The 2026 Dodge Charger is back — and it's unlike anything that came before it. For 2026, Dodge offers the Charger in two powertrain families: the gas-powered SIXPACK with a 3.0L twin-turbo inline-six, and the all-electric Daytona with dual motors and up to 670 HP. Both are available in a 2-door coupe or 4-door sedan, both come with standard AWD, and both deliver performance that makes a serious statement. If you're looking for a Dodge Charger near Yakima or Sunnyside, WA, here's what you need to know. Standout Features 0-60 in 3.3 Seconds (Daytona) Power Shot mode unlocks 670 HP for 10 seconds — quicker than the old Hellcat. Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust The Daytona's patent-pending system produces a real exhaust sound experience through the body of the car — even without an engine. Drag, Drift & Launch Control Built-in drag mode, launch control, drift/donut mode, and line lock — the most track-ready Charger ever built. AWD Standard on Every Trim Gas or electric, 2-door or 4-door — every 2026 Charger comes with all-wheel drive as standard equipment.

The 2020 Chrysler Pacifica will be an active competitor to the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, and the Kia Sedona. The Pacifica will carry the same tried and true 3.6-Liter V6 engine. Production is estimated to begin in August of 2019, along with Chrysler’s 2020 Voyager. Formerly the Plymouth Voyager, the name is making a comeback. The Pacifica’s lower-end trim levels will evolve into the 2020 Chrysler Voyager, carrying the same 3.6L V6 engine found in the Pacifica. 2020 Dodge: In classic Dodge style, the muscle brand is continuing to beef up their garage. The 2020 Charger is becoming more fierce with it’s upper-end SRT Hellcat, adding a widebody package to the mix, creating a more aggressive look, and the capability to support wider tires. The widebody will come standard on the SRT Hellcat, and available on the Scat Pack. Dealerships are able to order these widebody models in the Fall of 2019. As America’s only 4-door muscle car, this beast can take the family for a spin. Before the Charger, came the Challenger.

The Gladiator is not the only model being revived by Jeep, remember the Wagoneer? That’s coming back, too. In history, this model has made it through many Jeep generations, from Willys-Overland to the now Chrysler – and the revival is set to compete will the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator.

Fun Facts about Dodge --  one of the top automakers in the world! The Dodge Brothers co-founded a bicycle shop in 1897, and later sold it to open a machine shop to make parts for the auto industry. Henry Ford offered stock in his company to pay for the Dodge brother's work. The Dodge brothers produced almost every part of Ford's Model T, aside from the tires and wooden seats. Dodge Brothers Motor Company was founded in 1913. Walter Chrysler bought the Dodge company for $170 million in 1928 after the Dodge duo passed away in 1920 with the flu & pneumonia. The Dodge Viper's first engine was borrowed from the RAM pick-up line, prior to creating a V10 engine -- which was designed by Lamborghini. Henry Ford II denied the idea of the Grand Caravan, created by Lee Iacocca and Hal Sperlich in the early 70's. Moving onto Chrysler, the duo eventually introduced the new Dodge Grand Caravan in 1983 - becoming one of the most popular minivans of all time. The Dodge Power Wagon was a very popular model, and eventually was created for both civilian and military use. The Power Wagon ended up being the inspiration for the Dodge RAM pick-up. From 1962-1981, the Dodge Logo was a shape consisted of three triangles arranged geometrically. The symbol's designer named this shape a "Fratzog". You may still see this shape hiding on your Dodge today.  ( Click here to check it out) The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has a horsepower of 707, making it one of the most power vehicles in American production history.
