2026 Dodge Charger Trims – First Look

2026 Dodge Charger Trim Options Overview

The 2026 Dodge Charger lineup combines gas-powered SIXPACK performance and all-electric Daytona performance within the same next-generation Charger family. Dodge offers Charger R/T, Charger Scat Pack, and Charger Daytona Scat Pack models, along with Plus versions that add premium technology, comfort, lighting, and available package content. Shoppers beginning with our 2026 Dodge Charger research hub can get a broader look at the model before comparing the individual trim choices. The lineup is also available in both two-door and four-door body styles.

Every 2026 Dodge Charger comes standard with all-wheel drive. The gas-powered R/T and Scat Pack models use Dodge’s 3.0L Twin-Turbo SIXPACK Straight-Six engine in standard-output or high-output form, while the Daytona Scat Pack uses a dual-motor electric propulsion system. That gives Charger shoppers several different ways to approach the same widebody muscle car platform.

• Charger R/T: 420 horsepower from the 3.0L SIXPACK SO Twin-Turbo Straight-Six
• Charger Scat Pack: 550 horsepower from the 3.0L SIXPACK HO Twin-Turbo Straight-Six
• Charger Daytona Scat Pack: 670 horsepower from an all-electric dual-motor propulsion system
• Body style choice: two-door and four-door configurations are available across the 2026 Charger lineup

Charger R/T: 420 Horsepower and SIXPACK Performance

The 2026 Dodge Charger R/T is the starting point for gas-powered Charger performance. Its 3.0L SIXPACK SO Twin-Turbo Straight-Six produces up to 420 horsepower and 468 pound-feet of torque. Dodge lists a 4.6-second 0-60 mph time and a 12.9-second quarter-mile time, giving the R/T substantially more performance than its position at the beginning of the gas-powered lineup might suggest.

The standard-output SIXPACK engine uses twin turbochargers and develops 22 psi of peak boost. Dodge also tunes the engine to deliver full torque at 2,500 rpm, helping provide strong response at lower engine speeds. Standard all-wheel drive gives the Charger R/T additional traction, while selectable rear-wheel drive lets the driver send power to the rear wheels when desired.

Inside, the R/T establishes the digital foundation used throughout the next-generation Charger. A 12.3-inch center touchscreen is paired with a wide-format 10.25-inch digital cluster, while an available 16-inch cluster provides a larger driver display. Selectable drive modes allow the vehicle’s behavior to be adjusted for different conditions and driving preferences.

Drivers who want to take the R/T further can add the available Performance Handling Group. Dodge includes features such as Line Lock, Launch Control, a Custom drive mode, larger Brembo brakes, performance suspension, and 20-inch wheels. The R/T also shares the widebody proportions, signature lighting, and performance-oriented details covered in our 2026 Dodge Charger exterior guide, helping give the gas-powered model its distinctive road presence.

Charger R/T Plus: More Technology and Premium Features

Charger R/T Plus keeps the same 420-horsepower SIXPACK SO powertrain while building on the R/T with additional premium equipment. That means drivers still get 468 pound-feet of torque, standard all-wheel drive, selectable rear-wheel drive capability, and the same gas-powered Charger performance foundation.

The Plus model adds several features that make the cabin and driver interface more advanced. Dodge highlights eight-way power seating, proximity wake-up with Dodge welcome lighting, 64-color Attitude Adjustment interior lighting, premium LED headlamps, a 16-inch digital driver cluster, and a Head-Up Display. Many of these cabin elements are explored further on our 2026 Dodge Charger interior page, where the seating, cockpit, storage, and interior design are covered in greater detail.

R/T Plus also opens access to several additional options. An available fixed panoramic glass roof with UV protection can bring more natural light into the cabin, while the available Premium Audio Package uses an Alpine system with 18 high-performance speakers, a subwoofer, and a 900-watt amplifier. Dodge also offers options such as Demonic Red seating, dual Fratzog stripes, and a Satin Black hood graphic.

Charger Scat Pack: 550 Horsepower from the SIXPACK HO

The 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack moves to the high-output version of the 3.0L SIXPACK Twin-Turbo Straight-Six. Dodge rates the SIXPACK HO at up to 550 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque. Its twin turbochargers generate up to 30 psi of peak boost, helping the Scat Pack accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and complete the quarter-mile in 12.2 seconds.

Like the R/T, the Scat Pack comes standard with all-wheel drive and gives the driver the ability to switch into rear-wheel drive. Dodge combines that powertrain with a rigid chassis and performance-focused suspension tuning to support acceleration and cornering performance.

The Scat Pack also receives more standard performance hardware. Line Lock and Launch Control are included, along with an active dual-mode exhaust, performance suspension, Brembo six-piston fixed front brake calipers, and multiple selectable drive modes. Standard 20×10-inch wheels with 275/40ZR20 all-season tires help complete the gas-powered Scat Pack setup.

Exterior details also help separate the SIXPACK models from the electric Daytona. Dodge gives the R/T and Scat Pack a performance hood with SIXPACK branding, a larger grille area for airflow, and dual exhaust outlets. Those features work with the Charger’s widebody proportions and lighting design to give the gas-powered cars their own character.

Charger Scat Pack Plus: Performance with Added Technology

Charger Scat Pack Plus retains the 550-horsepower SIXPACK HO engine and 531 pound-feet of torque while adding a broader collection of premium and technology features. The fundamental performance does not change, so the Plus model keeps the 3.9-second 0-60 mph time, 12.2-second quarter-mile capability, standard all-wheel drive, and selectable rear-wheel drive setup of the Scat Pack.

Dodge adds a Surround View Camera system, Head-Up Display, wireless charging, ventilated front seats, premium LED headlamps, navigation, a 16-inch color driver display, and Attitude Adjustment interior lighting to Scat Pack Plus. Features such as the digital displays, Uconnect system, Performance Pages, and Head-Up Display are covered in more detail in our 2026 Dodge Charger technology guide, while the Plus configuration surrounds that technology with the same high-output SIXPACK performance.

The available Carbon & Suede Package can push the Scat Pack Plus interior further. Dodge includes heated and ventilated high-back leather and suede performance seats with four-way power lumbar adjustment, a suede instrument panel, suede headliner and A-pillars, and carbon fiber trim on the center console, door panels, and instrument panel. Available carbon fiber heated exterior mirrors can extend the package treatment outside the cabin.

Charger Daytona Scat Pack: 670 Horsepower with Electric Performance

The 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack takes a different approach to Charger performance. Instead of a SIXPACK gasoline engine, the Daytona uses a 400-volt electric propulsion system with dual electric drive motors. Dodge rates the system at 670 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque.

That electric powertrain produces the quickest acceleration figures in the 2026 Charger family. Dodge lists a 3.3-second 0-60 mph time and an 11.5-second quarter-mile time. The high-voltage lithium-ion battery can initially deliver 550 kilowatts before sustaining more than 500 kilowatts of discharge to the electric drive motors.

Daytona Scat Pack also introduces several performance features that are unique to the electric Charger. PowerShot can provide an additional 40 horsepower for 10 seconds, while Race Prep helps prepare the battery for performance driving. Drift/Donut Mode and Launch Control provide additional performance settings, and the mechanical limited-slip rear differential helps manage power delivery.

The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust gives the electric Charger an audible performance character, while the R-Wing Front Aero Passthrough allows air to move through the front fascia. Dodge states that the R-Wing design can reduce front lift by up to 30 percent and drag by up to 3 percent.

The Daytona cabin includes a 12.3-inch center display and a 16-inch digital cluster with Performance Pages that can display electric-vehicle performance information. Dodge also equips Daytona Scat Pack with a nine-speaker Alpine audio system, dual-zone climate control, and a collection of driver assistance and safety technology.

Charger Daytona Scat Pack Plus: Premium Electric Muscle

Daytona Scat Pack Plus builds on the same 670-horsepower electric performance platform while expanding access to premium equipment and appearance options. It retains the 627 pound-feet of torque, standard all-wheel drive, 3.3-second 0-60 mph capability, 11.5-second quarter-mile performance, PowerShot, Race Prep, and Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust technology of the Daytona Scat Pack.

As a Plus model, Daytona Scat Pack Plus can be equipped with the fixed panoramic glass roof and Premium Audio Package. The Premium Audio Package replaces the standard audio configuration with an Alpine 18-speaker system, subwoofer, and 900-watt amplifier. Shoppers comparing these upgrades with the rest of the lineup can use our 2026 Dodge Charger trims research page to view the different powertrains and equipment levels side by side.

The Carbon & Suede Package is also available on Daytona Scat Pack Plus. This package brings leather and suede performance seating, suede cabin surfaces, carbon fiber interior accents, and available carbon fiber exterior mirror housings to the electric model. It gives shoppers another way to distinguish the cabin without changing the Daytona’s core electric propulsion system.

2026 Dodge Charger Packages and Appearance Options

Dodge offers several packages that allow the 2026 Charger to be configured beyond the basic trim choice. The Blacktop Package is available across the lineup and adds a darker exterior presentation. Wheel size varies by model, with 20×9-inch Blacknoise wheels for Charger R/T, 20×10-inch Blacknoise wheels for Charger Scat Pack, and 20×11-inch Luster wheels for Charger Daytona Scat Pack. The gas-powered R/T and Scat Pack also receive black dual exhaust tips with the package, while dark exterior badging is used throughout.

For Daytona Scat Pack, the available Track Package adds equipment aimed at performance driving. Dodge includes red Brembo six-piston fixed front and four-piston fixed rear calipers, a Dual-Valve Adaptive Damping System, 20×11-inch front and 20×11.5-inch rear Satin Carbon wheels, and a Gloss Black performance spoiler. Inside, the package includes the Driver eXperience Recorder, Launch Control, heated and ventilated 12-way power high-back leather and suede performance seats with seatback bolster adjustment, and heated second-row seats.

Plus models are also eligible for the available fixed panoramic glass roof and Premium Audio Package. Charger Scat Pack Plus and Daytona Scat Pack Plus can add the Carbon & Suede Package, while Daytona Scat Pack can be equipped with an available Three-Season Tire Package.

Two-Door or Four-Door Dodge Charger

The 2026 Charger lineup gives shoppers another choice beyond powertrain and equipment level. Dodge offers its next-generation Charger in both two-door and four-door configurations. That applies to the gas-powered R/T and Scat Pack as well as the all-electric Daytona Scat Pack.

Both body styles retain the Charger’s widebody design and rear hidden-hatch layout. The hatch is integrated into the rear bodywork and provides access to the cargo area, allowing the Charger to combine its performance-oriented shape with additional cargo flexibility.

The exterior also uses signature LED lighting, including available cross-car front running lights and the illuminated Fratzog badge. At the rear, Dodge uses LED taillamps with a racetrack-inspired design. Our Dodge Charger exterior research page takes a closer look at these styling details along with the wheels, hidden hatch, lighting, and exterior differences between SIXPACK and Daytona models.

Comparing the 2026 Dodge Charger Trims

The differences between the 2026 Charger models begin with the powertrain. Charger R/T provides 420 horsepower from the SIXPACK SO engine. Charger Scat Pack steps up to the 550-horsepower SIXPACK HO and adds more standard performance equipment. Daytona Scat Pack moves to a 670-horsepower electric propulsion system and introduces Daytona-specific technologies such as PowerShot, Race Prep, Drift/Donut Mode, and the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust.

The Plus models keep the same power output as their corresponding models but add premium equipment. R/T Plus brings features such as the 16-inch digital cluster, Head-Up Display, premium lighting, and Attitude Adjustment interior lighting. Scat Pack Plus adds technology such as the Surround View Camera system, wireless charging, navigation, and ventilated front seats. Daytona Scat Pack Plus expands the electric model with access to premium Plus-model equipment and packages.

Body style adds one more decision. Every major 2026 Charger powertrain can be paired with a two-door or four-door configuration, allowing shoppers to compare the same performance formula in two different layouts. The complete 2026 Dodge Charger trims guide brings the major specifications and equipment differences together if you want to compare each configuration in one place.

Whether your priority is the 420-horsepower R/T, the 550-horsepower Scat Pack, or the 670-horsepower Daytona Scat Pack, the next-generation Charger offers several approaches to Dodge performance. Our 2026 Dodge Charger research hub connects the trim information with dedicated exterior, interior, and technology research so you can continue exploring the areas that matter most to you.
