The powertrains can be tailored to the driver's preferences via the available drive modes, Auto, Eco, Sport, Wet/Snow and Custom for SIXPACK-powered models and Auto, Eco, Sport, Track, Drag, Wet/Snow and Custom for the Charger Daytona Scat Pack.In SIXPACK-powered Charger models, a multi-disc wet clutch transfer case continuously adjusts in milliseconds the level of torque flowing to the front and rear axles. Within Sport Mode, the driver can command rear-wheel-drive (RWD) mode, sending 100% of the torque to the rear axle, which has a standard mechanical limited slip differential.With front and rear electric drive modules (EDMs), the Charger Daytona Scat Pack's powertrain control module continuously manages the torque output at each axle. The rear EDM is fitted with a mechanical limited slip differential to improve traction in low-grip situations. The Drift/Donut mode, unique to the Charger Daytona Scat Pack, puts the drivetrain into a rear-drive setup with varying amounts of traction control intervention.All Charger models offer Wet/Snow mode. When engaged, Wet/Snow mode equalizes the torque output at each axle for maximum traction and stability, aided by the traction control and Electronic Stability Control systems. For low-grip surfaces, Wet/Snow Mode optimizes traction by locking the torque split to a balanced 50/50 front-to-rear distribution. Shift schedules remain soft and early to limit torque buildup, while reduced steering effort improves control in slippery conditions.Custom mode in the Dodge Charger lets drivers configure their car the way they want it. From propulsion characteristics and paddle shifter behavior to traction settings and steering weight, nearly every aspect of performance can be tailored to individual preference. Torque percentage splits between the front and rear axles for each Charger Drive Mode include Auto/Eco Mode (40% front/60% rear); Wet/Snow (50/50); Sport Mode (30/70) and RWD/Line Lock (0/100).Dodge Durango: V-8 Power With AWD All the Time Full-time, all-wheel drive in the 2026 Dodge Durango is standard on all HEMI® V-8 engine-powered models, including the GT HEMI AWD, Durango SRT Hellcat and Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak, and optional on the Durango GT V-6. Just as the Durango can tackle a wide range of duties, from daily runner to all-out performance in the SRT Hellcat, so too can its drivetrains.Customers who opt for the Pentastar V-6 with AWD enjoy a hands-free, full-time AWD system that sends 50% of the available torque to each axle for balanced handling and traction.All-wheel drive in a Durango equipped with the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 features an active system that continuously varies the torque split between the front and rear axles based on performance driving demands.Durango models featuring the Tow N Go package are fitted with a two-speed, electrically shifted transfer case that enables the driver to lock in a low range with a ratio of 2.72, making it easier to bring along the big toys with best-in-class towing capacity of 8,700 pounds.An electronic limited slip differential is featured on Durango GT AWD models equipped with Tow N Go and comes standard on Durango SRT models.The SRT Hellcat Durango with the 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8 carries a robust AWD system that can handle the demands of the Hellcat engine and varies the torque split in conjunction with drive modes: Auto (40% front/60% rear); Snow and Tow (50/50); Sport (35/65) and Track (30/70).2026 Dodge AWD Lineup (all prices exclude tax, titles and fees) The AWD-equipped 2026 Dodge performance vehicle lineup includes:Dodge Charger<ul type="disc"><li>$49,995: 420-horsepower, SIXPACK-powered, two-door Charger R/T</li><li>$51,995: 420-horsepower, SIXPACK-powered, four-door Charger R/T</li><li>$54,995: 550-horsepower, SIXPACK-powered, two-door Charger Scat Pack</li><li>$56,995: 550-horsepower, SIXPACK-powered, four-door Charger Scat Pack</li><li>$59,995: 670-horsepower, two-door Charger Daytona Scat Pack</li><li>$61,995: 670-horsepower, four-door Charger Daytona Scat Pack</li></ul>Dodge Durango <ul type="disc"><li>$40,995: 295-horsepower V-6 engine Durango GT (with AWD)</li><li>$43,675: 360-horsepower Durango GT HEMI AWD</li><li>$79,995: 710-horsepower Durango SRT Hellcat</li></ul>Dodge For 112 years, the Dodge brand has carried on the spirit of brothers John and Horace Dodge.
