Dodge’s “Entry-Level” 2026 Charger R/T Has No V8 and Costs $50K – It Still Runs a 13-Second Quarter Mile

by Jack Harmon

MotorWeek put the 2026 Dodge Charger R/T through its full road-test treatment, and the numbers it turned in are hard to ignore: a roughly $50,000 price tag, a 13-second quarter mile, and not a single cylinder of V8 under the hood.

The roughly $82,000 as-tested price sparked heavy debate in the comments, with some calling it out of reach for typical Mustang buyers and others — including a two-month owner — insisting it’s worth every penny. Additional comments praised the channel’s exhaust-note audio quality while criticizing the touchscreen-based climate controls in place of physical buttons.
