The 2026 Charger uses Dodge's 3.0L twin-turbo Hurricane inline-six in two gasoline configurations. The R/T produces 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque, while the Scat Pack uses the high-output engine to generate 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft. Both engines connect to an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.
The R/T gives drivers a 4.6-second manufacturer-targeted 0-to-60-mph time, while Car and Driver recorded 4.7 seconds in its R/T testing. The publication also recorded 3.7 seconds to 60 mph with a Scat Pack Plus coupe.
For Jefferson City drivers, that power can make highway merging on US-54 or US-50 more responsive while the available rear-drive mode gives enthusiasts another way to configure the Charger.

The 2026 Charger combines muscle-car styling with a liftback-style rear opening. Two-door and four-door versions share the same 121-inch wheelbase and 206.6-inch length, while the four-door configuration provides easier access for rear passengers.
Car and Driver lists 23 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seats and 37 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. That gives the Charger useful space for groceries, luggage, sports equipment, and everyday cargo without requiring an SUV.
The five-passenger layout can also work for Jefferson City households traveling toward Columbia, Lake of the Ozarks, or nearby Mid-Missouri recreation areas.
The Charger incorporates a digital cockpit with a center touchscreen and available larger digital instrumentation. Performance Pages provide information such as acceleration times, G-forces, braking data, engine power, torque, turbo boost, and other performance measurements.
Available technology includes navigation, wireless smartphone charging, a 360-degree camera, blind-spot monitoring, and additional driver-assistance equipment depending on configuration.
Car and Driver tested the 2026 Charger R/T and recorded a 4.7-second 0-to-60-mph time. The publication concluded that the Hurricane inline-six makes the R/T "a credible Dodge Charger," while noting that the new model delivers more power than the previous R/T's V-8.

A 2026 Dodge Charger owner, Pete P from Charleston, South Carolina, described his experience with the Charger after using it for commuting:
"The Charger is pretty comfortable with high grade materials and large passenger seating. The backseat can actually be used by adults which is impressive in a sports coupe."
He also described the Charger as extremely quick and said its technology was working well during his ownership.
