The 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK: Muscle Cars are Back!

Dodge has officially unveiled the gas-powered models joining the 2026 Charger lineup, and will soon be available for sale in Kansas City! The legendary nameplate now pairs modern engineering with the unmistakable attitude that's defined the Charger for decades. At the heart of this release is the all-new twin-turbo inline-six SIXPACK engine, delivering impressive performance in both the Scat Pack and R/T trims.

These gas-powered models join the recently launched all-electric Charger Daytona, offering buyers the choice between all-electric performance and the traditional punch of gasoline muscle.

3.0L Twin‐Turbo SIXPACK

The new 2026 Charger gas lineup centers on Dodge's SIXPACK twin-turbocharged 3.0L inline-six engine. This powerplant is available in both the Scat Pack and R/T, with 420 horsepower in the R/T and 550 horsepower in the Scat Pack. While the 2026 Charger does not include the 5.7L HEMI V8, which was recently announced as returning to the Ram 1500 lineup, the new twin-turbo SIXPACK engines deliver even more power.

How The 2026 Dodge Charger R/T Models Compare to the 2023 Models

The 2026 Dodge Charger R/T and Scat Pack both introduce major powertrain changes compared to their 2023 counterparts, offering significant performance upgrades and a shift from V8 engines to twin-turbo inline-six power.

Model / YearEngineHorsepowerTorque
2023 Charger R/T5.7L HEMI V8370 hp395 lb-ft
2023 Charger R/T Scat Pack6.4L HEMI V8485 hp475 lb-ft
2026 Charger R/T3.0L Twin‑Turbo SIXPACK420 hp468 lb-ft
2026 Charger Scat Pack3.0L Twin‑Turbo SIXPACK550 hp531 lb-ft

Both gas models come standard with all-wheel drive for confident traction in a range of conditions, along with the ability to shift to 100% rear-wheel drive at the push of a button. That means you get the best of both worlds-control when you want it and classic rear-drive dynamics when you don't.

2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack

The 2026 Charger Scat Pack is powered by a 3.0L Twin-Turbo Sixpack engine and has a 0-60 MPH of 3.9 seconds. This model includes:

  • 550 horsepower
  • 531 lb-ft of torque
  • Targeted 0-60 mph: 3.9 seconds
  • Quarter-mile: 12.2 seconds
  • MSRP* starting at $54,995

Standard all-wheel drive ensures year-round performance, and the ability to disengage the front axle for rear-wheel drive brings back the classic Charger driving feel. Available performance features include Line Lock for tire-warming burnouts, Launch Control for consistent acceleration runs, and available Brembo high-performance brakes for superior stopping power. The Scat Pack will be offered in both two-door and four-door configurations, with the two-door arriving first and the four-door set to follow in mid‐2026.

2026 Dodge Charger R/T

Slated for release in mid‐2026, the 2026 Charger R/T also carries the twin-turbo SIXPACK engine under its hood, tuned to 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. With an MSRP* starting at $49,995, the R/T brings a more accessible entry point into the twin-turbo Charger family while still delivering muscle car performance. Like the Scat Pack, it features standard AWD with a rear-drive mode and a choice of two-door or four-door body styles once fully available.

2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack

Available now, the 2026 Daytona Scat Pack takes performance to the next level with an all-electric powertrain.

  • 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque
  • 0-60 mph: 3.3 seconds
  • Quarter-mile: 11.5 seconds
  • Add 70 miles of range in 10 minutes with DC fast charging**
  • MSRP* starting at $59,995

Two‐Door and Four‐Door Variations

The 2026 Charger lineup marks the return of two-door body styles alongside the familiar four-door layout. Dodge will roll out availability in phases:

  • Charger Scat Pack: Two-door arriving first; four-door coming mid‐2026.
  • Charger R/T: Two-door and four-door arriving mid‐2026.
  • Daytona Scat Pack: Two-door and four-door available now.

Two-door and four-door options let buyers choose between a sportier coupe profile or the added practicality of a sedan-without sacrificing performance.

Technology and Driver Control

Inside, the 2026 Charger gas models blend performance with technology. Both the Scat Pack and R/T feature:

  • Customizable Digital Cluster
  • 12.3‐inch Uconnect® touchscreen
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android AutoTM compatibility
  • Drive modes to tailor performance at the push of a button

For drivers seeking precision control, the Scat Pack also includes advanced features like Line Lock and Launch Control as standard equipment.

Performance Features

The Charger Scat Pack offers multiple track-oriented performance features, including:

  • Line Lock: Locks the front brakes to allow rear tire spin for warm-up or burnouts
  • Launch Control: Optimizes torque at launch to improve grip and consistency
  • Available Brembo brakes: High-performance braking for performance driving
  • Available staggered tire setup: Widebody stance with wider rear tires 325/35ZR20 for stability and traction
  • Drive eXperience Recorder: Included with the Track Package; records drives via an integrated 1080p/60‐fps dashcam

These upgrades reflect Dodge's commitment to making the new Charger not just powerful, but also delivering on-track performance.

Standard Safety Features

The 2026 Charger comes with a robust set of safety and standard driver-assist technologies, including:

  • Active Driving Assist
  • Forward Collision Warning Plus
  • Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection
  • Traffic Sign Recognition

Cable Dahmer Fleet grand opening June 2026

Cable Dahmer Fleet & Commercial Service Center Celebrates Its Grand Opening in Kansas City

Cable Dahmer recently celebrated the grand opening of its new Commercial Service Center in Kansas City, MO. On June 24, 2026, the South Kansas City Chamber of Commerce joined our team for a ribbon cutting at the southwest corner of 135th Street and Holmes Road, in the heart of the Martin City neighborhood. The celebration brought together technicians, neighbors, and local business owners. To everyone who came out to support us, thank you. This is a moment we have looked forward to for a long time, and it means even more with the community standing alongside us. Visit Cable Dahmer Fleet & Commercial Service Center A New Home in Martin City The southwest corner of 135th Street and Holmes Road sat vacant for years. Today it is alive again, revitalized as a working home for fleet and commercial service in Kansas City. Choosing Martin City was intentional. It is a growing part of South Kansas City with a strong sense of community, and it puts our team closer to the businesses we serve every day. CEO Carlos Ledezma cut the ribbon to mark the occasion, and he shared why this location fits where the company is headed. Cable Dahmer CEO Carlos Ledezma cut the ribbon kicking off a new era on the southwest corner of 135th Street and Holmes Road. “We outgrew our last building, so this is really ideal for the kind of growth we're experiencing. And the location here in Martin City's thriving neighborhood is exactly what we want.” Built to Handle Vehicles at Scale The Commercial Service Center is designed to service large groups of vehicles in one place. That includes work vans and trucks, used cars, and brand new models. Vehicles are inspected, repaired or reconditioned, and outfitted with accessories, then sold or returned to the businesses that depend on them. Cable Dahmer Fleet & Commercial Service Center interior service area Everything about the space was planned for high vehicle volume, from the equipment on the floor to the way work flows through the building. It is a setup built for the realities of keeping commercial fleets on the road. Ready to Serve Kansas City Businesses The new facility strengthens how we deliver fleet and commercial service across Kansas City. Commercial Fleet Service Director Kyle Kitzsteiner explained who relies on the team and why the location works so well. “We have dozens of fleet accounts, mostly major national accounts. We also do a lot for local HVAC businesses and other contractors. 135th and Holmes Road is very convenient for them.” That mix of national accounts and local contractors is exactly the kind of work this location was built for. Whether a business runs a handful of service vehicles or a large fleet, the goal is the same. Keep vehicles maintained, keep downtime low, and keep the business moving. Commercial Fleet Service Director Kyle Kitzsteiner More Than a Building, It Is About People For Carlos Ledezma, the grand opening is about far more than square footage and vehicle bays. It is about the people who will build their careers here. “At its heart though, this is all about developing people. We want to give young technicians long-term career paths. We know that facilitating rewarding careers is good for our company. So, this location puts us in a stronger position to do that. We want to help them learn and grow. And we really enjoy watching it happen.” A Thank You to Our Martin City Neighbors A grand opening is only as good as the people who show up, and our neighbors made this one special. We were grateful to be welcomed by fellow Martin City businesses, including Jess & Jim's Steakhouse, Pegah's Cafe, Secure Passage, and Martin City Telegraph. Moments like that remind us why we chose this neighborhood. We are proud to be part of a community that shows up for one another. Looking Ahead With the ribbon cut and the doors open, we are excited about what comes next. The Cable Dahmer Commercial Fleet and Service Center is ready to serve the Kansas City community and the local businesses that keep it running. We look forward to building lasting relationships here in Martin City for years to come. To everyone who celebrated this milestone with us, thank you again. If your business is looking for a fleet and commercial service partner in Kansas City, our team would be glad to talk. Visit our Fleet & Commercial Service website to learn more and to contact us.
