Relentless to its core, the 2026 Dodge Charger tears up the pavement with a selection of potent powertrain options, including gas-powered engines or all-electric dual battery-drive motors, each paired with standard all-wheel drive (AWD). Beneath the hood, Charger R/T models feature a 3.0L SIXPACK standard-output twin-turbocharged straight-six (I6) gas engine with an output of 420 horsepower and 468 pound-feet of torque. Charger Scat Pack trims pack a punch with a 3.0L SIXPACK high-output (HO) twin-turbocharged I6 gas engine that generates 550 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque. Each SIXPACK engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The all-electric Charger Daytona lineup ushers in the next chapter of high-performance. Dual 400-volt (V) front and rear battery-drive motors unleash a pavement-melting 670 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque, mated with a front and rear offset one-speed gearbox transmission. When you want that extra surge of acceleration, the standard PowerShot instant power boost increases output by an additional 40 horsepower for 15 seconds at the press of a button.
With a tap of the touchscreen, the front-axle disconnect system gives the 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack and Daytona Scat Pack the ability to switch from AWD to rear-wheel drive (RWD), ideal for controlled drifting and lively track runs.
Maximize your track and drag strip performance with a selection of racing options. When you want to smoke the rear tires, a line lock feature is standard on the Charger Scat Pack and Scat Pack Plus trims, while launch control optimizes torque delivery for rapid acceleration off the line. Race prep and drift/donut modes are standard on the Charger Daytona trims and further enhance track-focused capability.
