2026 Dodge Charger Performance Specs

Harness the exhilarating power of the 2026 Dodge Charger with either its gas-powered engines or all-electric dual battery-drive motors, all matched with a standard all-wheel drive (AWD). Each of the two Charger R/T trims is equipped with the 3.0L SIXPACK standard-output (SO) twin-turbocharged straight-six I6 gas engine, delivering an uncompromising 420 horsepower. Both Charger Scat Pack trims pack a 550-horsepower punch with the 3.0L SIXPACK high-output (HO) twin-turbocharged straight-six gas engine. Each SIXPACK engine configuration is mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

When next-generation performance is more your style, Dodge takes its renowned muscle car heritage to new heights with the all-electric Charger Daytona and Charger Daytona Plus lineup, rocketing your drive with its dual 400-volt (V) G2500 front and rear battery-drive motors to unleash a pulse-pounding 670 horsepower. Flex your driving performance muscle on the track in both Daytona Scat Pack models with the standard PowerShot instant power boost, increasing output by an additional 40 horsepower for 15 seconds at the press of a button on the steering wheel.
