The 2026 Dodge Charger brings serious performance to Athens roads with two engine options. The R/T Plus and GT trims feature a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-6 engine that delivers 420 horsepower. For drivers wanting more, the Scat Pack trims boost output to 550 horsepower from the same engine with high-output tuning. Both engines pair with an 8-speed automatic transmission and full-time all-wheel drive (AWD) for confident handling in any weather.
Performance goes beyond raw horsepower. Available Performance Handling Groups add sport-tuned suspension, high-performance brakes, and wider tires for better grip. Drivers can activate Launch Control for maximum acceleration from a standstill. Line Lock helps warm the tires before hard runs, while Race Prep mode adjusts vehicle settings for track use. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters give manual control when wanted.
The charger's all-wheel drive (AWD) system sends force to all four wheels for better traction. Whether choosing the coupe or sedan body style, drivers get the same performance features.
