2024 Dodge Charger Daytona: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2024 is that the Dodge Charger Daytona starts an all-new generation as Dodge’s first battery-electric production car. It replaces the traditional V8 formula with a two-door, dual-motor AWD coupe offered in R/T and Scat Pack forms.
About the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona
8th-generation Charger, first year of the all-new multi-energy platform and first year for the Daytona EV.
Dodge positions the Charger Daytona as a next-generation muscle car that keeps Charger attitude—big straight-line shove, dramatic styling, driver-focused controls, and emotional theater—while switching to electric power. The point is not quiet EV commuting; it is instant torque, standard all-wheel drive, a usable coupe body with hatchback-style cargo access, and heritage details like the widebody stance, R-Wing nose, and synthetic exhaust note. That makes it stand apart from most EV coupes, which sell themselves more as tech cars than as muscle cars.
The R/T is the more road-focused version, with 496 horsepower, heated performance seats, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 670-hp Scat Pack is the more aggressive model, adding a Track Package, stronger Brembo brakes, adaptive suspension, a head-up display, and dedicated Track, Drag, and Drift/Donut modes.
