Picture this Dodge nameplate roaring back to life, embracing both heritage and innovation. The Charger Sixpack brings us exactly that. It trades the old V8 for a twin‑turbo 3.0‑liter Hurricane inline‑six, available in two flavorful tunes. The base R/T churns out a respectable 420 horsepower with 468 pound‑feet of torque. Tiptoe into the Scat Pack, and you unlock a whopping 550 horsepower paired with 531 pound‑feet of torque.
Both trims come standard with all‑wheel‑drive but keep it honest with a switch to rear‑drive at the push of a button. That AWD system gives way to a wide and planted feel, especially with the clever suspension upgrades Dodge promises: 25 percent better handling balance and sharper steering response.
Performance numbers impress. The Scat Pack launches from zero to 60 in just 3.9 seconds and runs the quarter mile in about 12.2 seconds. Top speed? A burly 177 miles per hour, outpacing even its electric counterpart.
Dodge has not skimped on driver aids. Both trims include launch control, Line Lock for burnout practice, a mechanical limited‑slip differential, and an active dual‑mode exhaust to let that inline‑six talk some serious muscle car noise.
The look is instantly familiar for Charger fans yet subtly modern. Gone is the EV’s R‑Wing; instead, a traditional bulging hood signals the presence of a proper engine under the sheetmetal. Mini visual tweaks, aggressive stance, and 20‑inch wheels complete the package.
Tech lovers will feel at home too. The Sixpack shares its cabin with the electric Charger Daytona. Expect a 12.3‑inch infotainment screen and a 10.25‑inch digital cluster, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Scat Pack buyers can option up to Nappa leather and wheel‑mounted shift paddles.
Finally, let us talk numbers. The R/T starts at $51,990 including destination, while the Scat Pack begins at $56,990. Orders open August 13, 2025 for the two‑door Scat Pack, with dealer arrivals expected in late 2025. The R/T and four‑door variants follow in early 2026.
The Charger Sixpack is a bold statement from Dodge. It leans into its roots while forging a modern path: turbocharged six‑cylinder power, AWD grip, and tech‑rich interior, all while preserving that addictive sense of performance that only a real muscle car can deliver.
