Overview
- Order books are live for the 2026 Charger R/T at $49,995, with a four-door at $51,995 and production slated to start in Q1 2026.
- The R/T uses a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six rated at 420 hp and 468 lb-ft, with quoted targets of 0–60 mph in 5.0 seconds, a 13.6-second quarter-mile, and a 168 mph top speed.
- All-wheel drive is standard, and a push-button on-demand mode can send 100% of torque to the rear wheels via a mechanical limited-slip differential.
- The optional Performance Handling Group adds Launch Control, Line Lock, a performance suspension, Brembo six-piston front brakes, 20x10 wheels, sport seats, and Performance Pages.
- Early analysis from independent outlets questions whether the R/T’s real-world acceleration outpaces prior V8 R/T models and argues the Scat Pack may offer stronger performance value for a modest premium.
