Dodge Charger Sixpack: Power, Style, and a Price That Surprises
2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack: Classic Power with Modern Comfort
Dodge has introduced the 2026 Charger Sixpack, a modern muscle car designed to deliver thrilling performance while keeping the spirit of classic American power alive. With two powerful engine options, standard all-wheel drive, and competitive pricing, the Sixpack offers a compelling alternative to its electric sibling.
Pricing and Variants
The new Sixpack is available in two versions the Standard Output R/T and the High-Output Scat Pack. Both come in two-door and four-door body styles, each delivering their own blend of muscle and practicality.
| Model | Price (Two-Door) | Price (Four-Door) |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack R/T (SO) | $51,990 | $53,990 |
| 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack Scat Pack (HO) | $56,990 | $58,990 |
| 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack (EV) | $61,990 | $63,990 |
Performance Highlights
The High-Output Scat Pack packs a 550 hp, 531 lb-ft “Hurricane” twin-turbo 3.0-liter straight-six engine, paired with an eight-speed Torqueflight automatic transmission. With forged pistons, rods, and crankshaft, it launches from 0-60 mph in just 3.9 seconds and runs the quarter-mile in 12.2 seconds.
The R/T model features a Standard Output version of the same engine, producing 420 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque still delivering a satisfying punch for muscle car enthusiasts.
Standard Features
No matter which version you choose, the Sixpack includes a robust set of performance and comfort features:
- Switchable AWD with rear-wheel drive mode
- Rear limited-slip differential
- Line lock software & launch control
- Active exhaust system
- Performance Pages for real-time metrics
Scat Pack Upgrades
The Scat Pack gains six-piston Brembo brakes, 20x10-inch diamond-cut wheels (with optional 20x11-inch), and wider 305-section tires for extra grip.
Design & Suspension Changes
Compared to the EV Daytona, the Sixpack trades the R-Wing passthrough for a traditional grille, needed for extra engine cooling. It also sports a unique forged multi-link front suspension and an independent four-link rear setup. Dodge claims a 25% handling improvement over the last-gen Scat Pack, reducing understeer and offering a more planted, neutral cornering feel.
Launch Timeline
Order books for the two-door Scat Pack open on August 11, with deliveries starting in the second half of 2025. R/T and four-door models will follow in the first half of 2026.
Future Possibilities
Enthusiasts hoping for a Hellcat V-8 might be in luck Dodge CEO Matt McAlear hinted the platform could accommodate it, thanks to its flexible design built to evolve with market demand and regulations.
