The 2026 Dodge Charger is not officially on sale in India, and Dodge has not announced an India launch date or an India price. The new-generation Charger is available internationally with two very different powertrain routes: the petrol SIXPACK straight-six and the all-electric Daytona. Any India price circulating online is therefore an estimate, not an official ex-showroom figure.
Is the 2026 Dodge Charger available in India?
No official Dodge sales network currently lists the 2026 Charger in India. Stellantis has not confirmed local bookings, homologation, deliveries or prices for it. A privately imported car may be possible through an independent importer, but the final cost depends on the vehicle specification, shipping, duties, registration, compliance and insurance.
This distinction matters: a converted US price is not an Indian ex-showroom price, and an imported car may cost substantially more than a simple currency conversion suggests.
2026 Dodge Charger price
In the United States, Dodge announced a starting MSRP of $49,995 for the 2026 Charger R/T, excluding taxes and fees. The petrol Scat Pack was announced at under $55,000. Dodge has not published an official India price for either model.
| Version | Powertrain | Official output | India status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Charger R/T | 3.0-litre twin-turbo SIXPACK straight-six | 420 hp | Not officially announced |
| Charger Scat Pack | 3.0-litre twin-turbo SIXPACK straight-six | 550 hp | Not officially announced |
| Charger Daytona Scat Pack | Dual-motor electric AWD | 670 hp | Not officially announced |
No V8 in the official 2026 lineup
The official 2026 range does not use the 5.7-litre V8 or the 3.6-litre V6 described in some older reports. The petrol R/T and Scat Pack use Dodge’s 3.0-litre twin-turbo SIXPACK inline-six. The Daytona Scat Pack is fully electric. This is the biggest technical change from older Charger generations.
Petrol Charger R/T and Scat Pack specifications
The Charger R/T uses the standard-output SIXPACK engine with 420 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque. Dodge gives it standard all-wheel drive. The higher-output Scat Pack produces 550 hp and 531 lb-ft, with a targeted 0–60 mph time of 3.9 seconds and a quoted top speed of 177 mph.
Both petrol versions use a twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six rather than a V8. The new Charger is offered with two or four doors, making it broader in appeal than the previous two-door-only muscle-car formula.
Electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack
The Daytona Scat Pack uses a 400-volt dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing up to 670 hp and 627 lb-ft. Dodge claims 0–60 mph in 3.3 seconds and an all-electric range of more than 270 miles under its quoted testing conditions. Range will vary with speed, temperature, driving style and wheel specification.
Design and interior
The new Charger keeps the wide stance and fastback profile associated with the name while adopting a cleaner front and a more modern cabin. Its digital instrument display, central touchscreen and performance-focused controls make it significantly more technology-heavy than earlier Chargers.
Should an Indian buyer import one?
The Charger makes sense only for a buyer who understands the costs and limitations of a private import. Before paying a deposit, confirm homologation, right-hand-drive implications, registration eligibility, charging compatibility for the Daytona, parts availability, warranty coverage and after-sales support in writing. Do not rely on an online estimated price as a final landed cost.
Verdict
The 2026 Charger is technically impressive, but it is not an officially priced Indian-market car. The R/T is the entry petrol choice, the Scat Pack is the quicker petrol model, and the Daytona Scat Pack delivers the headline electric performance. For India, the honest answer remains simple: there is no confirmed launch date and no official price.
