A Historic Win for Dodge

At the 2026 North American Car, Truck and Utility Vehicle of the Year™ (NACTOY) Awards, held alongside the Detroit Auto Show on January 14, 2026, the Dodge Charger was selected from a competitive field of finalists and judged the best new car of the year by a panel of 50 respected automotive journalists from the U.S. and Canada. These judges evaluate vehicles on rigorous criteria including innovation, design, safety, performance, technology, driver satisfaction, user experience and value — making this award one of the most prestigious in the industry.

The Charger’s victory makes a bold statement: traditional muscle and modern performance can coexist brilliantly. Jurors praised the Charger’s well-rounded personality, combining true muscle-car heritage with practical everyday usability. One juror described it as a “tour de force” that returns the brand to its performance roots while offering all-season capability and innovative features worthy of modern drivers.
