Dodge is set to unveil its 2026 muscle car lineup at the Woodward Cruise event in Metro Detroit on Saturday, August 16, 2025. While specific details are thin in the release itself, this marks a major return for Dodge at the iconic car show, spotlighting their latest generation of performance vehicles.
To fill in some context on what to expect:
- 2026 Dodge Durango models are shifting entirely to V-8 power, with the GT moving from a V-6 to a 5.7-L Hemi V-8 (360 hp), the R/T upgrading to a 6.4-L 392 Hemi V-8 (475 hp), and the SRT Hellcat carrying on with a 710-hp supercharged V-8. Pricing starts around $44,490 for the GT and $81,990 for the Hellcat.
- The 2026 Dodge Charger “Sixpack” lineup revives internal-combustion muscle alongside the electric Daytona. Both R/T and Scat Pack trims feature twin-turbo “Sixpack” inline-6 engines (420 hp for R/T, 550 hp for Scat Pack), all-wheel drive with switchable rear-wheel-drive mode, burn-out-friendly Line Lock, Brembo brakes, and modern tech touches—starting at $51,990 for R/T and $56,990 for Scat Pack.
These vehicles likely represent the “new lineup” Dodge plans to showcase, including powerhouse SUVs like the Durango and performance sedans like the Charger.
