KBB Editors' Overview

Following a brief hiatus after the discontinuation of the previous generation of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/dodge/charger/2023/">Dodge Charger in 2023</a>, a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/report-dodge-speeding-gas-powered-charger-plan/">gas engine option has returned</a> to the Dodge Charger in 2026. After spending a couple of years exclusively available as the Charger Daytona EV (which we <a href="https://www.kbb.com/dodge/charger-daytona/">review separately</a>), a more affordable Charger with a 6-cylinder gas engine should have more mainstream appeal. Since it&#8217;s available in both 2-door coupe and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/dodge-debuts-4-door-charger/">4-door sedan</a> body styles, it effectively replaces both the Charger and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/dodge/challenger/">Challenger</a> of yore. All-wheel drive (AWD) is standard, two outputs are available, and it has interior space you can actually use, making this a practical muscle car.
<h3>On-Sale Date</h3>
We expect the gas-powered 2026 Dodge Charger to arrive in U.S. dealerships in early 2026. It will be offered alongside the Dodge Charger Daytona EV.
<h3>Engine and Transmission</h3>
The 2026 Dodge Charger is powered by the Hurricane 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine, available with a standard output and a high output. Although it doesn’t have the same sound or grit as the Hemi V8 options in the old Charger, we’ve been impressed with the Hurricane engine in <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ram/">Ram</a> trucks and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/">Jeep</a> SUVs.
The entry-level R/T trim produces 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque, while the high-output Scat Pack version makes 550 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque. Those are better performance specs than the old Charger R/T and Charger Scat Pack, respectively. All of the above use an 8-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is standard across the board. For a purer muscle car experience, the Charger has on-demand rear-wheel drive (RWD), bringing the tire-smoking fun.

Optional Equipment

2026 Dodge Charger Pricing

Pricing - Dynamic

The 2026 Dodge Charger starts at $51,990 for the base R/T trim with the two-door coupe body. The high-performance Scat Pack begins at $56,990. The four-door sedan body is a $2,000 option for both trims.

<tr>
<td style="width: 50%;">Charger Scat Pack</td>
<td style="width: 50%;">$56,990</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Pricing - Static

If the pricing of the gas-powered Charger seems a little steep, it actually isn&#8217;t far off from the V8-powered 2023 Dodge Charger R/T, which had a lower output and no all-wheel drive option. Here&#8217;s hoping Dodge comes up with a milder and more affordable GT or SXT variant. In the small world of American muscle cars, the Charger is priced similarly to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/mustang/">Ford Mustang</a> GT, which keeps the V8 faith.
Before buying a Charger, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Dodge Charger resale value historically varies, with higher-performance variants holding their value better than the more mainstream versions. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The all-electric 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE midsize luxury sedan is plush and hushed, with plenty of tech. Maximum range is 308 miles.

<ul>
<li>Uncertain future</li>
<li>Small trunk</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

New for 2026, the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) EQE 320 enjoys 315 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque from a single electric motor. It will accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds &#8212; somewhat brisk and a couple of tenths quicker than last year’s EQE 350.
To compare, the entry-level Audi A6 Sportback e-tron has 375 hp and can reach 60 mph in 5.2 seconds, while the 335-hp BMW i5 eDrive40 can do the same sprint in 5.7 seconds.
Funnily enough, the same 315 hp/417 lb-ft output is achieved by the EQE 320 4Matic with all-wheel drive (AWD) and two electric motors. The extra traction helps this car sprint to 60 mph 0.3 of a second faster than its stablemate.
We’ll go into more depth when we get to drive these cars. As for ride quality, we always like luxuriating in the smooth ride of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and often marvel at how utterly unflustered they can be. The EQE sedan certainly feels this way. And electric power complements the calmness perfectly, thanks to its virtually silent operation. The floor-mounted battery, meanwhile, helps create a low center of gravity, resulting in a pleasant amount of agility and plenty of stability. Optional rear-wheel steering enhances that stability on the highway, adds greater poise on twisting roads, and brings the tight turning radius of a much smaller car &#8212; which is a boon around town.
The high-performance <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-amg-eqe/">AMG EQE sedan</a> has its own review. So does the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-eq-eqe-suv/">EQE SUV</a>.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
Maximum range is 308 miles, achieved by the rear-drive EQE 320. That pretty much matches the BMW i5’s best, although both are eclipsed by the 392 miles of the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron.
It takes 32 minutes to recharge the battery from 10% to 80% with a DC fast charger. That’s similar to the BMW i5, and about 10 minutes longer than the best time of the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron.
Mercedes-Benz has yet to announce the all-wheel-drive 2026 EQE 320 4Matic’s range.

Aerodynamic Exterior

Although it’s a midsize luxury sedan, the EQE rides on a different platform than that of the combustion-powered E-Class. The EQE is about three inches longer and follows a design language similar to the EQS flagship model. It’s still unmistakably a Mercedes-Benz — thanks to the usual understated elegance — but also has a more aerodynamic, more futuristic look than an E-Class. New alloy wheel designs are added for 2026.
Unlike many other electric vehicles, there’s no storage area under the hood. In fact, Mercedes-Benz doesn’t want its clients rummaging around under there. To top up the windshield washer fluid, there’s a pop-out nozzle on the driver&#8217;s-side front fender.

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Burmester audio 
It’s optional, but this high-quality 15-speaker, 710-watt surround-sound system available in the EQE sedan is one of our favorites. It includes immersive Dolby Atmos technology.
Biometric authentication 
Owners can store up to seven user profiles, each activated by a fingerprint reader. It’s gimmicky, sure, but we also think it’s cool and science-fiction-esque.
Panoramic sunroof 
A panoramic sunroof is standard with the 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan, contributing to the spacious cabin’s airy ambiance.
Hyperscreen 
The optional high-resolution Hyperscreen dash features three screens under one 56-inch curved glass surface: a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, a 17.7-inch central OLED touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch display for the front passenger.
Augmented reality 
This optional feature is particularly cool. Street names and direction arrows are superimposed on the navigation display over real-time video of the road. It adds confidence and convenience when trying to reach a destination.
Airmatic adaptive air suspension 
This adaptive suspension enables a range of settings from super-comfortable to somewhat sporty.

High-Tech, Deep-Luxury Interior

Knowing whether to go “ooh” or “ahh” is difficult. The oohs are for the gadgets, like the optional full-width Hyperscreen. The ahhs happen when you settle into the supremely comfortable seats and run a hand over the fine cabin materials. We also like the overall interior design — modern yet welcoming.
There’s more space in here than in the already roomy E-Class. And with no transmission tunnel encroaching on the floor area, rear passengers have plenty of leeway to stretch out, including 38.2 inches of legroom. Just be sure to bend down a little more than usual when climbing in, because the roofline swoops down markedly.
Unlike the larger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-eq-eqs/">EQS sedan</a>, which has a hatchback like the Porsche Panamera, this EQE employs a conventional trunk. At 10.9 cubic feet, it’s on the small side. If this aspect is important, the BMW i5’s trunk area is 17.3 cubic feet. Meanwhile, cargo space in the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron goes from 26 cubic feet behind the rear seats to 39.3 cubic feet with those seats folded.

Now in its third model year, it feels like <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/">Mercedes-Benz</a> is still trying to make the EQE fit into the market somehow. Or perhaps not trying at all, as the future of the EQE is not looking rosy. Although we have pricing and updated information on the 2026 model, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/reports-mercedes-stops-taking-most-ev-orders-in-u-s/">Mercedes-Benz is apparently rethinking which electric vehicles it’s bringing into the United States</a>.
It would be a shame if the EQE becomes history. After all, it’s been one of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-cars/">our highest-ranking cars in its sector</a>. But it seems we’re in a time of general upheaval anyway, so we’ll have to see how it all pans out. We have checked with Mercedes-Benz, though, and can confirm that the EQE is around for 2026, at least.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-luxury-electric-cars/">luxury electric cars</a>, including the Mercedes-Benz EQE sedan.

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE has a starting sticker price of $66,200, with the range-topping EQE 320 4Matic kicking off at $68,700.

&nbsp;

Other all-electric midsize luxury cars worthy of consideration are the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a6-sportback-e-tron/">Audi A6 Sportback e-tron</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/i5/2025/">BMW i5</a>, starting in the same financial bracket as the EQE. We expect resale values to be at least average for the class, if not a little better. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Battery and Efficiency

The EQE with one motor has a bigger battery than its dual-motor stablemate. The rear-drive EQE 320 employs a power pack with a usable capacity of 96 kilowatt-hours (kWh), while the all-wheel-drive EQE 320 4Matic makes do with 90.5 kWh.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Mercedes-Benz has new-car and powertrain warranties of four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. These terms are typical in the luxury sector. The EQE’s battery is covered for 10 years or 155,000 miles, which is more generous than usual.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
Although the Mercedes-EQ EQE sedan hasn’t been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States, it earned a maximum five stars overall from a similar program across the Atlantic: Euro NCAP.

What's new for

Last year’s EQE 350 cars are replaced by 2026 EQE 320 and EQE 320 4Matic models. The EQE 500 4Matic has been discontinued for the United States. We say hello to a standard NACS adapter, so EQE users can plug into Tesla Superchargers. Meanwhile, we say goodbye to the haptic accelerator pedal in Eco mode, beginner/valet driving mode, the Acoustic Comfort package, the optional heated windshield, and the black microfiber headliner. Both the Hyperscreen and Burmester audio system were standard last year, but they’ve migrated to the options list for 2026. Mercedes-Benz now offers a new Winter Package with a heated windshield washer system, a heated steering wheel, and heated rear seats.
The upside to this de-contenting and the streamlined choices is that the 2026 EQE now begins about $10,000 less than before.

The value-packed Toyota Corolla holds up its reputation as an efficient, safe, and reliable commuter.

<ul>
<li>Some rivals are roomier</li>
<li>Small trunk</li>
</ul>

The 2026 Toyota Corolla is powered by a 169-horsepower 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. We’ve found it delivers enough pep to get around town and to cruise comfortably on the highway. Acceleration builds sufficiently quickly for daily driving duties and improves over the weaker base engine, equipping the earlier model years of this generation. Driving with the paddle shifters on the SE and XSE trims gets a little more engaging. Overall, the ride is compliant, the seats are comfortable, and it’s hard to find fault in how it drives.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The popular LE trim of the Corolla has an impressive <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a>-estimated fuel economy rating of 32 city/41 highway/35 combined mpg. It’s slightly more efficient (and more powerful) than its entry-level counterparts in the compact sedan segment. The upper trims lose one mpg in combined driving. If efficiency is a high priority, the Corolla Hybrid, reviewed separately, earns up to 47 mpg combined.

Subtle Exterior

The aesthetics of the Toyota Corolla are humble yet stylish. The SE and XSE trims look a little sportier than the base LE model, with revised front and rear fascias and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Smartphone connectivity 
We love to see wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity come standard in affordable cars. These features make it easy to bring your maps, music, and more from your phone to the screen in your car without fussing with wires.
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 
The standard safety tech suite in the Corolla bundles many desirable features. It has automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, lane-tracing assist, road sign assist, and automatic high beams.
Adaptive Cruise Control 
Another technology included with Safety Sense 3.0 is this set-it-and-forget-it cruise control. Once set, it maintains a safe distance from the car ahead, automatically slowing and speeding up as needed.
Smart Key 
Toyota’s version of proximity keyless entry automatically unlocks the Corolla as long as the key fob is on your person. We truly miss this convenience feature when testing a car without it. It’s standard beginning with the SE trim.
8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia 
The standard 8-inch touchscreen in the Corolla houses features like wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, dual Bluetooth phone connectivity, and over-the-air updates. If you want a larger touchscreen, a 10.5-inch screen comes standard in the XSE trim and as an option in the SE.
Intelligent Assistant 
This optional feature on the Corolla adds a cool piece of modern tech to this compact. Just say, “Hey, Toyota,” the infotainment system acts like a smart speaker responding to voice commands. We used it to get directions, control the audio, change the cabin temperature, and more.

Practical Interior

We found the interior quality of the Corolla to be pretty good for a compact car at this price point. The standard cloth seats are comfortable, and the upper trims get SofTex faux leather seating. As for the 8-inch infotainment screen (and available 10.5-inch touchscreen), we love that it has standard wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. A welcome upgrade this year is a standard 7-inch digital gauge cluster, upgradeable to a 12.3-inch display, making the Corolla a little more high-tech.
The rear seats have 34.8 inches of legroom, which is adequate for most adults but just okay for this class. The trunk has 13.1 cubic feet of volume, which is on the smaller side for this segment. We also found it oddly challenging to fold down the rear seats because of the awkward placement of the latches behind the headrests.
For reference, the roomier Honda Civic sedan boasts 37.4 inches of rear legroom and has a 14.8 cubic-foot trunk. If you want more cargo room and flexibility, consider the Corolla Hatchback.

The Toyota Corolla is one of the best cars money can buy for someone who just doesn’t want to have to worry about their car. It upholds its decades-old reputation as a safe, reliable, and fuel-efficient car that’s affordable both to buy and to own. A simple model range for 2026 makes it an easy car to shop for, and it gets a couple of tech upgrades this year, like standard blind-spot monitoring and a digital gauge cluster. We&#8217;re focusing on the non-hybrid sedan in this review; the Corolla has a thrifty <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla-hybrid/">hybrid</a> version, a roomier <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla-hatchback/">hatchback</a> variant, and an exhilarating <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/gr-corolla/">GR</a> model, all of which we review separately.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-compact-cars/">compact cars</a>, including the Toyota Corolla.

The 2026 Toyota Corolla&#8217;s base LE trim starts at $23,920, the SE at $26,360, and the top XSE trim at $29,635.

&nbsp;

This pricing falls in line with the rest of the compact sedan class. The Corolla stays close to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/k4/">Kia K4</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/nissan/sentra/">Nissan Sentra</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/jetta/">Volkswagen Jetta</a>, while the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic/">Honda Civic</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/elantra/">Hyundai Elantra</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/mazda3/">Mazda3</a> start a little higher.
Before buying a Corolla, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Toyota Corolla resale value is above average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

The Toyota Corolla is powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine rated at 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Within the compact sedan class, only the Mazda3 boasts higher horsepower and torque numbers in a base engine. Output is sent to the Corolla’s front wheels via an automatic transmission (of the continuously variable variety). All-wheel drive is only available in the hybrid version of the Corolla.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The Toyota Corolla is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Toyota also throws in a 2-year/25,000-mile complimentary maintenance plan.
<h3>Safety</h3>
Although the current generation of the Toyota Corolla is still in testing, historically, it has a strong track record for safety as a repeat winner of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) Top Safety Pick award. Additionally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>) awarded the Corolla its highest overall score: 5-Star. On top of the Corolla’s good crash-test ratings, it’s well-equipped with standard safety features like automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and much more.

Toyota simplified the Corolla sedan&#8217;s non-hybrid lineup for the 2026 model year. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/toyota-corolla-fx-emphasizes-legal-speed-performance/">FX trim introduced last year</a> has migrated exclusively to the hatchback version. This change leaves just the base LE, midrange SE, and premium XSE trims.
<a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/">Toyota</a> updated the Corolla with some new standard features for 2026. A 7-inch digital gauge cluster and blind-spot monitoring are standard, even on the base trim. The XSE trim gets a bigger 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster (optional on the SE).
