Speed® Technology is a new technology that has been introduced on a handful of Dodge cars this year. This technology allows drivers to go faster than the standard auto speed limit. Drivers can set their car to use Speed Technology, or not!
Using Speed Technology is at your discretion. There are multiple ways to use it. You can go from a legal highway speed to a legal highway speed with no warning. You can also go from a safe residential street speed to the auto-legal speeds for that street or neighborhood.
This article will talk about what SXT stands for on dodge cars, and how to turn SXT on and off in your car. SXT is a great way to raise your car’s performance level, or take it up a notch if you are already using it!
Dodge cars with SXT include the Charger, Challenger Demon, Durango, and Grand Caravan.

SXT stands for “Sport” and “Technology”
When a car has SXT, it means that it has some or all of the following features: LCD (liquid crystal display) display, Sport suspension, Technology features like navigation system and entertainment systems, and/or tires with more pressure.
If you have a car with more pressure on the tires, it means that you get to choose which ones are inflated and which ones are not. In case of Dodge cars, this feature is called SRT.
If you want your car to have SRT, then you must pay for it. For your safety, there is no difference between having SRT and being equipped with an RTAV4! Both give you the ability to go beyond the normal cars in your area and at events.
What Does SXT Stand for on Dodge Cars?
SXT is a new trim level for the Dodge cars out now. This is the fourth generation of the cars, though they have had minor changes in every year since then.
The first two generations were called S, and the generation after that was called T. These were the first two generations of dodge cars, so they still use those names today.
For this generation, T is being used instead of S because there are only two styles available, coupe and sedan. Both have a hatchback look to them, with a modified grille and low hanging lights.
Coupe gets better gas mileage than sedan does, so it would seem that coupe would be better on gas. However, sedan has more power than coupe does, so it would seem that this style would need more fuel economy.
SXT is a trim level
The sxt trim level is intended to give Dodge owners a way to show off their vehicle by choosing a lower trim level. They can do this by purchasing a SXT package on their vehicle.
The package includes features like automatic headlights, rain sensing windshield wipers, tilt and turn steering, power mirrors with outside controls, heated seats and Rear Spoiler.
Of these features, automatic headlights is the most noticeable as they are an available feature on all models. These headlights will switch on when the vehicle is driven in an rainy environment and turn off when it starts to dry out.
Automatic headlight switching was made possible by the chip found in these vehicles that monitors light levels around it.
SXT stands for “Sport” and “Technology”
When a car has SXT, it means that it has an enhanced technology package that adds some extra features to cars. Some of these features are hidden, but they are very helpful!
Some of these features include: active safety systems such as blind spot alerts and cross-traffic alerts; electronic steering; leather or suede-trimmed seats; and/or heated and cooled cupholders.
When a car has SXT, the enhanced technology packages can increase the price by $5,000-$10,000! However, if you wanted them, then you would have to buy them separately because Dodge did not make them in one package.
Examples include the 2018 Dodge Challenger SXT Plus
The 2018 Dodge Challenger SXT Plus is a powerful and stylish sedan. It has a 2 liter inline-4 with 252 hp, 254 lb-ft of torque, and offers a 6 speed manual or 7 speed automatic.
Its interior is durable with double leather up front and modern styling in back. The seats are comfortable and the navigation system is easy to use. The audio and navigation systems work well together making it a easy driver experience.
Confused about what the SXT stands for? Ask us!
If you’re curious about what the SXT designation on a dodge car means, don’t worry too much. We have an article for that!
SXT is a designation used on certain dodge cars to describe a more advanced trim level. This designation is used to break up the models, giving drivers more options when looking at vehicles.
The most common example of this is on trucks, where there are two different trim levels: Crew and Standard. On trucks, the standard configuration is the one that gets the most miles per unit and usage, so it makes sense to offer something in addition to the standard model.
On cars, there are usually three or four levels of trim. The ones with highest controls are usually displayed as SL and SL + CH + RBW + LWN + UH + ALT + SWT + SW2 + PWR.
