magnum. This allowed Dodge to offer a sedan and sport wagon with similar mechanical bits and different target audiences. The Magnum was, without question, one of the greatest American sport wagons ever, but with the boom in popularity of crossovers and sport utility vehicles, the model was discontinued after 2008.
Since the Magnum was removed from the lineup, owners of that model have been pleading for a new Dodge wagon. The obvious choice for a modern sport wagon is the Charger. Some enthusiasts have gone so far as to create their own custom wagons with parts from the Charger and Magnum, but what if Dodge built a Charger wagon?
We had our artist pen a modern Dodge Charger wagon, but not just any model. As you can see here, this is the Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Wagon.
Hellcat Widebody Wagon
Ideally, a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody wagon would retain as much of the current design as possible. Realistically, the area forward of the B-pillar would have to change at all. Behind the B-pillar, the roof would be extended out to the back end, stopping just short to create a bit of a rake to the rear-most glass. The lower portion of the rear doors would remain unchanged but the longer roofline would lead to a flatter top to the rear door windows. This would create more entry room for the rear doors, and the tiny quarter windows of the sedan would be replaced with larger windows flanking the cargo area.
The body lines of the current Charger sedan taper upwards as they reach the rear end, with the roofline tapering downwards, which becomes more drastic with the rear glass. To create a taller cargo area, the roofline would extend out a few more feet, running almost parallel to the body lines until it ends with the rear hatch.
The rear hatch would include the face of the rear end, which is part of the current trunk design of the sedan, so when open, there would be easy access to the cargo area. Below the hatch, the rear end would remain relatively unchanged.
High-performance Hauler
On the inside, the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody wagon would have the same front and rear seating area layout as the sedan. The rear seats would fold down to create more cargo space, but they would also recline a bit. Behind the rear seats, the cargo area would be more or less identical to the old Magnum, with loads more space for large boxes, golf bags and other large items than you can get with the sedan.
While there has been no indication from FCA that Dodge is working on any sort of large wagon, this Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody wagon is the sport hauler that we would all love to use to get the groceries.
