In the world of Dodge Chargers, the SE is the standard edition, while the SXT stands for StandaRDXtra and the RT for Road Track. The SRT, on the other hand, is known as Street and Racing Technology, and these are all trim package upgrades that can include performance enhancements like leather seating, privacy glass, and more. The base SXT model costs more than the base SE, particularly with all-wheel drive options. Despite not offering many extra features for the price difference, the SXT might still be the preferred choice for most drivers over the SE.
No, SE stood for Special Edition.
SE denotes special edition, and I have a 1971 Dodge Charger with the pistol grip 4-speed, which is the SE model.
I have a 1971 Charger with a special edition SE, complete with a pistol grip and 4-speed transmission.
These days the Charger is typically offered in the Standard Edition model, but in the past, the original Charger was known as the Special Edition. While both cars share the same name, they are vastly different from each other, so it's unlikely that they would have the same features.
As a proud owner of one of the first 1973 Dodge cars in Salt Lake City, Utah, I received official documentation stating that the letters "SE" meant "Special Edition." This model came with a unique tonneau roof that covered two-thirds of the roof area, along with louvered inserts on the rear side glass. Additionally, the seats were made of 60 percent vinyl and 40 percent cloth material.
Are the SE and SXT versions similar? I believed that the SE model was the basic option.
In American lingo, the "se" badge on a Dodge Charger indicates that it is a base model car.
