No More Electric Charger For decades, the Dodge Charger has stood as a symbol of American muscle—bold, loud, and unapologetically powerful. When Dodge first revealed plans to go all-electric with the Charger model, many enthusiasts feared the end of an era. But Dodge listened. For 2026, the Charger returns with an all-new gasoline engine option alongside its electric variant, proving the muscle car spirit is far from gone. Our team at Jeff D'Ambrosio Auto Group is going to break it down. Why the Return of Gas Power Matters Heritage: The Charger name has always been synonymous with performance and attitude. Bringing back a gasoline option keeps that legacy alive while adapting to modern demands. Customer Demand: Not every driver is ready to trade the roar of a gas engine for the hum of an EV. Many enthusiasts still crave the sound, feel, and instant throttle response that only internal combustion can deliver. Choice: By offering both electric and gasoline versions, Dodge gives customers the freedom to choose their kind of performance—classic muscle or cutting-edge electric power. The 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK SIXPACK-powered Dodge Charger models feature a carbon-styled engine cover stamped with a red-accented SIXPACK text logo that announces the presence of the internal combustion engine under the hood. Dodge’s return to gasoline power comes in the form of the Charger SIXPACK, named after the legendary “Six-Pack” engines of the 1970s. But this time, it’s all new under the hood. Power and Performance The SIXPACK features a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six from Dodge’s Hurricane engine family. Two output levels are available: SIXPACK R/T (Standard Output): 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. SIXPACK Scat Pack (High Output): 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque. Both versions feature standard all-wheel drive, but the system can send up to 100% of the power to the rear wheels for classic muscle-car dynamics. Dodge estimates 0–60 mph in as little as 3.9 seconds for the High Output model. Performance features include Launch Control, Line-Lock, and a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. Design and Engineering The 2026 Charger shares its platform with the new electric models, allowing Dodge to balance performance and modern refinement. The exterior is instantly recognizable as a Charger—wide stance, aggressive front end, and a powerful presence. Inside, drivers will find a modern cockpit featuring high-tech displays, performance-focused controls, and premium materials that bridge the gap between muscle tradition and modern innovation. Despite being a turbocharged six-cylinder, Dodge engineered the exhaust and induction systems to deliver a deep, muscular sound worthy of the Charger badge. The Return of Real Muscle The reintroduction of gasoline power doesn’t mean Dodge is turning away from the future—it’s about offering both paths. The Charger lineup now includes: Electric variants for those who want cutting-edge EV performance. Gasoline SIXPACK models for drivers who want the roar, feel, and visceral experience of a combustion engine. This move signals Dodge’s understanding of its loyal fan base—those who still love the smell of fuel and the sound of an engine coming to life.
