The New 2026 Dodge Charger

This is the world's most powerful muscle car in its price range. The big news is that Dodge is bringing out the SIXPACK engine for 2026. This twin-turbo inline-six powerhouse pays homage to the legendary six-barrel carburetors of the 1970s. The Scat Pack trim delivers 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. You rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. The quarter-mile disappears in 12.2 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph.

The R/T model runs on the standard-output version of the SIXPACK. It produces 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque with a top speed of 168 mph. That makes it the most standard horsepower of any muscle car on the market. Both engines deliver immediate throttle response thanks to twin Garrett turbochargers.

If you’re one of those who want the fastest of muscle cars, you’ll have to go electric. The Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack comes ready to play with a maximum of 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. You can even use the PowerShot feature to get an additional 40 horsepower for 10 seconds. It can go from 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds.

Step inside and you will find an award-winning cabin that matches the performance outside. The interior design draws inspiration from the iconic 1968 Dodge Charger. A freestanding 10.25-inch cluster screen sits in front of the driver. The 12.3-inch center display angles toward the driver for easy access. An optional 16-inch digital cluster takes the experience even further.

The performance-oriented steering wheel features a heated flat-top and flat-bottom design with paddle shifters on Scat Pack models. Premium seating options include heated Black Nappa leather and Demonic Red Nappa leather. The pistol-grip shifter and start button sit close together on the center console for quick access.

The Charger delivers best-in-class passenger volume with its hidden hatch design. Fold the rear seats flat, and you get 37.4 cubic feet of cargo space.

The new Charger exterior screams muscle. It features the widest body of any car in the industry. The SIXPACK performance hood comes with a black logoed grille-style bezel. A gloss black rear spoiler on the Scat Pack is not only stylish, but it also helps with aerodynamics. Clear LED lighting stretches across the front, and red ring of fire LED taillamps glow at the rear. Eight exterior colors are available, including the new Green Machine.

The available Blacktop Package takes the aggressive styling even further. Dark badging replaces the standard chrome accents. Eclipse exhaust tips add a sinister touch. The 20-by-10-inch Blacknoise aluminum wheels complete the murdered-out look.

Modern muscle demands modern technology. The Charger brings a Uconnect 5 infotainment system that powers the 12.3-inch central touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard. An optional augmented head-up display projects key information with an improved virtual image distance.

Attitude Adjustment interior lighting wraps 270 degrees around the cabin. Choose from 64 colors with adjustable intensity. The lighting reacts to vehicle events like drive mode changes and door openings. Performance Pages track key metrics like acceleration timers, g-force readings, and more. The optional 914-watt Alpine PRO audio system with 18 speakers fills the cabin with premium sound.

All that speed needs advanced safety features to keep you and your passengers protected. The Charger delivers the highest level of autonomous driving features of any muscle car. Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking with vulnerable road user detection come standard.

You’ll also find Active Lane Management and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, which makes highway driving easier. Optional features include a surround 360-degree camera for a bird's-eye view around the vehicle.

The R/T is not yet available, but it will bring SIXPACK power at a more accessible price point. You still get 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque from the standard-output engine. That makes it the most standard horsepower of any muscle car available.

Standard all-wheel drive with rear-wheel drive capability gives you the best of both worlds. The same robust eight-speed automatic transmission handles power delivery. Both two-door and four-door configurations are available. The R/T proves you do not have to sacrifice performance to fit your budget.

This is where serious performance begins. The Scat Pack delivers 550 horsepower from the SIXPACK high-output engine. Standard features include 20-by-10-inch Diamond Cut Luster wheels with Goodyear all-season tires. Brembo six-piston front brakes and rear floating calipers provide confident stopping power.

Line Lock comes standard for burnouts at the track. The dual-mode active exhaust with electronically controlled valves announces your presence. Every Scat Pack purchase includes a day of performance driving instruction at Radford Racing School.

The Plus trim loads up on additional content for those who want everything. Eight-way power seating and illuminated door handles welcome you aboard. The 64-color Attitude Adjustment interior lighting transforms the cabin. A 16-inch digital cluster and surround 360-degree camera keep you informed.

Proximity wake-up with the DODGE welcome light greets you as you approach. Wireless charging and a head-up display come standard. An optional panoramic glass roof adds to the open-air feel.

Looking for pure electric power instead? The Charger Daytona delivers 670 horsepower with zero emissions. Run the quarter mile in 11.5 seconds, enjoy unique EV-specific badging, and an available staggered tire setup with rear Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season Tires.

This model also comes with brake-by-wire technology, an EV tech feature that works with the adjustable regenerative braking. You’ll get better braking action and more charge out of your battery.

Note that the Daytona is also available as a Plus version, which comes with the same features as the gas-powered Scat Pack. This electric model is also available in two-door and four-door configurations.
