The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona debuts in R/T and Scat Pack trims, both with dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrains, a 100.5-kwh (93.9-kwh usable) battery, and power that exceeds their gas-motivated Charger and Challenger predecessors.

Dodge’s all-electric Charger Daytona looks like a muscle car, drives like a muscle car and even sounds like a muscle car, but I’m still not sure it is one.

The Stellantis chief design officer took it in stride. “It really was a muscle car first, a Mopar first as well. And then there was the fact that it was electric,” he tells Road & Track of the result, the Dodge Charger Daytona EV. “So we wanted to give a love letter to the Mopar faithful, without it being a retro-themed design.”

The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona coupe's bold design and performance are complemented by a spacious, high-tech interior with impressive hatchback utility. The new Charger's interior also was inspired by the 1968 model. You sit relatively high up in the Daytona coupe and have good outward visibility.
