Summary
Car and Driver measured the 2026 Dodge Charger R/T at 4,921 pounds—25 pounds heavier than a tested Mazda CX-90—and found the SUV also edged it on top speed, 127 mph to 125 mph.
The surprise came despite a big power gap: the Charger’s 420-hp twin-turbo six hit 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, while the 280-hp CX-90 needed 6.9 seconds.
Dodge’s loss on maximum speed appears tied to an electronic limiter, making the Mazda’s 2-mph advantage more technical than practical for U.S. drivers.
Manufacturer figures tell a different weight story—Dodge lists the Charger at 4,741 pounds and Mazda the CX-90 at 4,846—but Car and Driver’s same-team testing made the comparison directly comparable.
