USB-C has gone from being a nice-to-have feature to a needed outlet these days, but cars haven’t been too quick to keep up. Here’s which ones offer it in 2026.
For a great many years, automakers stuck with old-fashioned USB-A ports that charged phones at glacial speeds, while the rest of the tech world moved onto the faster USB-C standard. So while phones began releasing with chargers that got a 50% charge in under 30 minutes, even $60,000 luxury cars were still offer charging speeds that barely kept pace with battery drain during navigation.
But all that’s changed for the better now, with the introduction of USB-C on the vast majority of new cars on the market today. The standard supports faster charging, and is reversible, so no more taking three attempts to get the cable into the socket. Most importantly, a lot of modern devices now use USB-C, so drivers can finally rid themselves of the cable collection that’s been growing in the center console.
What’s cool to see is how quickly the industry embraced the change, with most major automakers now including USB-C charging ports on even entry level cars. Some OEM’s have gone absolutely overboard, for example, Lincoln’s Navigator can have up to 14 USB-C ports in some trims. So, with all that said, here are some of the car brands that have models with USB-C charging ports.All GM brands
The GM group consists of four main brands today: Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac, which we’ve listed progressively, based on their exclusivity and luxury. A great many models from these brands have USB-C ports, including several entry-level ones. Beginning with Chevrolet, which is at the base of the „GM Pyramid“, so to speak. The 2026 Tahoe and Suburban both have plenty of USB-C ports, and so do the brand’s lesser models like the Blazer, Trailblazer, Traverse, Equinox, and Trax. Of course, the trucks from Chevy, like the Colorado and Silverado also have USB-C charging ports, and so does the Corvette.
On Buick’s end, every single trim of the Buick Enclave also comes with not just USB-C charging ports in all three rows of seating, but also with wireless charging pads in the front. Moving on to GMC, its models also have USB-C, including the GMC Yukon, Canyon, Acadia, Terrain, and Sierra line of trucks. And finally for the GM Group, we have the top-shelf line from Cadillac, all of which have USB-C ports in them; including the CT-4, CT-5, XT4, XT5, XT6, Lyriq, Optiq, Vistiq (which we’ve reviewed the 2025 model of), and of course, the legendary Cadillac Escalade.Basic Stellantis brands
Stellantis, the recently formed public conglomerate owned by Netherlands-based Exor, owns several famous car brands, including entry-level ones, as well as luxury and sports ones. Starting with its everyday consumer brands, we have Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Jeep. Many iconic models from these brands have USB-C charging ports in 2026, so let’s start with Chrysler.
Since 2025 (when it got an infotainment upgrade), the Chrysler Voyager has featured many USB-C ports around the cabin. However, the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica is the more famous model, and it comes with fast-charging USB-C chargers in all three rows of seating. The Dodge Charger has four USB-C ports for 2026, the 2025 Hornet had at least one. The Dodge Challenger has been discontinued for 2026, having been replaced with a four-door Charger.
The 2026 Durango can have up to four USB ports, of which two can be USB-C versions. Coming to Ram, both the 2026 Ram 1500 and 2500 lines have USB-c ports on even the entry-level trims. For Jeep, the 2026 Wrangler and Gladiator (which is based on the Wrangler), both come with USB-C ports too.Luxury Stellantis brands
Sticking with Stellantis, we move on to Alfa Romeo and Maserati. Stellantis owns several other brands overseas, like Fiat and Opel, but these are the last two with notable U.S. presences for our purposes. Maserati offers a number of models in the U.S., but many are really high end, so we’ll focus on the Grecale and the Ghibli, which are the brand’s entry-level SUV and sedan, respectively. Both of these models have USB-C as standard. In 2026, Alfa Romeo only sells three models stateside: the Giulia sedan and the Tonale and Stelvio crossover SUVs.
For 2026, the Tonale gets at least one USB-C port in the center console, as well as in the second row of seats. While we couldn’t confirm whether the 2026 Giulia sedan will get USB-C ports, the 2025 version has multiple, and it’s really unlikely that the brand will axe them for the new model. And finally, coming to the Alfa Romeo car that’s been in the news the most, the 2026 Stelvio is confirmed to come with both USB-A and USB-C ports in the front, while the rear passengers will eschew the USB-A ones, getting only USB-C — but no one’s complaining about that.Volvo and Polestar
The Swedish company everyone knows and loves offers USB-C charging ports in all of its models as standard, even the base-spec variants. To start with, the 2026 Volvo XC90 has two USB-C ports inside what it calls the „tunnel console“, which is the storage bin located between the passenger and driver; and two in the center console as well. The smaller Volvo XC60 also can be had with up to four USB-C ports across the front and rear; and it’s the same on the smallest of the bunch, the XC40.
Also, Polestar, which started life as Volvo’s performance division, is now known for making luxury electric versions of Volvo cars. As far as Polestar vehicles go, the Polestar 2, Polestar 3, and Polestar 4 all have four USB-C ports, with two in the center console, and two in the rear.
