Gas-Powered Dodge Charger 2 & 4-Door Orders Open

Order books are now open for the SIXPACK-powered 2026 Dodge Charger R/T. Delivering 420-horsepower, the two-door coupe and four-door sedan models offer the most standard horsepower of any muscle car.  The two-door has a starting MSRP of $49,995. The four-door starts from $51,995 (prices exclude tax, title and destination fees). Production begins in the first quarter of 2026, with deliveries expected to follow soon after.

The R/T joins the previously available to order 550-horsepower, SIXPACK-powered Dodge Charger Scat Pack and all-electric, 670-horsepower Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack. All models are available in both two-door or four-door trims.

“The Dodge Charger lineup delivers freedom to choose the perfect muscle machine, from 420 to 670 horsepower to an internal combustion or all-electric powertrain to a classic two-door or practical four-door model, without sacrificing performance or attitude,” said Matt McAlear, Dodge CEO. “The Charger R/T delivers the most standard horsepower of any muscle car, a perfect addition to the multi-energy Charger muscle car lineup that is all about the power of choice.”
