Dodge Returns Power Dollars and Teases New High‑Output Sixpack Charger

Cash incentives combined with a twin‑turbo inline‑six signal a shift toward high‑output turbocharged power to boost Charger sales.

Overview

  • Dodge has reintroduced a retail‑only Power Dollars program that pays $10 per horsepower on eligible 2026 SIXPACK Chargers, producing advertised allowances of $4,200 for the 420 hp R/T and $5,500 for the 550 hp Scat Pack.
  • The company confirmed it will expand the Charger Sixpack family with a more powerful variant set to debut in August and reported to use a twin‑turbo 3.0‑liter Hurricane inline‑six rather than a supercharged 6.2‑liter Hemi.
  • Media reports quote preliminary performance figures for the new variant at about 550 hp, 531 lb‑ft of torque, a 0–60 mph near 3.9 seconds and a quarter‑mile near 12.2 seconds, but full official specifications and final pricing remain unconfirmed.
  • The 2026 Charger lineup centers on SIXPACK Hurricane engines up to 550 hp and comes standard with all‑wheel drive that can be switched to rear‑wheel drive; purchase of select SIXPACK models includes a day of instruction at Radford Racing School.
  • Dodge is promoting the moves as part of a summer 60th‑anniversary Charger tour to showcase the lineage and upcoming reveals, and the combination of cash allowances and new product aims to make high performance more attainable for buyers.
