Close 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK Buyer's Guide: R/T vs Scat Pack
The 2026 Dodge Charger brings gas power back to the lineup with the new twin-turbo SIXPACK engine. For buyers around Illinois, this is the part that matters most. You can get the new Charger as an R/T or a Scat Pack, and both are available as a 2-door or 4-door.
The short version? The R/T is the entry point if you want the new-body Charger with serious power and a lower price. The Scat Pack is the step up if you want the full sledgehammer version. Both come with standard AWD, Scat Pack lets you turn that off if you want to have a little fun.
