Dodge is rewriting the muscle car playbook again, and this time it’s all about big power, bold style, and surprisingly accessible pricing. Meet the all-new 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack, a twin-turbo, all-wheel-drive beast with 550 horsepower and a starting price just under $55,000. That makes it the most powerful car you can buy for under $55K.
At the heart of the new Scat Pack is Dodge’s all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane Twin Turbo inline-six, now officially branded as the SIXPACK. In high-output (H.O.) form, it cranks out 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, launching the Charger Scat Pack from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and through the quarter mile in 12.2 seconds. Top speed? A tire-melting 177 mph.
There’s also a 420-hp SIXPACK standard-output version under the hood of the new Charger R/T, starting at $49,995.
The SIXPACK H.O. is fed by twin Garrett GT2054 turbochargers delivering up to 30 psi of boost. All SIXPACK Chargers come standard with all-wheel drive, but the Scat Pack includes a rear-wheel-drive mode that lets you send 100% of torque to the rear wheels. Yes, burnouts are encouraged — especially with Line Lock and Launch Control baked in.
A new suspension setup with a multi-link front and four-link rear, Brembo six-piston brakes, and an improved weight balance gives the Scat Pack 25% better handling balance and sharper response than the last-gen model. It also gets a Brake-by-Wire eBoost system and a mechanical limited-slip differential.
The 2026 Charger gets a muscular new widebody design with a unique SIXPACK performance hood, aggressive grille, and debossed “CHARGER” lettering across the rear fascia. Massive 20×10-inch wheels, a standard rear spoiler, and optional Blacktop or Carbon & Suede packages add even more street presence.
Inside, the Charger blends retro cues with cutting-edge tech. The cabin features a freestanding 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster (optional 16-inch available), a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, and a sculpted dash inspired by the 1968 Charger. Dodge’s new Attitude Adjustment ambient lighting wraps around the cabin and reacts to drive modes, engine start, and more.
Heated Nappa leather seats, optional Demonic Red leather, and an 18-speaker, 914-watt Alpine premium sound system are on the options list.
With pricing starting at $54,995, plus the $1,995 destination charge, the Charger Scat Pack is bargain for everything you get under the hood. If electric is more appealing, Dodge also offers the 2026 Charger Daytona Scat Pack EV with 670 horsepower for $59,995.
Two- and four-door versions of the gas-powered Scat Pack and R/T are on the way, with two-door Scat Pack models landing in showrooms in late 2025.
