The 2026 Dodge Charger brings a new generation of muscle car performance with a choice of gas-powered SIXPACK models or the all-electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack. Every 2026 Charger comes with all-wheel drive, while the gas-powered Charger R/T and Charger Scat Pack can send 100% of available torque to the rear wheels at the driver’s command. The lineup is also available in both two-door and four-door configurations.
The Charger R/T uses a 3.0L Twin-Turbo SIXPACK Standard-Output Straight-Six engine with up to 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. Charger Scat Pack steps up to the High-Output SIXPACK with up to 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, while the all-electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack delivers 670 horsepower, 627 lb-ft of torque and a targeted 3.3-second 0-to-60 mph time. Across the lineup, Dodge combines widebody styling, a hidden rear hatch, driver-focused technology and available performance features built around the Charger name.
The 2026 Charger uses a widebody frame that gives the next-generation muscle car a broad, planted stance. Dodge combines that shape with LED high- and low-beam headlights, available full-width cross-car running lights and an illuminated Fratzog badge centered in the front fascia. At the rear, LED taillamps draw inspiration from Dodge’s classic racetrack lighting design.
Utility is worked into the shape through a hidden rear hatch that provides wider access to the cargo area while remaining integrated into the Charger profile. Gas-powered Charger R/T and Scat Pack models also feature a performance hood with SIXPACK branding and stainless dual exhaust tips. Charger Daytona Scat Pack takes a different approach with the R-Wing Front Aero Passthrough, which Dodge says can reduce front lift by up to 30% and drag by up to 3%.
Dodge designed the Charger cabin around a driver-focused cockpit with freestanding digital displays and performance-oriented controls. A center-console On button provides one-touch startup, while the pistol-grip shifter and flat-top and flat-bottom performance steering wheel reinforce the Charger’s muscle car character from the driver’s seat.
Available Attitude Adjustment Lighting can illuminate the doors and instrument panel with a choice of 64 colors and react to events such as startup, door openings and drive mode changes. Available heated and ventilated performance-inspired seats are offered in several materials, including Nappa leather and suede combinations. Dodge also offers Alpine audio systems, including an available 18-speaker Alpine Pro system with a 10-inch subwoofer.
The 2026 Charger places a 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen at the center of its connected technology. Wireless Apple CarPlay support and Android Auto compatibility allow drivers to bring compatible smartphone features into the cabin without plugging in, while Dual Smartphone Support helps both the driver and passenger access contacts, information and entertainment.
Dodge Performance Pages provide information such as timers, gauges, G-Force and propulsion data. Charger Daytona models add EV Pages for charging schedules, range-related information and charging station searches. Drivers can also use selectable drive modes, including Sport, Wet/Snow and Custom, while Daytona Scat Pack offers available Track and Drag modes for more specialized performance settings.
Dodge gives the 2026 Charger three distinct performance personalities. Charger R/T uses the 3.0L SIXPACK Standard-Output Twin-Turbo Straight-Six with up to 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. Charger Scat Pack uses the High-Output version with up to 550 horsepower, 531 lb-ft of torque and 30 psi of peak boost, helping it reach 60 mph in 3.9 seconds.
Charger Daytona Scat Pack uses a 400-volt electric propulsion system with two electric drive motors and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery. Dodge rates it at 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque with a targeted 3.3-second 0-to-60 mph time and more than 270 miles of all-electric driving range. Performance features across the lineup include standard all-wheel drive, while Charger R/T and gas-powered Scat Pack can send 100% of torque to the rear wheels on command.
The 2026 Charger uses cameras, radar and sensors to support a range of standard and available safety and driver-assistance technologies. Available camera systems can provide additional views around the car while parking, changing lanes or maneuvering near curbs and other obstacles.
Dodge also lists technologies such as Active Driving Assist, Forward Collision Warning Plus, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection, Traffic Sign Recognition and Drowsy Driver Detection. These systems are intended to support driver awareness and assistance while the driver remains responsible for vehicle control.
The 2026 Charger lineup gives shoppers a choice between gas-powered SIXPACK performance and all-electric Daytona performance. Charger R/T serves as the standard-output SIXPACK model, Charger Scat Pack brings the high-output version of the 3.0L Twin-Turbo Straight-Six, and Charger Daytona Scat Pack delivers the highest horsepower output through an all-electric propulsion system.
Each of these Charger choices is offered in two-door and four-door configurations. Dodge also provides available packages such as Blacktop, while Plus models can add features including a fixed panoramic glass roof and Premium Audio Package. Daytona Scat Pack can be equipped with the Track Package for additional braking, suspension and track-focused equipment.

All three deliver standard all-wheel drive and are available with either two doors or four doors, but each creates a different performance experience.
Charger R/T balances everyday performance with the 420-horsepower SIXPACK Standard-Output engine.
