Dodge is redefining the muscle car segment with its new multi-energy Charger lineup, named 2026 Detroit Free Press Car of the Year. The range includes the SIXPACK-powered Dodge Charger Scat Pack and the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack, delivering up to 670 horsepower.

Auto critic Mark Phelan wrote, “You want the home-charging convenience and surging, implacable acceleration of a 670-horsepower electric vehicle? The Charger Daytona’s got you.” Built on Stellantis’ STLA Large multi-energy platform, the eighth-generation Charger offers unmatched flexibility with ICE or EV powertrains, two- or four-door configurations, and standard AWD.

The Charger has also earned TopGear.com U.S. Car of the Year honors, 2025 Vehicle of the Year from The Detroit News, Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems, and Wards 10 Best Interior and UX awards, while being a finalist for 2026 North American Car of the Year.
