2026 Dodge Charger: Engine Options, Pricing & Performance in Fontana

The 2026 Dodge Charger delivers a bold evolution for the muscle car segment, offering both a twin-turbocharged gasoline powertrain and a fully electric option under one nameplate. Whether you prefer the roar of combustion or the instant torque of electric motors, the Charger lineup provides distinct performance experiences across every trim. Drivers in Fontana, CA, and surrounding communities like Rancho Cucamonga and Riverside can explore the full 2026 Charger range at Fontana Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

The 3.0L Twin-Turbo SIXPACK Engine: The Gas-Powered Charger

At the heart of the gas-powered 2026 Charger is the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six engine — branded “SIXPACK” by Dodge — available in two configurations. The Charger R/T uses the standard-output (S.O.) version, producing 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful entry-level Charger ever built. The Charger Scat Pack steps up to the high-output (H.O.) version, delivering 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque with a targeted 0-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds.

Both engines feature lightweight aluminum construction, direct fuel injection, and twin turbochargers that build boost quickly for responsive acceleration. An 8-speed automatic transmission is paired with standard all-wheel drive across all trims. An on-demand rear-wheel-drive mode is available at the push of a button, giving drivers the classic muscle car experience — including the ability to do burnouts.

Charger Daytona: The Electric Muscle Car

For drivers drawn to electric performance, the Dodge Charger Daytona offers a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup producing 630 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque as standard — with the PowerShot feature boosting output to 670 horsepower for 10-second bursts. Dodge targets a 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds, making the Daytona one of the quickest production muscle cars available.

The Daytona Scat Pack delivers an EPA-estimated range of up to 241 miles on a full charge from its 100.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. DC fast charging supports up to 183 kW, allowing a 20-to-80 percent charge in approximately 24 minutes. Level 2 home charging takes roughly 10 hours for a full charge, making overnight charging practical for daily use.

One of the Daytona’s signature features is the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust — an electronically controlled system exclusive to the Charger Daytona that produces a distinctive muscle car sound even without a combustion engine. This system modulates its output based on driving mode and throttle input, providing an audible experience unique to the electric Charger.

The Charger Daytona also includes an 8-year / 100,000-mile battery warranty with advanced thermal management designed to maintain performance and battery health over the long term. The Scat Pack Plus adds premium upgrades including ventilated seats, wireless charging, a surround-view camera system, and the option for an 18-speaker Alpine audio system.

Two-Door and Four-Door Body Styles

The 2026 Charger is available in both two-door coupe and four-door sedan configurations across gas and electric powertrains. The coupe retains the aggressive, traditional muscle car profile. The sedan adds everyday practicality with easier rear-seat access and a more spacious cabin, while maintaining the same powertrain options and widebody stance. Both body styles feature the Charger’s hidden hatch design, which significantly increases cargo capacity compared to the previous generation.

The 2026 Dodge Charger represents a compelling new chapter for the muscle car, offering Fontana-area drivers the choice between twin-turbo gasoline performance and fully electric power across six trims, each available as a coupe or sedan.
