2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack: Available with More Doors! The all-electric Dodge Charger has been around since 2024, but so far, it’s only been offered as a two-door coupe.

The 2026 Toyota RAV4 is 100% HybridThe 2026 RAV4, like Toyota’s latest Camry model, is exclusively a hybrid. However, unlike the Camry, the 2026 RAV4 gives buyers a choice when it comes to hybrid type. The new RAV4's standard powertrain consists of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine paired with Toyota’s updated hybrid tech. For the first time, the hybrid powertrain will be available with front-wheel drive (FWD); previous RAV4 hybrids were only offered with all-wheel drive (AWD).
