The 2010 Dodge Charger SXT uses a four-speed automatic transmission. This pairing is standard with the model’s 3.5-liter V6 engine and places it below the higher-performance R/T and SRT trims in the Charger lineup.
In 2010, the SXT was powered by a 3.5-liter V6 producing around 250 horsepower and was paired with a four-speed automatic. The more powerful R/T and SRT8 trims used a five-speed automatic with larger Hemi engines, reflecting the Charger’s performance-oriented range.
Drivetrain context
The SXT is part of the LX platform and is designed for everyday practicality with solid acceleration for a V6 model. The four-speed automatic delivers smooth shifts suitable for daily driving, while the V8-equipped trims offer quicker response with a five-speed transmission.
Trim-by-trim note
For buyers comparing model years, this transmission difference helps distinguish the SXT (4-speed automatic) from higher-performance variants such as the R/T (5-speed automatic with the Hemi).
Summary
The 2010 Charger SXT uses a four-speed automatic transmission paired with its 3.5L V6 engine; higher trims feature a five-speed automatic. This arrangement defined the car’s drivetrain and performance characteristics for that model year.
