The 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack, fueled by the ferocious SIXPACK engine, has roared to victory at the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) Texas Auto Roundup, clinching Performance Vehicle of Texas and Best Interior honors. This muscle car sensation blends blistering acceleration, bold character, and surprising daily drivability, earning rave reviews from automotive journalists.
Dual Wins Highlight Power and Polish
TAWA members celebrated the Charger’s seamless fusion of raw muscle heritage with modern refinements. The Scat Pack’s high-output SIXPACK twin-turbo inline-six pumps out 550 horsepower and 531 lb.-ft. of torque, rocketing from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and conquering the quarter-mile in 12.2 seconds at a top speed of 177 mph. Its driver-centric cockpit, inspired by the iconic 1968 Charger, features premium Nappa leather options in Black or Demonic Red, Attitude Adjustment lighting with 64 customizable colors, and best-in-class passenger space via a clever “hidden hatch” design.
Interior Excellence Steals the Show
The award-winning cabin stands out with a 10.25-inch digital cluster (16-inch on Plus trims) and a 12.3-inch touchscreen angled toward the driver for intuitive control. High-backed seats with unique pass-throughs and textured linework evoke Dodge’s legendary attitude while delivering everyday comfort. Available in two- or four-door configurations with standard all-wheel drive, the Scat Pack redefines performance sedan versatility.
Charger Lineup Racks Up Accolades
The redesigned multi-energy Charger family continues its award sweep, including North American Car of the Year, Detroit Free Press Car of the Year, and MotorWeek’s Best Sport Coupe. From the 420-hp R/T to the electric 670-hp Daytona Scat Pack, every model offers AWD and coupe or sedan body styles. Orders are open now at Dodge.com, with buyers of select high-performance variants getting a day at Radford Racing School.
Dodge’s Muscle Legacy Charges Forward
