Dodge embarked on a new chapter in the automotive industry following the discontinuation of the L-bodied 2023 Challenger coupe and Charger sedan late last year. The company unveiled the eighth generation Charger, now available in both traditional two-door fastback coupe and four-door sedan body styles.
A highlight of the Charger’s introduction was the announcement of the Charger Daytona for the 2024 model year.
This model will feature all-electric powertrains in addition to R/T or Scat Pack versions boasting up to 496 or 670 horsepower, respectively, powered by two electric motors. The sedan variant is slated for production next year.
Furthermore, the 2025 Dodge Charger Sixpack offers ICE power, replacing the iconic Hemi V8s with a modern 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six engine, available in two power outputs: 420 or 550 horsepower. This shift sparks debates about the evolution of electric muscle cars and the legacy of traditional V8 engines.
Amidst discussions, Dodge positions its new Charger as a dominant force, boasting superior power compared to rivals such as Ford’s Mustang or BMW’s M3 and M4, despite its larger dimensions.
While speculation abounds regarding future developments, attention remains focused on Dodge’s commitment to innovation and performance.
