2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK: Year-Round Muscle Performance for Ontario Enthusiasts

Ontario performance drivers have historically faced a choice: park the muscle car for winter or risk it on snow and ice. The 2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK eliminates that compromise. With standard all-wheel drive and a rear-drive mode for warm-weather fun, this muscle car will deliver 550 horsepower through all four seasons in Orillia and across Ontario.

Powered by the 3.0L twin-turbo Hurricane I-6 engine producing 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft of torque, the Charger SIXPACK combines modern turbocharged performance with the traction needed for year-round driving. For enthusiasts who want muscle car thrills without seasonal garage time, this is how Dodge answers.

Comparing SIXPACK Trims

Both trims include standard AWD, rear-wheel-drive capability, mechanical limited slip differential, and the 880RE TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission with multi-disc wet clutch system.

How AWD Works in a Muscle Car

The Charger SIXPACK's AWD system adapts to driving conditions and driver preference. Here's how it functions:

Standard AWD Operation:
The system monitors wheel speed, throttle input, and road conditions. When traction is optimal, power flows primarily to the rear wheels. When sensors detect slip, the front axle engages automatically. A front-axle disconnect feature improves fuel economy by reducing driveline friction when AWD isn't needed.

Rear-Wheel-Drive Mode:
Push a button, and the multi-disc wet clutch opens completely. The system sends 100% of torque to the rear wheels. This enables classic muscle car driving dynamics: drifts, donuts, and tire-smoking acceleration. Electronic Stability Control can be disabled for maximum freedom.

Wet/Snow Mode:
In low-grip conditions, this drive mode locks torque distribution to 50/50 front-to-rear. Shift schedules soften, throttle response gentles, and exhaust valves close for quieter operation. This mode handles Ontario's winter roads and spring rain showers.

Why Twin-Turbo Inline-Six Over V8

The Hurricane I-6 engine architecture delivers specific advantages for year-round performance:

Low-End Response:
Twin counter-rotating turbochargers spin up quickly. At 2,500 rpm, the engine already produces 88% of peak torque. This means strong acceleration from low speeds, useful when merging onto Highway 11 or passing on two-lane cottage roads.

Sustained Power:
From 3,000 to 6,000 rpm, the Hurricane maintains more than 90% of peak torque. Traditional naturally aspirated engines show more power falloff at high rpm. The turbo setup keeps pulling through the entire rev range.

Turbine Technology:
The turbine material uses Inconel 100, an aerospace-grade alloy. This metal withstands extreme heat and stress cycles. In Ontario's temperature extremes, from -30°C winter mornings to hot summer days, the turbochargers maintain consistent performance.

Efficiency Features:
Direct fuel injection operates at 5,075 psi (350 bar). Centrally mounted injectors provide precise fuel delivery. Plasma-coated cylinder bores reduce friction. These features help the twin-turbo six deliver V8-level power with improved efficiency.

Performance Features That Matter

Beyond raw horsepower numbers, the Charger SIXPACK includes systems designed for serious driving:

Line Lock (Scat Pack):
Lock the front brakes electronically while the AWD transfer case disconnects. The rear wheels spin freely. This warms and cleans tires before drag strip launches or simply creates tire smoke on demand.

Launch Control (Scat Pack):
Set your preferred launch RPM through the vehicle's race options. Hold the brake while the throttle stays wide open. The turbos build boost pressure. Release the brake, and the powertrain control module precisely manages torque across all four wheels for maximum traction.

Five Drive Modes:

• Auto: Balanced for daily driving, smooth power delivery
• Eco: Prioritizes efficiency, biases power to rear wheels, early upshifts
• Wet/Snow: 50/50 torque split, reduced throttle response, softer shifts
• Sport: Aggressive shift patterns, increased steering feedback, full exhaust volume
• Custom: Configure propulsion, paddle behaviour, traction settings, steering weight

Brake-by-Wire System:
The eBoost intelligent braking system uses a central module to control deceleration. Response adjusts based on drive mode. This prevents heat-related fade and reduces pad wear compared to traditional hydraulic systems.
