After bringing internal combustion power back to the Charger lineup, Dodge is now turning its attention to giving gas-powered Charger buyers more ways to personalize their cars.
Rather than focusing on performance upgrades for now, the brand is rolling out a set of new cosmetic options for Sixpack-powered models, designed to enhance visual appeal and lean into Dodge’s heritage.
The latest additions include a Satin Black hood graphic and the Fratzog dual stripes, both of which are aimed at owners who want their Charger to stand out without altering what’s under the hood.
The Fratzog stripes may already be familiar to fans of the all-electric Charger Daytona, where the design has been available for some time. Dodge is now extending this heritage-inspired option to combustion-powered Chargers as well.
The Fratzog name dates back to the 1960s and appeared on classic models like the Dodge Dart, making it a nostalgic nod for longtime enthusiasts. The stripes feature red accent detailing and a repeating Fratzog logo motif, and they can be specified on Chargers with either a glass or steel roof.
The Satin Black hood graphic takes a more subtle approach, covering only part of the hood. According to Dodge, this partial application helps emphasize the Charger’s sculpted power dome while creating a strong contrast against the body color.
Together, the hood graphic and stripe options are intended to highlight the Charger’s aggressive styling without straying into over-the-top territory.
Both of these appearance upgrades are available on Sixpack-powered Chargers, which are equipped with the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged Hurricane inline-six engine.
In the Charger R/T, this engine produces 420 horsepower and is tuned with an emphasis on efficiency, while the Charger Scat Pack pushes output to 550 horsepower for buyers looking for a more performance-oriented setup. While these new options don’t add any extra power, they give owners more freedom to tailor the car’s look to their taste.
For now, the Charger lineup still lacks a V8 option, even as the Hemi engine makes its way back into other models such as the Ram 1500 TRX. That leaves the Ford Mustang as the only muscle car currently offered with a V8, at least until Dodge makes further changes to its portfolio.
Pricing for the new cosmetic features starts at $395 for the Satin Black hood graphic and $1,695 for the Fratzog dual stripes. Dodge CEO Matt McAlear has emphasized that these additions are only the beginning, stating that more customization options are on the way for the Sixpack-powered Charger.
Upcoming Mopar accessories are expected to include items such as bodyside graphics, a performance cat-back exhaust kit, and bright pedal covers.
For buyers considering a new Charger, the gas-powered range starts with the R/T at $49,995 before destination fees, while the more powerful Scat Pack begins at $54,995. At the higher end, the all-electric Charger Daytona, which received a mixed response when it debuted in 2024, carries a starting price of $60,690.
