The 2026 Dodge Charger

Performance & Specs

Power, precision, and personality define the 2026 Charger lineup. Dodge offers a trio of exhilarating powertrains, giving Gulfport drivers the freedom to choose between electrified torque or traditional internal-combustion excitement.

For drivers who crave the roar of an engine, the SIXPACK powertrains deliver classic Charger fury. The Charger Scat Pack uses a high-output 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six with 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the most powerful sedans under $60,000. The Charger R/T, equipped with a standard-output version of the same engine, still delivers an impressive 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque for pure muscle on demand.

Each model employs an advanced 8-speed automatic transmission, complemented by adaptive all-wheel drive and a front-axle disconnect that allows true rear-wheel performance when desired.

Capability

Built on the all-new STLA Large platform, the 2026 Charger delivers precise handling, aggressive cornering, and remarkable road manners that redefine what a muscle car can do. Its balanced chassis design and available adaptive damping suspension help the Charger remain composed on the open highway or the tight curves along Beach Boulevard.

The Daytona Scat Pack features an advanced battery weight distribution that lowers its center of gravity, translating to exceptional grip and agility. Meanwhile, the gas-powered R/T and Scat Pack trims are engineered with performance-tuned suspension, high-capacity Brembo® brakes, and Launch Control for razor-sharp response.

Selectable drive modes—including Auto, Sport, Wet/Snow, and Custom—allow drivers to tailor handling, throttle mapping, and transmission behavior to their preferred style.

Interior

The 2026 Charger’s cabin blends modern technology with iconic Dodge craftsmanship. Its cockpit design wraps around the driver, placing every control within easy reach while maintaining a commanding view of the road.

Standard materials include soft-touch surfaces, premium cloth, and contrast stitching, while upper trims like the Scat Pack and Daytona elevate the experience with available leather-trimmed upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, and ambient LED lighting. A flat-bottomed performance steering wheel with paddle shifters emphasizes the car’s racing heritage, while ergonomic seating ensures comfort during long commutes or Gulf Coast getaways.

The redesigned center stack houses Dodge’s latest Uconnect® 5 infotainment system with a vibrant 12.3-inch touchscreen—standard across most trims—and a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster that provides customizable performance data. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, multiple USB-C ports, and a premium Harman Kardon® audio system are available to complete the premium feel.

Crew or family-sized? The Charger’s liftback body configuration provides exceptional cargo flexibility, with over 37 cubic feet of space and easy access for luggage, sports gear, or daily essentials. From refined coupe to practical sedan, every configuration of the 2026 Charger feels as functional as it is fierce.

Exterior

The 2026 Charger is unmistakably Dodge—wide, confident, and muscular. Its bodywork captures the spirit of the classic 1960s Chargers while bringing it firmly into the future. Every curve and crease is engineered for aerodynamic performance, highlighted by the R-Wing front fascia on the Daytona Scat Pack, which channels airflow through a front opening for increased downforce and efficiency.

Aggressive LED lighting, flared fenders, and sculpted lines give both the 2-door and 4-door models presence unlike anything else on the road. The liftback design provides a modern interpretation of Dodge muscle while adding practicality for everyday use.

Distinctive details set each trim apart. The R/T carries a bold stance with gloss-black accents and dual exhaust tips, while the Scat Pack adds functional heat extractors, unique hood graphics, and larger 20-inch performance wheels. The Daytona Scat Pack features blackout styling, illuminated badging, and an illuminated Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust—a world-first system that uses tuned chambers and speakers to create an authentic exhaust note for the electric model.

Available finishes like Destroyer Gray, Frostbite Blue, and TorRed make the Charger as striking visually as it is mechanically. Whether you choose a coupe or sedan, this is design with a purpose—modern muscle refined for Gulfport streets and Mississippi highways.

Technology & Safety

From connectivity to confidence, the 2026 Charger is loaded with cutting-edge systems designed to make every drive smarter and safer.

Inside, the latest Uconnect® 5 infotainment platform powers the 12.3-inch touchscreen, offering advanced navigation, wireless smartphone connectivity, and personalized user profiles. Performance Pages and Drive Mode settings let drivers monitor acceleration, G-forces, and boost pressure in real time. An optional Driver Experience Recorder allows you to capture lap footage or drag-strip data, while over-the-air software updates keep your Charger current with new features.

Safety remains a Dodge priority. Available systems include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Rear Cross-Path Detection. The 360° Surround View Camera and Digital Rearview Mirror add convenience for parking and towing alike. Battery models include a reinforced safety cage and advanced cooling systems for long-term durability.

From D’Iberville to Pascagoula, the Charger offers both thrill and peace of mind—technology designed not just to protect you, but to empower every drive.

Daytona Scat Pack

The all-electric Daytona Scat Pack represents the future of muscle performance. Its dual-motor AWD setup produces 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, with launch-ready acceleration that pins you to the seat. Exclusive to this model is the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, simulating a deep, resonant growl to connect drivers emotionally to every surge of power. The interior features unique EV displays, available suede-and-leather performance seats, and ambient lighting synced with drive modes.

Charger Scat Pack

The Scat Pack’s 3.0-liter twin-turbo SIXPACK high-output engine pushes 550 horsepower through an advanced AWD system capable of shifting to rear-wheel mode for track-level control. Exterior enhancements include a performance hood, functional vents, widebody stance, and Scat Pack badging. Inside, heated and ventilated seats, premium audio, and detailed performance instrumentation make it a driver’s sanctuary. It’s a pure expression of modern Dodge—balanced, bold, and brutally fast.

Charger R/T

It delivers swift acceleration, responsive handling, and a driving experience that feels anything but “entry-level.” Standard all-wheel drive and launch control deliver assured grip, while its available Blacktop Package adds gloss-black accents, 20-inch wheels, and distinctive R/T badging. The R/T is the gateway to muscle car heritage—refined yet unmistakably Dodge.
