New Charger Sixpack models deliver up to 550 horsepower, all-wheel drive, and a trick rear-drive mode for classic muscle antics.
Dodge is bringing the tire smoke back to the muscle car scene with the 2026 Charger Sixpack, a turbocharged take on the brand’s long-running performance sedan. Offered in two trims — a 420-horsepower R/T and a 550-horsepower Scat Pack — the new model marks a major shift in the Charger lineup while keeping its legacy of raw power intact.
Both variants are powered by Dodge’s new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six “Hurricane” engine, a departure from the naturally aspirated V8s that defined previous generations. Despite the change, Dodge says performance and attitude remain central to the Charger’s identity. Standard all-wheel drive helps put power to the pavement, but an integrated “Donut Mode” allows drivers to temporarily route torque exclusively to the rear wheels — a nod to the brand’s burnout-loving fan base.
The Charger Sixpack rides on a revised chassis designed to balance everyday drivability with track-ready handling. Dodge claims the Scat Pack can hit 60 mph in the low 4-second range, while the R/T still offers brisk acceleration paired with improved fuel efficiency over the outgoing V8 models.
Styling cues borrow from classic Charger muscle, with a wide stance, aggressive front fascia, and retro-inspired lighting elements. Inside, the cabin blends modern tech with performance-focused details, including heavily bolstered seats, customizable digital displays, and a drive mode selector that adjusts steering, suspension, and power delivery.
The new Sixpack lineup is part of Dodge’s broader performance strategy as the industry shifts toward electrification. While the all-electric Charger Daytona is also on the horizon, the Sixpack offers a bridge for enthusiasts who still want the feel and sound of internal combustion — just with a modern, turbocharged twist.
Production of the 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack is set to begin later this year, with pricing expected to be announced closer to its on-sale date.
