In 1970 the Charger changed somewhat again. This would be the last and most excellent year of the 2nd generation Charger and it now featured a large wraparound chrome bumper and the grille was no longer separated in the middle. The taillights were the same as in 69, but the flat-black area on the taillight panel was made smaller and was surrounded by a chrome strip.

On the R/T new rear-facing scoops with the R/T logo were mounted on the front doors, over the door scallops. A new 440 or HEMI hood cutout made the option list for this year only. In order to attain the desired look, Dodge painted the hood scallop inserts black and put the white engine callouts on top. New "High Impact" colors were given names, such as Top Banana, Panther Pink, and Plum Crazy. The 70 Charger was the pinnacle of 2nd generation Chargers combining top performance with a large array of desirable options. The 500 returned for another year, but now it was just a normal production Charger and was not the high performance Charger of 1969. Interior changes incorporated new high-back bucket seats, replacing the older low-back style with the adjustable headrests.

The door panels were also revised and the map pockets were now optional instead of standard. The ignition was now moved from the dash to the steering column (as with all Chrysler products this year), and the glove box was now hinged at the bottom instead of the top as in 1968-69. A new engine option made the Charger's list for the first time -- the 440 Six Pack. With three two-barrel carburetors and a rating of 390 hp (291 kW), it was one of the most exotic setups since the cross-ram Max Wedge engines of the early 1960s. The Six Pack was previously used on the mid-year 1969 Dodge Super Bee and Plymouth Road Runner. In spite of this hot new engine, production slipped again to 46,576 but most of this was due to the new E-body Dodge Challenger.

The film The Fast And The Furious featured a 1970 Dodge Charger, customized with a supercharger and a 1969 rear end.
