2026 Dodge Charger Daytona: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for 2026 is the addition of a four-door Charger Daytona alongside the two-door model. This is a meaningful expansion and trim reshuffle, not a full redesign.
About the 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona
1st next-generation Charger generation on the STLA Large platform; second Daytona EV model year, first year with the four-door sedan and a revised trim strategy.
The Charger Daytona is Dodge’s attempt to turn classic American muscle into an EV without sanding off the attitude. Dodge markets it around straight-line speed, standard all-wheel drive, a widebody stance, a liftback cargo area, dramatic digital displays and the brand’s Fratzonic exhaust sound. Compared with most EVs, it is positioned less as a quiet efficiency play and more as a practical, all-weather performance car with theater, sound and personality.
The 2026 Charger Daytona lineup centers on the 670-hp Scat Pack, an electric AWD muscle car with synthetic exhaust sound, track-focused drive modes and a practical rear hatch. Scat Pack Plus adds everyday upgrades such as a 360-degree camera, wireless phone charging, upgraded headlights and a power hatch.
