For the first time, the 2026 Dodge Charger is available as both a 2-door coupe and a 4-door sedan in the same model year. Same widebody chassis, same powertrains, same standard AWD. 

The 2026 Dodge Charger's gas engine is the 3.0L Hurricane Twin-Turbo Inline-Six, badged SIXPACK on the car. It replaces the 5.7L and 6.4L HEMI V8s with two outputs: 420 hp Standard Output (R/T) and 550 hp High Output (Scat Pack). Both pair with an 8-speed automatic. Deep-dive on engine architecture, SO vs HO differences, Hurricane vs HEMI specs compared, what the engine is like to drive, reliability, and central Minnesota considerations.
