Dodge has electrified its iconic Charger nameplate with the introduction of the Charger Daytona R/T and Scat Pack. Dodge has finally revealed the pricing for its highly anticipated electric muscle cars in the USA, ahead of its launch later this month.
Price
- Dodge Charger Daytona R/T: Starting at USD 61,590 (approximately AED 228,000)
- Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack: Starting at USD 75,185 (approximately AED 277,000)
Dodge recently held an event in Dubai introducing the upcoming Charger electric muscle car. Here are all the details.
Reaction To The Pricing
The starting price for both the R/T and Scat Pack models is considerably higher than their gas-powered counterparts. The pricing positions the Charger Daytona EV as a luxury performance electric vehicle rather than a mainstream muscle car.
While some consumers appreciate the advanced technology and performance of the electric powertrain, the majority of the feedback indicates that the price is a major barrier to entry for many potential buyers.
Dodge Charger EV Design
Both the R/T and Scat Pack boast a striking design that pays homage to the legendary Dodge Charger while incorporating modern, aerodynamic elements. The classic muscle car silhouette is retained but with futuristic touches like the illuminated Charger logo and sleek LED lighting. The overall aesthetic is a perfect blend of heritage and innovation.
Dodge Charger EV Powertrain
- Dodge Charger Daytona R/T: Equipped with a dual-motor setup, the R/T delivers a combined output of 496hp and 611Nm of torque. The R/T is rated to deliver over 600km range from a single battery charge.
- Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack: Taking performance to the next level, the Scat Pack boasts a more powerful dual-motor system generating 670hp and 850Nm of torque. Higher performance on the Scat Pack hampers the range a bit. It is rated to deliver 400km per charge.
Both models feature all-wheel drive for optimal traction and handling, ensuring maximum grip in various driving conditions. Features like launch control and electronic limited-slip differentials enhance acceleration and traction.
Dodge will offer compatible charging solutions, including both home charging and public fast-charging options.
Production Timeline and Dodge’s Challenge
Production for the two-door will start imminently, while four-door Charger Daytona models will start rolling off the assembly line in the first half of next year. The gas-powered Charger, sporting Stellantis’ new twin-turbo straight-six engine, will begin production in the second half of 2025.
Dodge Charger Daytona In The UAE
The Dodge Charger Daytona represents a bold step forward for the American automaker. As more details emerge, including official UAE pricing and availability, the excitement surrounding this electric marvel is sure to intensify.
