2026 Dodge Charger

The redesigned Charger is offered in both 2-door and 4-door configurations, with a choice of electric or gas-only powertrains. The electric car is known as the Charger Daytona, and it is initially packaged as an R/T with 496 hp and a 308-mile range, and the Scat Pack with 670 hp and a 241-mile range. For traditionalists, there is also a twin-turbocharged inline-six engine available with 420 or 550 hp that came in 2026. Each gas engine is coupled to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Every Charger comes with all-wheel drive and standard AEB, BSW, RCTW, LKA, LDW, ACC and LCA. Also new, whether it's a two-door or a four-door, this Charger is a hatchback, with a folding rear seat. The modern cabin makes use of screens for gauges, controls, and customization, with many performance settings available.

Brand context

About Dodge

<p>Dodge has long been known for building outrageous high-performance muscle cars, including the Challenger and Charger, with brashly named trims—Hellcat, anyone? Dodge combined those nameplates into a new Charger, available as a coupe or sedan, with a choice of electric or turbocharged powertrains. The Durango SUV soldiers on, largely unchanged from 2011 and still based on the same design as the 2011-2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Most alarmingly, it lags behind more modern vehicles in crash tests. Dodge sits near Chrysler at the bottom of our used-car reliability rankings.</p><p><br/></p>
