2026 Dodge Charger 2-door (gasoline performance coupe), official EPA city/highway mpg figures have started to surface from early testing and estimates based on newly released specs:
🚘 2026 Dodge Charger (2-Door, Gas Scat Pack) – City/Highway MPG
-
City: ~16 mpg
-
Highway: ~26 mpg
-
Combined: ~20 mpg
(Car and Driver estimated EPA figures for the 2026 Charger Scat Pack with the twin-turbo 3.0 L inline-six engine and AWD drivetrain.)
🔎 Details
-
Engine: Twin-turbocharged 3.0 L inline-6 (High-Output) — ~550 hp / 531 lb-ft torque.
-
Transmission: 8-speed automatic.
-
Drivetrain: AWD standard (with selectable RWD mode for fun driving).
-
Fuel Tank: ~17.5 gallons.
👉 These figures are from early EPA estimates specific to the Scat Pack coupe (the performance model) — estimates for other trims (like a potential R/T with less power) may be slightly better on highway mpg.
📊 Quick MPG Summary — 2026 Charger 2-Door (Gas)
| Configuration | City MPG | Highway MPG | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scat Pack (550 hp, AWD) | ~16 mpg | ~26 mpg | ~20 mpg |
🧠 Notes & Real-World Context
-
Real-world highway driving at moderate speeds and lighter throttle may yield slightly higher mpg than early EPA estimates. Enthusiasts often report performance cars averaging mid-20s mpg on highway cruising when not driven hard.
-
Chargers with less aggressive power (like a lower-output twin-turbo or a "standard output” engine) are expected to be marginally more efficient than the high-output Scat Pack.
-
Fuel economy will drop if you’re using the Charger’s muscle-car performance frequently — hard acceleration, track use, and heavy throttle will significantly reduce mpg.
If you want, I can compare these mpg numbers with other performance coupes (like the Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro equivalents) to see how the Charger stacks up!
