Dodge is shaking things up with a brand new Charger designed to compete with the likes of the Ford Mustang. But unlike its Mustang rival, Dodge ditches the classic V8 under the hood.
The new Charger offers two gasoline-powered options: a turbocharged 3.0L six-cylinder with 420 horsepower (base) or 550 horsepower (higher trim).
Electrification enthusiasts can opt for the Daytona, the Charger’s battery-electric version, boasting 496 hp in the R/T and a monstrous 670 hp in the Scat Pack. Torque figures are equally impressive, reaching 404 lb-ft and 625 lb-ft respectively.
While Dodge hints at an upcoming 800-volt flagship, the current electric Chargers utilize a 400-volt architecture. Deliveries for the all-new Charger, available in both coupe and sedan forms, are expected to begin soon.
In the meantime, pre-production testers, like the electric one spotted in June, continue to be seen undergoing testing. While some critics argue the 2025 Dodge Charger lacks the classic muscle car spirit, its design draws undeniable inspiration from legendary predecessors like the 1968-1970 Charger.
This retro look has enthusiasts raving, and we can’t disagree it’s a head-turner. Throughout history, countless modified Chargers have boasted impressive power alongside modern upgrades like brakes, suspension, and even infotainment systems.
This digitally rendered example by Carmstyledesign perfectly exemplifies that trend. The artist, showcasing their work on YouTube, has created stunning CGI images of this customized classic from various angles.
This fusion of classic muscle car looks with modern amenities and personalized touch is a dream build, and we hope it inspires real-world restorations. After all, the world craves more V8-powered muscle car brilliance.
No,no,no!!!!!!! I hated dodges for years,these kids buying hellcats and taking over intersections made me hate the more. But putting a electric motor.how blasphemous this should die like the Chevy blazer,the mustang Mach-e,and cyber truck
