In a surprising twist, Dodge has announced that the iconic Charger will not only continue with an internal combustion engine but will also receive a powerful 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane straight-six engine in 2025. The top-of-the-line Dodge Charger Sixpack H.O. will offer an impressive 550 horsepower, surpassing the previous V-8 engines.

According to Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis, the new Hurricane engine-powered Charger models will provide enthusiasts with a gas option that outperforms the existing V-8 engines in terms of horsepower and torque. The upcoming Charger will feature all-wheel drive as standard, ride on the STLA Large platform for improved rigidity, and offer rear-wheel power distribution in driving modes.

While specific details about performance metrics and pricing are limited at this time, Dodge has confirmed that the new Charger lineup will include both electric and gas-powered variants. Production is set to begin in early 2025, with the electric models launching first. All Chargers will be manufactured at Dodge's Windsor, Ontario assembly plant.
