For better traction, the Charger has larger standard tires than the S6 e-tron (245/55R18 vs. 235/45R20). The Charger’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the S6 e-tron (F:305/35R20 & R:325/35R20 vs. F:245/40R21 & R:275/35R21).

The Charger’s optional tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the S6 e-tron’s optional 40 series front tires.

The Charger has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The S6 e-tron doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.

The Charger is equipped with both FM and AM stereo radios, offering access to more content and better coverage than the S6 e-tron, which solely provides FM radio. With AM radio, you can enjoy a wider variety of stations featuring news, talk shows, sports commentary, native language programing, automated traffic guidance, and emergency broadcasts. AM waves travel further and penetrate buildings and obstacles more effectively than FM signals, especially at night. Having both FM and AM stereo radios the Charger offers a more comprehensive listening experience compared to only FM in the S6 e-tron.

HD Radio boasts several benefits over conventional radio: superior sound quality with clearer and consistent FM broadcasts, CD-quality audio, and Multicast Channels offering up to four streams from a single station, adding programming choices. Cars like the Charger optionally equipped with HD Radio provide an improved in-car entertainment experience. The S6 e-tron, devoid of this technology, foregoes these benefits. Selecting the Dodge Charger empowers drivers to enjoy a more immersive and enjoyable listening experience while on the go.

The Dodge Charger comes in coupe and four door hatchback bodystyles; the Audi S6 e-tron isn’t available as a coupe.

A group of representative automotive journalists from North America selected the Charger as the 2026 North American Car of the Year. The S6 e-tron has never been chosen.
