Everybody has recognized it was coming for a very long time, however Dodge this week revealed the 4-door model of its new Charger Daytona muscle automobile. Dodge sells the Charger in lots of kinds now, so it can take a second to make clear what you should purchase now and what you may anticipate later. (Deep breath)
4 Automobiles, One Title
Dodge initially deliberate the Charger because the world’s first “electrical muscle automobile” and started promoting it as a 2-door coupe. Sellers inventory electrical fashions underneath the title Charger Daytona.
The model later promised a 4-door model.
Public response was combined, with many longtime Dodge fans less-than-enthused about electrical automobiles (EVs). So the corporate additionally deliberate gas-powered variations. These might be bought underneath the title Chargerwith no Daytona. In some promoting, the corporate has gone with “Charger Six Pack.” They will even seem with two or 4 doorways.
Dodge is legendary as the house of the Hemi V8, which was used within the final era of the Charger. Dodge says it can construct the brand new era of inside combustion Chargers solely with turbocharged inline-6 engines. They’re loads highly effective — as much as 540 horsepower — however they’re not Hemis.
Dodge has introduced the Hemi again in some functionshowever engineers inform KBB it received’t come to the Charger as a result of it doesn’t bodily match within the engine bay. We’re nearly prepared to guess that, if gross sales flag sufficient, they’ll redesign the engine bay. However don’t maintain your breath. That’s an costly proposition.
In the present day, sellers inventory solely 2-door, electrical Charger Daytona fashions. However Dodge says they’ve began taking orders for 4-door Charger Daytona fashions. Curiously, the corporate hasn’t revealed costs. The two-door 2025 model begins at $61,590, together with a $1,995 supply price.
Dodge hasn’t set a launch date for the gas-powered variations. However we assume they’re in a rush to promote some vehicles.
Very Little Visible Distinction
The 4-door fashions look nearly precisely just like the 2-door fashions. Dodge says they share a “widespread roofline, liftgate and entrance/rear fascia, making a daring, modern look.”
The corporate hasn’t launched specs, however we predict the inside dimensions could match, too. “Just like the coupe, the ‘hidden hatch’ spacious inside of the four-door Dodge Charger boasts finest in-class rear cargo quantity and finest in-class passenger quantity,” Dodge says.
They received’t differ a lot in options, both. The corporate guarantees “just about all content material” might be “the identical for each fashions.”
Prime-of-the-Line Solely in 2026
The 2025 2-door Charger Daytona fashions in showrooms at the moment are available two trim ranges – base R/T and better-equipped Scat Pack. With sluggish early gross sales for the electrical mannequin, Dodge lately determined to not produce the cheaper R/T for 2026.
So, in 2026, each 2- and 4-door variations might be out there solely in Scat Pack type. Which means 670 horsepower and a zero-to-60 mph time of three.3 seconds. Fuel-powered fashions, once they come, is not going to be as highly effective or as fast.
