Dodge has done it again bringing the growl of gasoline muscle back to the streets at a time when many thought the age of roaring engines was over. The 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack isn’t just another new car launch; it’s a bold statement that internal-combustion performance still has a place in the modern automotive world.
For decades, the Charger name has been synonymous with raw American power. While Dodge has been making headlines with its all-electric Charger Daytona, the Sixpack proves that the thrill of a turbocharged gasoline engine is far from extinct.

Two Flavors of Hurricane Power
The heart of the 2026 Charger Sixpack is Dodge’s new Hurricane 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine. Available in two power levels, it offers performance to suit both thrill-seekers and outright speed demons:
- Sixpack R/T – Standard Output (S/O) delivering 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque
- Sixpack Scat Pack – High Output (H/O) unleashing 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque
Both versions pair with a smooth-yet-aggressive 8-speed automatic transmission and come with standard all-wheel drive for maximum grip. For drivers who crave a little old-school fun, the AWD system can switch to rear-wheel-drive mode — perfect for burnouts, drifts, and smoky exits from the local Cars & Coffee.
Performance That Backs Up the Looks
The numbers speak for themselves. The Sixpack Scat Pack rockets from 0–60 mph in around 3.9 seconds, tearing through the quarter-mile in just over 12 seconds. Top speed? An estimated 177 mph for the Scat Pack and 168 mph for the R/T.
To help drivers get the most out of all that power, Dodge has packed the Sixpack with serious performance hardware:
- Launch Control for blistering starts
- Line Lock for easy, tire-shredding burnouts
- Mechanical Limited-Slip Differential for cornering grip
- Brembo Brakes for fade-free stopping power
Aggressive Muscle Car Styling
While the Sixpack shares much of its DNA with the electric Charger Daytona, it makes its gasoline identity clear with aggressive design touches. The muscular power-dome hood hides the twin-turbo heart, while the mail-slot grille and enlarged front bumper intakes feed it with air. Out back, dual exhaust outlets deliver an exhaust note that’s equal parts menace and music.
Dodge is also shaking up its trim names the R/T is now referred to as the “GT” in ICE trim, and the Scat Pack adopts the bold “Outlaw” name in some markets, signaling the start of a new branding era.
Inside: Modern Tech Meets Classic Attitude
Step inside the 2026 Charger Sixpack, and you’ll find a cockpit designed for both comfort and command. The driver’s seat is framed by a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch Uconnect infotainment screen both crisp, responsive, and customizable.
Other highlights include:
- 64-color ambient lighting for a customizable vibe
- Premium materials with sporty accents
- Advanced driver-assistance features for everyday usability
Dodge has successfully blended modern tech with a driver-focused layout, ensuring that the Sixpack feels like a performance machine but can still handle the daily commute.

The Bigger Picture: Dodge’s Muscle Future
The Sixpack isn’t just a throwback; it’s part of Dodge’s broader strategy to keep muscle cars alive in a world shifting toward electrification. While the Charger Daytona EV leads the charge for zero-emission performance, the Sixpack caters to purists who still want the sound, feel, and visceral punch of an internal-combustion engine.
And here’s the kicker Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis has hinted that the legendary Hellcat V8 could make a comeback in the future. If that happens, the Sixpack might just be the warm-up act for something truly outrageous.
Final Word
The 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack is proof that the golden age of muscle cars isn’t over it’s evolving. With twin-turbo power, AWD capability, aggressive styling, and a price tag that undercuts many European performance sedans, Dodge is offering a compelling package for both loyal fans and new buyers.
In short? The Sixpack is loud, fast, and unapologetically fun just as a Charger should be.
