2026 Dodge Charger Gas and Electric Models: Specs, Trims & Pricing for Lexington Drivers

The 2026 Dodge Charger brings gas and electric power together under one nameplate for the first time, and that has created some real confusion for shoppers. Two cars can wear the Charger badge, share a trim name like Scat Pack, and look nearly identical from the curb, yet one runs on a twin-turbo gas engine and the other is fully electric. If you are cross-shopping the new Charger at M&L Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Lexington, NC, here is a straightforward breakdown of how the lineup splits, what each model delivers, and what it costs.

The Quickest Way to Tell Gas From Electric: The “Daytona” Name 

There is one simple rule that clears up most of the confusion: 

• “Daytona” in the name = all-electric.
• No “Daytona” = gas.

So a Charger Scat Pack is the gas model, while a Charger Daytona Scat Pack is the electric one, even though both carry the Scat Pack name. 

A few facts apply across the entire 2026 Charger range: 

• Every Charger comes standard with all-wheel drive, including a selectable mode that can send 100% of torque to the rear wheels.
• Every model is available as a two-door coupe or a four-door sedan.
• The eighth-generation Charger marks the nameplate’s 60th year in 2026.

2026 Dodge Charger Gas Models: The SIXPACK Inline-Six 

The gas Charger is powered by Dodge’s new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six, branded the SIXPACK. This is an important point to get right: the SIXPACK is not a HEMI V8. The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 returned to the 2026 Ram 1500, but the new gas Charger uses the twin-turbo six instead. The engine comes in two states of tune. 

Charger R/T (SIXPACK Standard Output) 

• 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque
• 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds; quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds
• 23 mpg combined
• 50 more horsepower than the 5.7-liter HEMI R/T it replaces

Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch center touchscreen, a 10.25-inch driver display, a pistol-grip shifter, and selectable Sport, Auto, Eco, and Wet/Snow drive modes. The R/T Plus adds eight-way power seats, a 16-inch digital cluster, a head-up display, premium LED headlamps, and configurable interior lighting.

Charger Scat Pack (SIXPACK High Output) 

• 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque
• Eight-speed automatic with all-wheel drive
• Standard performance hardware: Launch Control, Line Lock, active dual-mode exhaust, performance suspension, and Brembo six-piston front brake calipers

The Scat Pack Plus adds a surround-view camera, wireless charging, ventilated front seats, navigation, and more. 

2026 Dodge Charger Daytona: All-Electric Performance 

On the electric side, the 2026 lineup centers on the Charger Daytona Scat Pack:

• 400-volt dual-motor all-wheel-drive system
• 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque
• 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds
• PowerShot adds an extra 40 horsepower for up to 10 seconds at the push of a button

The Daytona also introduces sounds and modes you will not find on the gas cars, including the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust and race-focused features like Drift and Donut modes, Launch Control, and battery race-prep settings. Inside, it carries the same core technology as the gas models, with a 12.3-inch center screen, a 16-inch digital cluster, and Performance Pages that display EV-specific data.

Two-Door Coupe or Four-Door Sedan

Every 2026 Charger, gas or electric, can be ordered as a two-door coupe or a four-door sedan: 

• The four-door body style adds $2,000 to the price of any trim.
• The sedan provides easier rear-seat access and added passenger space.
• A “hidden hatch” design offers up to 37.4 cubic feet of cargo room with the rear seats folded.
