2026 Dodge Charger: Gas, Electric, 2 Doors or 4

Blue and red Dodge Charger vehicles parked side by side near a waterfront bridge.

The 2026 Dodge Charger gives buyers more decisions to make than muscle cars traditionally require. There are gas and electric powertrains, outputs ranging from 420 hp to 670 hp, and a choice of 2 or 4 doors across the lineup. Every version also gets standard AWD. For drivers around Edinboro, Pennsylvania, that means the Charger can be configured as a practical 4-door with serious performance or a 2-door that sticks closer to the traditional muscle-car shape. And then you have got to decide if you want petrol or electricity providing the shove.

R/T Starts at a Rather Healthy 420 hp

The gas-powered Charger R/T uses a 3.0L SIXPACK S.O. Twin-Turbo Straight-6 producing 420 hp and 468 lbs. ft. of torque. An 8-speed automatic handles the gears. Dodge quotes 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds, a 12.9-second quarter-mile, and a 168-mph top speed. Not exactly modest figures for the starting point. AWD is standard, but RWD mode can send 100% of the torque to the rear wheels. That provides AWD traction when conditions call for it without permanently removing the rear-drive character people expect from a Charger.

Scat Pack Turns Things Up to 550 hp

The Charger Scat Pack gets the H.O. version of the 3.0L SIXPACK Twin-Turbo Straight-6, producing 550 hp and 531 lbs. ft. of torque. That drops the claimed 0-60 mph time to 3.9 seconds. The quarter-mile takes 12.2 seconds, and top speed rises to 177 mph. There’s more than extra power here. Launch Control, Line Lock, active dual-mode exhaust, performance suspension, Brembo® 6-piston fixed front brake calipers, and 20-by-10-inch wheels with 275/40ZR20 tires are included. Auto, Eco, Wet/Snow, Sport, and Custom drive modes let drivers adjust how the car behaves. Scat Pack Plus retains the 550-hp powertrain while adding equipment including a 16-inch digital driver display, Head-Up Display, navigation, wireless phone charging, ventilated front seats, Surround View Camera, and Attitude Adjustment interior lighting.

Daytona Scat Pack Does It with Electricity

Then things get electric. The Charger Daytona Scat Pack uses a 400-volt dual-motor electric AWD system producing 670 hp and 627 lbs. ft. of torque. Dodge quotes 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds, and a mechanical limited-slip rear differential helps manage all that output. Track and Drag modes join Drift/Donut Mode, Launch Control, and battery race-prep functions. PowerShot can provide an additional 40 hp for 10 seconds. And because a silent Charger would apparently be too strange, the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust gives the Daytona its distinctive exterior sound. Inside are a 12.3-inch center touchscreen, 16-inch digital instrument cluster, Performance Pages, and a 9-speaker Alpine® audio system.

The Practical Bit Is Surprisingly Practical

R/T, Scat Pack, and Daytona Scat Pack models can all be ordered with 2 or 4 doors. That means choosing the more practical body style doesn’t require abandoning the powertrain you wanted. There’s also a hidden hatch rather than a conventional trunk. Fold the rear seats and cargo capacity reaches up to 37.4 cu. ft. It’s an unusual combination: muscle-car proportions with enough cargo flexibility to make the Charger considerably easier to live with when nobody is measuring quarter-mile times.

Three Very Different Ways to Go Fast

The R/T starts the range with 420 hp and a gas-powered SIXPACK engine. Scat Pack increases that to 550 hp and adds substantial performance hardware. Daytona Scat Pack goes electric and raises output again to 670 hp. Scat Pack and Daytona Scat Pack buyers also receive a 1-day performance-driving experience at Radford Racing School. For Edinboro drivers, the difficult part may simply be choosing one. Browse the available new Charger inventory at Cunningham Chrysler of Edinboro, compare 2-door and 4-door configurations, and schedule your 2026 Dodge Charger test drive online once you’ve decided which kind of fast makes the most sense.

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee Turbo-Hybrid took no prisoners with its upgrades.

Whether you're commuting through Edinboro, PA or tackling weekend trails, understanding the 2026 Jeep Cherokee trim levels helps you make a confident decision before you ever set foot on the lot. Cherokee and Laredo: A Seriously Strong Start The introductory Cherokee and Laredo trims fit drivers who want Cherokee capability without paying for features they may not use. Like all trims, they boast the new Turbo-Hybrid engine, giving you over 500 miles on a single tank—that’s up to 37 MPG combined. With 210 hp, it can tow an Unsurpassed-in-Class 3,500 lbs., and the standard Active Drive® I 4x4 system will urge you to hitch up and hit the trail. Both trims include keyless entry, a rearview camera, a striking 12.3” touchscreen infotainment system, and a long list of driver-assistance features, while the Laredo adds heated front seats for cold winter mornings. If you’re driving around Eerie or Meadville and want dependable transportation with off-road readiness built in, these lower trims deliver real value. Limited: Everyday Luxury The Limited trim is where the 2026 Jeep Cherokee becomes noticeably upscale. Leather-trimmed seating, a heated steering wheel, remote start, and rain-sensing wipers cover all indulgences, big and small. The Jeep Cherokee Limited vs. Overland comparison often starts here, as the Limited already covers most of what daily drivers are looking for in a well-equipped SUV. Overland: The Top of the 2026 Cherokee Lineup The Overland is the flagship trim for the 2026 Jeep Cherokee, and it shows. This trim unlocks exclusive features, including a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, built-in GPS navigation, wireless charging pads, and a 9-speaker Alpine® audio system. Touches like signature LED lighting and a hands-free power liftgate are some of the tiny conveniences and details that make it feel refined and exclusive. Expect the most advanced driver assistance features, available features including ventilated front seats, and more extensive options that other trims don’t have access to.

Drivers in Edinboro, Meadville, and Erie will love features across all trims, like that incredible fuel efficiency, massive touchscreen, and standard 4WD. Every driver has different needs, and the Cherokee lineup is built to accommodate that variety. If budget is the primary concern, the namesake Cherokee or Laredo make sense. If you want comfort and style without going all-in, the Limited hits a strong balance. And if you want everything the Cherokee has to offer, the Overland delivers a well-rounded package from top to bottom. Take the time to walk through each trim in person so you can feel the difference firsthand. The right Cherokee is the one that fits both your lifestyle and your budget, and they’re all available to experience at Cunningham Chrysler of Edinboro, PA.

2026 Dodge Durango Trims: From Family SUV to 710-hp Hellcat

Most 3-row SUV ranges progress predictably. You start with the sensible one, add nicer seats and larger wheels, then finish with something suitably luxurious. The 2026 Dodge Durango has other ideas. It starts with a perfectly useful 295 hp V6 and ends with a supercharged 710 hp SRT® Hellcat. Somewhere between those extremes are two HEMI® V8s, serious towing capability, seating for up to 7 passengers, and as much as 85.1 cu. ft. of cargo space. For families around Edinboro, Pennsylvania, the trick is deciding exactly how much engine your family SUV needs. GT Keeps Things Sensible The Durango GT uses a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 producing 295 hp and 260 lbs. ft. of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission. Properly equipped, it can tow up to 6,200 lbs. It also comes ready for ordinary family life with 7-passenger seating, heated front seats, a 10.1-inch Uconnect® 5 touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, 6-speaker Alpine® audio, and Blind Spot Monitoring. GT Plus adds Nappa leather seating, a power sunroof, 20-inch wheels, and a 9-speaker Alpine® system. In other words, you can have a well-equipped Durango without immediately wandering into V8 territory. GT HEMI® Is Where the V8 Arrives The GT changes the character considerably with a 5.7L HEMI® V8 producing 360 hp and 390 lbs. ft. of torque. AWD is standard, along with performance steering and suspension, a performance hood, 20-inch wheels, wireless phone charging, Dodge Performance Pages, and a 9-speaker Alpine® audio system with a subwoofer. The available Tow N Go Package raises maximum towing capacity to 8,700 lbs. and adds Bilstein® active damping, an electronic limited-slip rear axle, Brembo® brakes, performance exhaust, 20-by-10-inch wheels, 295-width tires, and configurable Sport, Track, Tow, and Snow drive modes. It’s still a 3-row SUV. It just happens to take towing and performance rather seriously. R/T 392 Brings the Big HEMI® The R/T 392 isn’t simply an R/T with more luxury equipment. Its defining upgrade is the 6.4L HEMI® V8. Output jumps to 475 hp and 470 lbs. ft. of torque, helping the Durango reach 60 mph in a claimed 4.4 seconds. Maximum available towing capacity remains 8,700 lbs. when properly equipped. That puts the R/T 392 in an interesting position. It delivers considerably more performance than the 5.7L R/T without making the enormous leap to the supercharged Hellcat. SRT® Hellcat Is the Unreasonable One And then there’s the SRT® Hellcat. Its Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 produces 710 hp and 645 lbs. ft. of torque. AWD and 20-by-10-inch wheels help manage the output, while the basic Durango formula remains intact: passengers, cargo, towing, and a frankly unnecessary amount of horsepower. Unnecessary, of course, can also be rather entertaining. Hellcat buyers receive a 1-day performance-driving experience at Radford Racing School, providing somewhere considerably more appropriate than the school-run queue to explore what 710 hp feels like. Jailbreak Lets You Make It Yours SRT® Hellcat Jailbreak retains the same 710 hp but opens up considerably more factory customization. Buyers can choose among multiple exterior colors, 6 wheel designs, stripes, badge finishes, 4 Brembo® brake-caliper colors, interior colors and seating configurations, and even different seat-belt colors. An available Premium Group adds a 19-speaker Harman Kardon® audio system along with additional driver-assistance technology. The performance doesn’t change. The personality certainly can. How Much Durango Do You Need? The 2026 Dodge Durango lineup covers an enormous amount of ground. GT provides 295 hp and straightforward 7-passenger utility. GT HEMI® adds the 360 hp HEMI® V8. R/T 392 turns that up to 475 hp, while SRT® Hellcat and Jailbreak models deliver an extraordinary 710 hp. Drivers around Edinboro can browse available new Durango inventory at Cunningham Chrysler of Edinboro, compare trims and equipment, and find the version that suits their family—or their appetite for horsepower.

Where’s the Cold Air? An AC Troubleshooting Summer Guide for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM Owners 

August in Edinboro, PA, can bring some serious heat, and the last thing you want is to hop into your vehicle and realize your AC isn’t blowing cold air. Whether you drive a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM, a struggling air conditioning system is one of the most common warm-weather complaints—and it’s usually something that can be diagnosed and resolved quickly with the right attention. Why Your Car AC Stops Blowing Cold in August Summer heat puts extra strain on your vehicle's AC system. When your AC stops blowing cold, the most common culprit is low refrigerant. Over time, refrigerant can slowly leak from the system, reducing its ability to cool the cabin effectively. This is especially noticeable during August when outside temperatures peak and your system is working at maximum capacity. Other causes include a failing compressor, a clogged cabin air filter, or a condenser that has been blocked by road debris. Each of these issues can reduce airflow or prevent the refrigerant from cycling properly, leaving you with warm or lukewarm air coming through the vents. Common Signs Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM’s AC Needs Service Your vehicle will usually give you a few warning signs before the AC stops working completely. It starts with the air not being as strong or cold as strongly as it used to be, or if the air feels slightly warm even when set to the lowest temperature. Those are early indicators that service is needed. Unusual noises when the AC kicks on, a musty smell from the vents, or visible moisture inside the cabin can also point to an issue. For RAM truck owners, the high-output demands of hauling or towing in August can accelerate wear on AC components, making routine checks even more important. What Happens During a Professional AC Inspection A qualified technician will check several components when diagnosing why your car AC isn’t blowing cold. They’ll inspect refrigerant levels, the compressor clutch, the evaporator, the condenser, and all related hoses and fittings. If a refrigerant recharge is needed, the system will be evacuated, checked for leaks, and refilled to the manufacturer's specification. Jeep RAM AC service in Edinboro, PA, also includes a review of electrical connections and pressure readings to make sure everything is operating within normal range. Skipping this step and simply adding refrigerant without checking for a leak can lead to the same problem returning within weeks. How to Keep Your AC Running Well All Summer Preventive care goes a long way when it comes to your vehicle's air conditioning system. Replacing your cabin air filter at the recommended interval helps maintain proper airflow and keeps contaminants from building up inside the system. Running your AC on a regular basis, even on cooler days, also helps keep the compressor seals lubricated and the system functioning properly. Parking in the shade when possible and using a sunshade can reduce how hard your system has to work when you first start the vehicle. If your car AC isn’t doing its job despite these efforts, it is time to schedule a professional inspection before the problem gets worse. Get Your AC Checked Before the Heat Gets Worse August is not the month to put off AC repairs, and September usually brings some unexpected heat too. Driving without reliable cooling is uncomfortable, anger-inducing, and in extreme heat, can become a safety concern. If you’re dealing with your vehicle’s AC not blowing cold, don’t wait for the situation to worsen. AC service is available for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM vehicles at Cunningham Chrysler, your trusted local service center. Bring your vehicle in for a thorough inspection and get back to enjoying a cool, comfortable drive no matter how high the temperature climbs.
