Exploring the 2026 Dodge Charger: Interior Technology, Trims, & Pricing at Fontana CDJR
The 2026 Dodge Charger is a completely redesigned muscle car and the 2026 North American Car of the Year. At the heart of every gas-powered Charger is the all-new SIXPACK twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six engine, replacing the previous generation’s HEMI V8 with more power, standard all-wheel drive, and modern engineering. Available in both two-door coupe and four-door sedan body styles, the Charger delivers a driver-focused cabin packed with technology designed for performance enthusiasts and daily commuters across Fontana, San Bernardino, and Rancho Cucamonga alike.
Interior Technology: A Driver-Centric Cockpit
The 2026 Charger’s cabin centers on a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen that controls entertainment, navigation, and vehicle settings. The system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing seamless smartphone integration without cables. A standard 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster provides essential driving data, while Plus trims upgrade to a 16-inch display with customizable layouts — including Performance Pages on Scat Pack Plus that track acceleration times, engine output, and G-forces in real time.
Available Attitude Adjustment Lighting offers 64 customizable colors that transform the cabin atmosphere. Dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry, push-button start, and remote start through the Dodge smartphone app come standard across the lineup. A retro-inspired pistol grip shifter positions the driver’s hand near the engine start button, reinforcing the cockpit-focused layout.

R/T & R/T Plus
The R/T is the entry point to the SIXPACK Charger at $49,995 MSRP for the two-door, powered by the standard-output engine producing 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. Dodge targets a 5.0-second sprint to 60 mph and a 13.6-second quarter-mile, with a top speed of 168 mph. Standard features include the 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, dual-zone climate control, a six-speaker Alpine audio system, and 18-inch wheels. An available Performance Handling Group adds Brembo brakes, Line Lock, and Launch Control.
The R/T Plus starts at approximately $54,995 MSRP for the two-door and adds the premium technology experience: a 16-inch digital instrument cluster, head-up display, 64-color Attitude Adjustment interior lighting, premium LED headlamps, and a 360-degree surround view camera. Notably, the R/T Plus and Scat Pack share the same price point — giving shoppers a clear choice between more features or more power at identical cost. R/T models are arriving at dealerships in mid-2026.
Scat Pack & Scat Pack Plus
The Scat Pack steps up to the high-output SIXPACK engine with 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, starting at $54,995 MSRP for the two-door. Standard performance equipment includes Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear brakes, performance suspension with Dual-Valve Adaptive Damping, Launch Control, Line Lock, active exhaust, adaptive cruise control, and 20-inch performance wheels with Goodyear tires. Dodge claims a 3.9-second sprint to 60 mph, a 12.2-second quarter-mile, and a 177 mph top speed. Every Scat Pack buyer receives a complimentary day of high-performance driving instruction at Radford Racing School.
The Scat Pack Plus starts at approximately $59,990 MSRP for the two-door and adds the full technology suite: 16-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, head-up display, navigation, Performance Pages, and premium LED headlamps. Available upgrades include the Alpine 18-speaker audio system with a 900-watt amplifier, a fixed panoramic glass roof with UV protection, and the Carbon and Suede Package featuring leather-and-suede performance seats with carbon fiber console and door panel accents.
For shoppers considering the all-electric option, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack delivers 670 horsepower from a dual-motor powertrain starting at $59,995 MSRP — a separate model line from the gas-powered SIXPACK trims.
Two-Door vs. Four-Door: Choosing Your Body Style
| Specification | Two-Door Coupe | Four-Door Sedan |
|---|---|---|
| Cargo Space (Seats Up) | An estimated 22.8 cu ft | An estimated 38.5 cu ft |
| Cargo Space (Seats Folded) | An estimated 37.4 cu ft | Seats fold flat |
| Seating Capacity | 5 passengers | 5 passengers |
| Price Premium | Base MSRP | +$2,000 per trim |
| Rear Access | Fold-forward front seats | Dedicated rear doors |
| Rear Cargo Design | Liftback hatch | Liftback hatch |
Both body styles share the same platform, powertrain, and performance tuning — the four-door sedan does not sacrifice power or handling compared to the coupe. Both feature the Charger’s distinctive liftback design, providing hatch-style cargo access rather than a traditional trunk. At a $2,000 difference, the choice comes down to the iconic coupe silhouette versus everyday practicality for families and commuters across Claremont and San Bernardino.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Standard safety equipment includes Active Driving Assist with partial autonomous capability for acceleration, braking, and lane positioning. Forward Collision Warning Plus can detect vehicles or pedestrians and engage emergency braking automatically. Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection provides lane-change and reversing alerts, while Traffic Sign Recognition and Drowsy Driver Detection round out the standard suite.
Available upgrades on Plus trims add a 360-degree Surround View Camera, Side Distance Warning, ParkSense with Camera, and a Front Tire-to-Curb Camera. NHTSA and IIHS crash test ratings for the redesigned 2026 Charger have not yet been published.
