2026 Dodge Charger

Dodge offers the 2026 Charger in distinct performance-focused configurations so buyers can choose the balance of power and features they want. The core gas-powered models include the Charger R/T and the high-output Charger Scat Pack, while Dodge’s electric Daytona variants sit alongside them as part of the broader Charger family. Two-door and four-door body options are available, and higher trims layer on upgraded brakes, suspension hardware, and unique styling elements to set them apart.

The 2026 Charger reintroduces high-performance internal-combustion options built around Dodge’s new “SIXPACK” 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six architecture. The Scat Pack’s high-output Sixpack produces roughly 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, while the R/T Sixpack is offered in a lower output tuned for strong midrange power (around 420 hp on R/T). Dodge also continues its electrified Daytona lineup — the electric Daytona Scat Pack and related Daytona models deliver much higher peak outputs in their EV configurations.

Performance hardware is a headline feature: the gas Scat Pack combines the twin-turbo Sixpack engine with an eight-speed automatic, mechanical limited-slip differentials, launch control, and heavy-duty Brembo braking to deliver blistering straight-line speed and repeatable track performance. All-wheel drive comes standard on the new gas Chargers with selectable rear-wheel-drive mode for a more traditional muscle-car feel when desired. For buyers interested in EV performance, the Daytona EV models push output even higher and add instant electric torque with strong 0–60 mph performance.

Inside, the 2026 Charger blends driver-centric performance cues with modern comfort and connectivity. The cabin features Dodge’s contemporary infotainment architecture (large central touchscreen and configurable digital gauges), performance displays and lap-timing tools, and available premium finishes such as carbon-fiber trim and upgraded audio systems. Practical touches like a liftback/hatch design significantly increase cargo flexibility compared with prior generations, giving the Charger real utility in addition to performance appeal.

The 2026 Charger comes equipped with a modern suite of safety and driver-assist systems, including standard cameras and sensors that enable features such as automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control. Dodge’s connected Uconnect® system and available advanced safety packages further enhance situational awareness and convenience for daily driving and high-speed environments alike.
