With the return of the legendary gas-powered Charger, Dodge’s muscle car lineup only got more exciting. The 2026 Dodge Charger features 0-to-60-mph times as low as 3.3 seconds, excellent maneuverability, and Brembo high-performance brakes.
Fierce Gas and Electric Powertrains
Depending on your taste, you can choose between an equally fierce gas-powered and electric Dodge Charger. The Charger Scat Pack model is propelled by a 3.0L twin-turbocharged SIXPACK engine that produces 550 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to all four wheels by default, but you can instantly switch to rear-wheel drive at the push of a button. The gas-powered Charger is capable of hitting 60 mph in a lightning-fast 3.9 seconds.
If you crave the sharp throttle response delivered by instantaneous electric torque, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack is the right choice. This model features a 400-volt propulsion system that incorporates two electric motors, letting loose 670 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. Putting the pedal to the metal catapults the Charger Daytona Scat Pack from 0 to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds.
Outstanding Maneuverability
The Dodge Charger is exceptionally quick around bends and corners, unlike traditional muscle cars. Some of its maneuverability comes from a rigid chassis that incorporates materials with a high strength-to-weight ratio. The Daytona Scat Pack model also features a nearly 50-50 weight distribution, which improves stability and provides uniform traction.
Standard on both Charger models is a multilink front suspension and a fully independent integral link rear suspension. This state-of-the-art suspension system provides an excellent steering feel and reduces body roll when cornering aggressively. It also features a dual-valve adaptive damping system that guarantees consistent performance across various driving conditions.
High-Performance Brakes
You can confidently push the Dodge Charger to its limits, thanks to the standard Brembo high-performance brakes that let you slow down quickly when needed. This braking system comes with 16-inch vented front and rear rotors as well as six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, all of which work together to produce tremendous friction the moment you press the brake pedal.
The Charger Daytona Scat Pack model also features a regenerative braking system that works by recapturing kinetic energy when you lift your foot off the accelerator. This system uses brake-by-wire technology and several sensors to determine the most natural timing to deploy the brakes. Recaptured kinetic energy is converted into electricity and used to charge the battery, enabling you to last longer on the track. The level of regenerative braking can be increased to decrease reliance on the friction-based brakes.
