2026 Dodge Charger (4-door) overview β the latest four-door muscle sedan Dodge is offering, with what we know about engines, performance, dimensions, and (where available) fuel-economy context:
π What the 2026 Dodge Charger 4-Door Is
The 2026 Dodge Charger returns not just as a muscle car but also in a four-door sedan body, carrying the classic Charger presence with authentic performance while adding practicality. It is a full-size four-door vehicle that muscle-car enthusiasts can take to daily driving as well as spirited runs.
All current 2026 Charger models are available in four-door sedan form (in addition to two-door options).
π οΈ Engines & Performance
π₯ Gasoline Performance (Twin-Turbo Inline-6 "SIXPACKβ)
For 2026, Dodge has shifted to turbocharged inline-six engines (called Hurricane and SIXPACK) instead of traditional big V8s:
-
3.0 L Twin-Turbo Inline-6 β Standard Output (R/T): ~420 hp.
-
3.0 L Twin-Turbo Inline-6 β High Output / Scat Pack: ~550 hp and ~531 lb-ft torque.
-
Four-door Daytona Scat Pack (electrified)?. Dodge also previews Daytona Scat Pack with ~670 hp in higher performance versions; this includes AWD and extremely strong acceleration figures (~3.3 s 0β60 mph).
All of these engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD with a selectable RWD-only mode on many trims.
π Performance Highlights
Hereβs what these powertrains can do (typical for the lineup):
| Model / Powertrain | Horsepower | 0-60 mph (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| Charger R/T (3.0 L) | ~420 hp | β |
| Charger Scat Pack | ~550 hp | ~3.9 s (0-60 mph) |
| Charger Daytona Scat Pack | ~670 hp | ~3.3 s (0-60 mph) |
A standard AWD system is part of the performance package on all trims, giving better traction and rear-drive mode for traditional muscle car feel.
π Fuel Economy (General Guidance)
Official Dodge EPA mpg ratings are not yet published for most trims. However, with the new turbo-six engines and AWD, reasonable expectations based on similar heavy, powerful sedans are:
-
R/T (420-hp): ~ mid- to high-teens city / low-20s highway (estimate)
-
Scat Pack (550-hp): ~ mid-teens city / low-20s highway
-
Daytona Scat Pack (670-hp): slightly lower mpg due to very high performance
Exact EPA numbers (city/highway/combined) should appear once official figures are released later in 2026. Consumer and early owner reports suggest real-world highway could be in the ~20-mpg range and city well lower, especially in aggressive performance trims.
π Size & Practicality
-
Seating: 5 passengers
-
Body: Full-size four-door sedan with muscle car proportions
