Into the All-New 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona Perks

The Dodge Charger Daytona has a brand new 400-volt system and a 100.5kWh battery able to produce as much as 670 horsepower. To have that as an offering for customers is massive as it more than doubles the base engine horsepower capabilities of the previous generation Charger. Dodge made this new ride a fast ride with its 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds and move a quarter of a mile in a hair over 11 seconds. The electrical build creates a positive spin on those fearful of its electrified technology with its quick charging rates: 20-80% in less than 30 minutes on a level 3 DV fast charger. So, what else is new?

To start with, the car has a 400-volt system and a 100.5kWh battery capable of producing up to 670 horsepower. Dodge claim it can go from 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds and cover a quarter of a mile in just over 11 seconds. The electrical architecture facilitates relatively quick charging rates: 20-80% in under 30 minutes on a level 3 DV fast charger.

More Details On the Forthcoming Charger

The new electric Charger will be ready in two trims; the Charger Daytona R/T and Scat Pack; and there’s a two-door coupe option or the four-door sedan selection. The R/T will net drivers  456 horsepower, 404lb-ft of torque, with 0-60mph marking in at under 5 seconds at 4.7 seconds. That’s over 100 horsepower more than the standard offering from the previous generation. The Scat Pack will produce 630 horsepower, 627 lb-ft of torque, and hit 60mph in 3.3 seconds. This ride is built on the STLA Large platform, the Daytona brings two drive units with 250-kw permanent magnet synchronous motors, one for each axle for standard all-wheel drive.

First Buyers Can A Nice, Neat Perk

For the first year, both the R/T and Scat Pack will arrive standard with a Direct Connection upgrade kit from the Dodge brands performance tools that provides 15-second boosts of 40 additional horsepower if drivers set aside 30 seconds between each boost. Dodge has labeled this the Power Shot, and it’s accessible via a steering wheel button opposite the drive mode button so drivers don’t have to fiddle with a toggle or touchscreen when they need more strength while driving. After the first year, the Power Shot kits will run buyers slightly extra.

Also standard for just the first year is the largest brake package ever offered on a Dodge, consisting of 6-piston Brembo front and 4-piston rear callipers clamping down on 16.0-inch rotors. One-pedal driving is not part of the plan, though paddle shifters enable three levels of regenerative braking. The front drive unit disconnects power to the wheels and improves range and efficiency based on drive mode, while the rear unit has a mechanical limited-slip differential for better traction out of corners.

Drive Modes Galore On This New Ride

Looking at the perks of driving the Charger entails  drive modes, including the standard Auto, Eco, Sport, and Wet / Snow. For the Scat Pack trim, drivers will get two additional drive modes: Track and Drag. Track mode produces according to Dodge, “maximum vehicle performance capability on smooth, dry surfaces, while Drag Mode, intended for use on an enclosed dragstrip, provides optimal dragstrip launch and straight-line acceleration.”

All this power has a price though, as the Scat Pack offers a meagre 260 miles of EPA estimated distance, while the R/T hits 317 miles. What’s more important is how the car appears to buyers. As we are seeing as the Charger Daytona being based upon the first Dodge Challenger from the early 1970s, its EV makeover is mainly done inside; starting with the electric powertrain. Note how the wheels have been changed further to the corners of the car, expanding the passenger area and creating more space for passengers in the back seats. But the design of the Charger Daytona is truly classic muscle car, with a tucked-in nose, a long hood, slab sides, a fastback roofline, and a short rear end.

One interesting feature kept from the 2022 concept vehicle Dodge made was the R-Wing blade raised on the front end. A hollowed-out area at the nose of the car had airflow to pass through from the grille and onto the hood, providing additional front-end downforce, as well as carrying hints the first 1968 Dodge Charger Daytona. Although the 23-inch rear tail wing is no longer still around.

Although the new Charger Daytona has all-wheel drive, onboard technology creates  rear-wheel burnouts and donuts can still be done; We’ll have the tires to replace any burned away! Start shopping with us here and look for new Dodge rides at Miami Lakes Automall.
