- Dodge adds a new blue-gray Sub-Zero paint option.
- The $795 color shifts tone depending on sunlight.
- It reflects Stellantis’ push for more Charger options.
Dodge might not have ended up with the initial launch it hoped for with the Charger, but the car is now gaining steam. The Sixpack-powered version is genuinely fun to drive. Dodge is also working on several additional variants right now. In the meantime, there’s a smaller update: a new color called Sub-Zero joins the lineup for the 2026 model. It can even change color the way Dodge changes its product plans.
Importantly, the paint is a $795 option and offers buyers a darker blue-gray shade. In direct sunlight, brighter blue tones show up. It’s a nice shift both literally and figuratively to the Charger paint pallet lineup and joins longtime options like After Dark, Bludicrous, Destroyer Grey, Diamond Black, Green Machine, Peel Out, Redeye, Triple Nickel, and White Knuckle.

“The roll-out of customization options continues to the delight of the brotherhood. An ice-cold paint to go with their ICE-powered all-wheel-drive muscle car,” said Matt McAlear, Dodge CEO. “Sub-Zero is the next in line of options available for the entire Charger lineup, from the 420-horsepower SIXPACK-powered Charger R/T and the 550-horsepower SIXPACK-powered Scat Pack to the 670-horsepower Charger Daytona Scat Pack.”
He’s referring in part to several new available options to customize the Charger. Buyers can also choose a variety of styling options, including Fratzog logo-patterned dual stripes with red accents, a Satin Black hood graphic for SIXPACK models, and a Gloss Black hood for the electric Charger Daytona Scat Pack. Mopar accessories add even more ways to tweak the car’s look, including additional bodyside graphics and other visual upgrades.
Gas models include the 420-hp (313 kW) Charger R/T and the 550-hp (410 kW) Charger Scat Pack, both powered by Dodge’s twin-turbo 3.0-liter Hurricane “SIXPACK” inline-six engines.
On the electric side sits the 670-hp (500 kW) Charger Daytona Scat Pack, which Dodge calls the quickest and most powerful muscle car it has ever produced. Then again, it has only built one so far, but I digress. Regardless of powertrain, every Charger now comes with standard all-wheel drive, and buyers can choose either two-door coupe or four-door sedan body styles.
