Four-Door Dodge Charger Daytona EV Announced For 2026
Dodge’s highly anticipated four-door Charger Daytona EV sedan is redefining muscle cars, but fans will have to wait a bit longer. Originally set for early 2025, its arrival has been pushed to the second half of the year, officially launching as a 2026 model. Despite the delay, this EV stands out as a bold leap forward, merging classic muscle style with electrified performance.
A New Chapter: The Only Four-Door Muscle Car
Dubbed the “world’s only four-door muscle car,” the four-door Charger Daytona EV brings practicality to muscle car enthusiasts without losing its edge. Sharing its bold, widebody stance and coupe-like roofline with its two-door sibling, the sedan now offers easier access to rear seats and more space, all while preserving aggressive styling.
Pure Electric Power: Scat Pack Takes Center Stage
Under the skin, the Scat Pack trim defines the 2026 lineup—Dodge has discontinued the R/T trim. That means every four-door Charger Daytona EV comes with a dual-motor, all-wheel drive system delivering 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. This potent setup rockets the sedan from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, delivering Hellcat Redeye levels of performance—now reimagined for the electric era.
Track Package: Performance for Enthusiasts
For those seeking even more, the Track Package is now optional, making high-end features accessible while lowering the starting price. This package includes:
- Six-piston Brembo front and four-piston rear calipers
- Large, 16-inch vented Brembo rotors
- Adaptive dampers for precise handling
- Performance seats and a gloss-black spoiler
- Onboard performance tracking technology
Whether for daily driving or occasional track days, these features make the EV as engaging as any muscle car before it.
Fresh Looks: Fratzog Stripes and Gloss-Black Hood
Buyers can now customize their Charger Daytona EV with matte-black Fratzog dual stripes (featuring red accents and a repeating triangle pattern), and a hand-painted gloss-black hood. These new options add to the model’s modern muscle aesthetic, blending heritage references with bolder street presence.
Spacious and Smart Interior
The practicality of four doors isn’t just about entry. The Charger’s “hidden hatch” design gives you over 38.5 cu ft of cargo space—133% more than the outgoing gas Charger. Best-in-class rear cargo and passenger room mean this muscle car is now road-trip ready, family friendly, and adventure-capable.
The driver-focused cockpit boasts a 16-inch center touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital driver display running Uconnect 5, with wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Amazon Alexa. Additional highlights include heated and ventilated seats, a flat-top/flat-bottom steering wheel with easy drive mode access, and Dodge’s Powershot function—which boosts output by 40 hp for short bursts of extra acceleration.
The Sound of Muscle—Electrified
To preserve the visceral experience of a traditional muscle car, Dodge equips the Charger Daytona EV with its Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. This system uses speakers to re-create the growl and drama of a V8, ensuring the electric powertrain doesn’t mean the excitement is left behind.
Charging and Range
Dodge claims the EV can recharge from 20% to 80% in about 24 minutes using a Level 3 DC fast charger, though real-world testing suggests this could take closer to 44 minutes. Range tops out at 241 miles, making it practical for both commutes and spirited drives.
A New Muscle Legacy
With the arrival of the four-door Charger Daytona EV, Dodge is seriously raising the bar for performance EVs. This model preserves the muscle car spirit—retro style, thunderous presence, and straight-line speed—while embracing the electric future. Its blend of power, practicality, and cutting-edge tech confirms that the muscle car isn’t going extinct; it’s evolving for a new era.
Orders for the 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona EV—both two- and four-door—are open now, with deliveries expected to start later this year.
