2026 Dodge Charger: Everything You Need to Know Before You Buy 

The 2026 Dodge Charger is not just a refresh – it is a full-on reimagining of what a modern muscle car can be. With new Scat Pack and R/T models now available, plus both two-door and four-door configurations, this is one of the most versatile performance vehicles on the market. If you are chasing thrills or just want a head-turning car, the Charger delivers on every front. 

Performance That Sets the Standard 

At the heart of the 2026 Dodge Charger lineup is the 3.0LTwin-Turbo SIXPACK Straight-Six engine. The Charger R/T produces up to 420 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque. The Charger Scat Pack steps things up with 550 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque, hitting 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. 

For those who want maximum output, the Daytona Scat Pack brings electrified performance to the mix with 670 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. It sprints to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, making it the quickest Charger ever offered. 

All-wheel drive comes standard across the lineup. Scat Pack and R/T models also offer the ability to switch to rear-wheel drive with the push of a button, giving drivers more control for spirited driving. 

The Charger Scat Pack is EPA-rated at 16 MPG city / 23 MPG highway / 19 MPG combined, while the R/T is EPA-rated at 17 MPG city / 26 MPG highway / 22 MPG combined. 

Design Details That Demand a Second Look 

The SIXPACK-powered 2026 Dodge Charger models feature an iconic widebody stance and a performance hood with a distinctive SIXPACK bezel. Dual exhaust tips give both the Scat Pack and R/T models an aggressive look from every angle. 

Inside, the Charger offers a driver-centric cockpit with free-standing digital screens, a heated flat-top and flat-bottom steering wheel, and available Attitude Adjustment Lighting in 64 unique colors. The space feels open and stylish without losing that classic muscle car character. 

Trim Options and Customization 

The 2026 Dodge Charger lineup gives buyers plenty of room to personalize. Two-door and four-door variations are now available across all trims, from the R/T to the Scat Pack Plus. Available appearance packages like the Blacktop Package and Track Pack allow drivers to tailor both the look and performance of their vehicle. 

The Blacktop Package adds 20 x 9-in Black Noise wheels, while the Track Pack includes Launch Control, Dual-Valve Adaptive Damping Suspension, larger Brembo® brakes, and additional performance-focused upgrades for enhanced capability on the road or track. 

Technology Built for the Driver 

The 2026 Dodge Charger pairs its raw performance with a thoughtful technology package. A 12.3-in Uconnect® touchscreen and a configurable digital instrument cluster keep information front and center, while drive mode controls are easily accessible. Daytona models also include the PowerShot feature for an instant boost of power on demand. 

Standard and available safety features round out the package, giving drivers added confidence on every journey. Available driver-assistance technologies include Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Active Driving Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, ParkSense Front, Rear and Side Park Assist, and Drowsy Driver Detection.
