SPOTTED: 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack SIXPACK Four-Door

This past weekend, I ran into something unexpected at my church—a rough-looking but unmistakable 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack SIXPACK four-door test car. Even though it was debadged and clearly worn from testing, the details gave it away.

The Scat Pack cues stood out immediately: a rear spoiler, Brembo® brakes with 6-piston calipers up front and 4-piston calipers in the back, and that familiar widebody stance. Painted in Triple Nickel and sitting on 20-inch x 10-inch Diamond Cut/Baltic wheels wrapped in 275/40ZR20 Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Seasons, this test car still carried the attitude of a proper muscle sedan.

Spotting the Differences – 

What really sets the new gas-powered Charger apart from the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona is its front fascia and hood. Instead of the sleeker aero design of the Daytona, this model featured a revised fascia with a “mail-slot” grille opening under the traditional grille and a bold “power dome” hood with a SIXPACK-branded center-mounted heat extractor.

Around back, the differences continued. This prototype wore “Charger” badging on the rear fascia, while the EVs carry “Daytona.” More importantly, the gas car sports dual exhaust tips that jut out in traditional muscle car fashion, compared to the Daytona’s flush-mounted Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system.

Under the Hood – 

The big story here is the engine. The 2026 Charger Scat Pack is powered by the twin-turbo 3.0-liter HURRICANE High-Output (H.O.) I6. This “SIXPACK H.O.” powerplant churns out 550 horsepower and 531 lb.-ft. of torque, good for a top speed of 177 mph. Dodge didn’t just slap on a couple turbos and call it a day. The motor features forged steel crank and rods, forged aluminum pistons with oil-jet cooling, plasma-coated cylinder bores, and a stout 9.5:1 compression ratio designed to run on premium fuel.

Feeding it all are twin Garrett GT2054 turbos spinning up to 185,000 RPM, built with Inconel turbines for heat resistance and arranged in a counter-rotating setup to improve response and reduce lag. Boost levels can climb as high as 30 psi, making this one serious six-cylinder.

Power is sent through Dodge’s new fourth-generation 880RE TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic, a Chrysler-built and ZF-engineered transmission designed to handle the high output of the HURRICANE I6. The Scat Pack comes standard with all-wheel drive (AWD), but with the press of a button it can switch to 100% rear-wheel drive (RWD) for a traditional muscle car experience. To back it up, Dodge equipped the car with serious track-ready tech, including launch control, line lock, and an AWD launch mode—making sure this four-door isn’t just about looks, but true performance.

Brakes, Suspension, Handling, & Drive Modes  – 

Stopping power comes courtesy of Brembo® brakes with six-piston front calipers and massive ventilated rotors, while the rear uses four-piston calipers. The suspension setup uses forged aluminum components, a multi-link front, and an independent four-link rear. Dodge says this gives the Charger more balance and sharper response compared to the outgoing generation.

One detail that stood out on this tester was its dual 100mm exhaust tips. Unlike the synthetic-sounding Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system on the EV models, this Charger relies on an active dual-mode exhaust. Depending on the drive mode, it can sound subdued for daily commuting or open up into a deep, throaty growl. Drivers can choose from Auto, Eco, Wet/Snow, Sport, or fully customizable settings that change throttle mapping, steering, traction, and exhaust tone.

Scat Pack vs. Scat Pack Plus – 

The teaser car I spotted was a non-Plus package Scat Pack, and that makes it easy to point out some key differences. .

On the outside, non-Plus cars can also be distinguished by the lack of a full-length LED daytime running light that spans under the grille and headlamps. On these standard models, the DRL remains tucked under the headlamps but does not stretch across the center section beneath the grille opening.

Inside, it carried the standard cloth and leatherette seats from the R/T model, rather than the high-backed fixed headrest performance seats that come with the Plus package

By contrast, the Scat Pack Plus adds a long list of creature comforts and premium touches. These include Attitude-Adjustment Lighting, automatic high-beam control, upgraded mirrors with memory, heating, lighting, and logo projection, a power tilt/telescope steering column, premium trim and accents, illuminated interior lighting in multiple zones, a power hatch, bi-function LED premium reflector headlamps, key-fob window drop, rain-sensing wipers, a surround-view camera system, a windshield wiper de-icer, and even a wireless charging pad.

Of course, all that comes at a cost—the Plus package adds $4,995 to the car’s already steep base price. For buyers, the choice comes down to whether they want the raw Scat Pack performance experience or a better-appointed version with more technology and comfort baked in.

Price & Availability – 

Dodge plans to bring the four-door Charger Scat Pack SIXPACK to market in the first half of 2026. Pricing will start at $56,995, plus $1,995 for destination, for a total of $58,990. That figure places the four-door, $2,000 higher than the two-door Charger Scat Pack SIXPACK.

Whether you’re team EV or team gas, the Charger name is alive, loud, and unapologetically Mopar.
