2026 Gas-powered Dodge Charger: a powerful comeback in 2 and 4-door versions

Posted on December 23, 2025

The return of an icon, now in two formats

Dodge is making a strong statement for 2026 by bringing back one of its most iconic models: the gas-powered Charger, now available in both 2-door and 4-door versions. With the arrival of the 3.0L SIXPACK engines, offered in standard output and high-output forms, the Charger reconnects with its heritage of raw performance while incorporating modern technology, updated design, and a versatility that appeals to families and driving enthusiasts alike.

The SIXPACK engine: a new era of performance

At the heart of the 2026 Charger are two versions of the 3.0L inline-six turbocharged SIXPACK engine.

• SIXPACK – Standard Output: 420 hp, available on R/T models.
• SIXPACK – High Output: 550 hp, exclusive to Scat Pack models.

This updated powertrain marks a notable return to high-performance six-cylinder engines, delivering an ideal balance of power, efficiency, and reliability. The announced performance figures speak for themselves: the Charger Scat Pack aims for 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds.

Two doors or four: one style, two experiences

For 2026, Dodge offers a rare choice in the industry: a 2-door coupe or a 4-door sedan, both built on a shared structure but delivering distinct experiences.

The 2-door version: pure sportiness

The 2-door configuration enhances the sleek silhouette, sporty driving position, and easy access to the front row. It is designed for drivers seeking the authentic muscle-car feel.

The 4-door version: performance meets practicality

Ideal for families and professionals, the 4-door model adds a B-pillar and easier access to the rear seats without compromising the muscular character or signature Dodge style.

Both versions share:

• the same sculpted hood
• a redesigned hatch
• front and rear fascias
• a generous interior volume
• frameless windows, a rare design detail in today’s market

2026 Dodge Charger R/T: the perfect balance of power and comfort

Equipped with the 420-hp SIXPACK, the Charger R/T delivers a dynamic yet accessible driving experience.

Notable R/T 2026 features include:

• all-wheel drive with a dedicated RWD mode
• limited-slip differential
• touring suspension
• dual exhaust with active tips
• Drive, Sport, Snow, and Valet modes

Inside, the redesigned cabin features:

• cloth seats
• techno-leather flat-bottom steering wheel
• 10.25-inch digital cluster
• Uconnect 5 with 12.3-inch display
• wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

The R/T can also be enhanced with optional packages such as the Plus Group, Driver Convenience Group, and Performance Handling Group, each adding comfort, luxury, or performance features.

2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack: performance pushed to the extreme

For those who want more, the 2026 Scat Pack delivers an extra dose of adrenaline. Powered by the 550-hp SIXPACK engine, it stands apart from the R/T with:

• black fixed 6-piston front brakes
• performance suspension
• active exhaust system
• Custom and Eco drive modes
• launch assist with line-lock functionality
• 20 x 10-inch wheels
• heated sport seats in cloth and leatherette
• 506-watt Alpine audio system
• numerous advanced safety and driver-assistance technologies

Design upgrades also include a gloss-black rear spoiler and customizable interior ambient lighting.

Exterior design: modern Dodge identity with new colors

The 2026 Charger refreshes its visual signature with:

• LED reflector headlights or premium LED headlights depending on the package
• iconic “ring of fire” LED taillamps
• illuminated Fratzog emblem front and rear
• gloss-black roof
• flush body-color door handles

New exterior colors join the lineup, including Triple Nickel, RedeEye, After Dark, Bludicrous, along with exclusive limited-availability shades such as Peler and Mechanical Fury.

Technology and safety: a major leap forward

Each 2026 Charger model benefits from significant tech upgrades:

• Level 2 driver-assistance system
• active lane management with blind-spot monitoring
• panoramic cameras up to 360°
• head-up display (depending on package)
• Dodge Performance Pages

These innovations make the driving experience more intuitive and safer while preserving Dodge’s performance DNA.
