See the Dodge Charger Daytona from every angle with more than 200 angles

Dodge is diving deep into the world of electric vehicles, trying to blend its muscular swagger with the realities of an ever-evolving EV future. The Charger Daytona is the poster child for Dodge’s electric gamble, but whether it’s a seamless evolution or an attempted role play for the future is up for debate. Regardless, we’ve got a huge photo gallery showcasing the brand’s latest creations in R/T and Scat Pack trims, plus a lot of Unpack.

Official: Dodge’s new Charger will arrive in Europe and the Middle East in 2025

Production of the Charger Daytona has begun at Stellantis’ Windsor Assembly Plant in Canada, with deliveries expected in early 2025. But if you’re one of those people stuck with the ICE-powered Hurricane inline-six, go ahead and buy a Snickers—it won’t be ready until around spring.

Even without a V8, it looks like it can speak loudly

If anything, Dodge knows how to go to market, and the Charger Daytona’s design doesn’t shy away from drama. R/T trims, especially the Redeye, stand out with their sharp lines and 20-inch Blacknoise wheels. A transparent grille that directs air to holes in the sculpted hood is a feature unique to electric cars because the gas-guzzling charger needs the space to house the engine. ICE models stand out with their larger bumper air intakes and proudly displayed exhaust pipes.

For the Scat Pack, Dodge is leaning toward sportier touches, such as the “Stage 2” bee logo on the silhouette. It also features a lip spoiler at the rear and Brembo brakes with red calipers as part of the standard Track Pack. The gallery showcases the “After Dark” (blue) color, along with other colors like “White Knuckle” (white) and “Triple Nickel” (silver). These represent just some of the available colors officially offered by Dodge Configurator.

Interior: Muscle Car Meets Tron

Stepping inside, the Charger Daytona is like going to a high-end spa for a complete digital detox. The cockpit ditches the dated Challenger vibe for a sleeker (and more welcoming) setup. The cockpit features a 10.25-inch instrument cluster (upgraded to a 16-inch unit in the Scat Pack) and a 12.3-inch infotainment display. The high-mounted center console gives off a strong muscle-car vibe, although the transmission tunnel of an electric car doesn’t require that.

Ambient lighting on the dashboard and door cards gives the cabin a futuristic tone. Additionally, the Scat Pack comes with sports seats with integrated head restraints, upholstered in suede and Nappa leather.

Electric vehicle option with all-wheel drive

The Charger Daytona uses Stellantis’ STLA Large platform, which can accommodate electric and ICE versions. Electric models are powered by dual electric motors, which means all-wheel drive is standard. However, this setup has been criticized in early reviews, particularly for the lack of that signature V8 roar. Dodge’s solution – Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, a system that emits artificial engine noise – is undoubtedly loud and unique, but it remains a controversial feature, to say the least.

In the R/T, combined output is 456 hp (340 kW / 462 hp), while the Scat Pack increases power to 630 hp (470 kW / 637 hp). Additionally, the PowerShot function delivers a more powerful 496 hp (370 kW / 503 PS) in the R/T and 670 hp (500 kW / 679 PS) in the Scat Pack, although only for 15 seconds each time.

Both EV models are equipped with a 100.5 kWh battery pack, with a range of 317 miles (510 kilometers) for the R/T battery pack and 260 miles (418 kilometers) for the Scat Pack battery pack.

The Dodge Charger Daytona R/T starts at $59,595 and the Scat Pack starts at $73,190.

ICE is not dead yet

While the all-electric muscle car is the first to hit the market, the most anticipated version of the new Dodge Charger is the one with the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane inline-six engine. The engine will initially be available in two power outputs, offering 420 hp (313 kW / 426 PS) and 550 hp (410 kW / 558 PS).

The ICE-powered Charger may have lost the V8 magic of the HEMI-powered Challenger, but it can still satisfy muscle car buyers who don’t want to transition to an electric vehicle. After all, a V8 engine was out of the question for the new generation, as it would have required extensive redesign to fit into the engine bay.

Banshee power incoming

Dodge has hinted at even crazier versions of the Charger Daytona, including an electric version with a Banshee three-motor setup. If the concept’s numbers hold up, the car could produce a staggering 1,320 hp (984 kW / 1,338 PS), leaving the V8-powered Demon and Hellcat sulking in corners. It doesn’t matter whether anyone actually needs that much power – after all, in America, “excess” isn’t just a word, it’s a way of life.

Four-door charging sedan

Dodge has confirmed it will launch a four-door Charger version to replace the old Charger sedan, which means you can pretend you’re Vin Diesel while lugging the kids in tow. Interestingly, both versions of the new model are 206.6 inches (5,252 mm) long, share the same 121-inch (3,074 mm) wheelbase, and have the same roofline. This means the added practicality of the rear doors won’t be combined with the extra space for rear passengers.
