2026 Dodge Charger (Petrol) – The Return of Real Muscle, Headed for Right-Hand Drive
For everyone who wanted the next chapter of American muscle to run on petrol your moment’s here. After production wrapped for the Challenger & Charger (Dec 2023) and Camaro (Jan 2024), the segment hit pause. At Autogroup International, we’ve converted hundreds of Challengers, Chargers and Camaros to mirror-image right-hand drive and we’re ready to convert the very first 2026 Chargers to right-hand drive as soon as vehicles become available. The EV chapter moved the story along, but many buyers still wanted the feel, sound and response of petrol. The right-hand
drive 2026 Dodge Charger “Sixpack” delivers modern power, proper attitude, and the practicality to use it every day.
The heart of it Sixpack power, modern traction
The new Charger pairs compact, high-output turbo power with a driveline that works in the real world wet commutes, dusty roads, steep car-park ramps and everything in between. Here’s the core hardware that shapes how it drives.
- Engines (3.0-L twin-turbo I6 “Sixpack”): R/T 420 hp / 468 lb-ft (313 kW / 635 Nm); Scat Pack 550 hp / 531 lb-ft (410 kW / 720 Nm).
- Driveline: AWD standard, 8-speed automatic, front-axle disconnect for 100% rear-drive mode on demand.
- Go-fast tools: Line Lock and launch control.
- Targets: 0 100 km/h 4.0 s (Scat Pack), ¼-mile 12.2 s; top 285 km/h (Scat Pack) / 270 km/h (R/T).
Shapes that fit real life
Two body styles keep the soul intact while expanding what a muscle car can do. The design is new and modern, yet it channels the iconic muscle-car look and feel long bonnet, wide shoulders and a fast roofline a respectful, contemporary interpretation that’s still clearly a muscle car.
- Choices: 2-door coupe or 4-door hidden rear-hatch design for daily practicality without losing stance.
- Everyday usability: The rear-hatch back smart packaging offers 1,060 L (37.4 cu ft) with the rear seats folded.
- Styled for now: Taut surfaces, crisp lighting signatures and muscular proportions that look right in any city or on any highway.
- Liveable muscle: Space for luggage, camera rigs or a spare wheel set—useful from Sydney to Mumbai, Jakarta to Johannesburg.
Looks like muscle, lives like a modern car
This ICE Charger wears its identity: a solid bonnet (no EV pass-through), larger front intakes, a bonnet bulge and dual exhausts. Scat Pack adds serious braking and extra cooling. Inside is clean, purpose-built, modern and familiar: a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 centre display, a 10.25-inch digital cluster, and 64-colour “Attitude Adjustment” ambient lighting—tech you’ll actually use on long days behind the wheel.
Built for right-hand drive properly
Autogroup International will engineer and convert the 2026 Charger to mirror-image right-hand drive. That means dashboards, ergonomics and switchgear mirrored not just a steering swap. We retain and validate safety systems, driver-assistance features and drive modes so the car feels cohesive and factory-grade from the first kilometre. Our engineering teams are already working on it now – so we are ready to convert these modern muscle cars.
Country Compliance you can register on
We don’t just convert we make sure you can import, register and support your Charger across the countries we serve. Autogroup International runs the full compliance and homologation process—including ADR (Australia), SANS (South Africa) and equivalent approvals across India, Indonesia, United Kingdom and other right-hand-drive regions.

updates.

If timing matters, you can air-freight vehicles from the U.S. to our Sri Lanka engineering and production facility, trimming up to 8 weeks off the overall lead time. Many customers used this path when we launched the right-hand-drive HUMMER EV SUV the option is available here too.
Who this car is for
This is for drivers who want a real American right-hand-drive muscle car—that instant shove of twin-turbo torque, the honesty of dual exhausts, and the stance that makes you look back—with the technology that keeps it effortless in city traffic, on wet highways, in summer heat or at high altitude. If you’ve ever craved the feeling of classic muscle with the confidence of modern traction and electronics, the Sixpack nails it: AWD when you need it, rear-drive when you want it, and
hidden rear hatch design that turns weekends away and work weeks alike into easy decisions.
