Dodge has revealed a 670bhp ‘four-door muscle car’: meet the Charger Daytona saloon

All-electric brute swings in with its horsies fully unlocked for max tyre destruction

Published: 21 May 2025

Dodge has revealed a very big, very fast and enormously powerful new car. It is called the Dodge Charger Daytona sedan, which makes it a four-door muscle car. Yee, and indeed, haw.

An electric four-door muscle car, don’t forget, because the new Charger is an EV. And because this is a Dodge EV that carries a very big, very fast and enormously powerful badge, there’ll be plenty of both yee and haw.

Unsurprisingly this new Charger sedan (saloon) carries the coupe’s innards wholesale. Which means a whopping 100.5kWh battery and two electric motors bolted onto Stellantis’s SLTA Large 400V base, and the full 670bhp and 627lb ft unlocked from the factory.

That’ll allow you to yee from 0-60mph in 3.3s and haw all the way up to 134mph. It’ll run the quarter mile in 11.5s, kick out noise via the ‘fratzonic chambered exhaust’, offer many drive modes, come with massive 20in wheels and feature a mechanical limited slip diff.

A track pack’s available, too, that adds more goodies like red Brembo six/four pots, fancy aloominum wheels, a gloss black rear spoiler, adaptive dampers with two valves, and a data logger.

Lots of muscle then, now about those four doors. The new sedan shares its roofline, boot, and front and rear fascias with the two-door car, so at a glance you’d be hard pushed to tell it’s got four entry points as opposed to two. Both basically look like really long coupes.

The doors were apparently added not only for practicality, but to draw more attention to the Charger’s huge flanks that – says Dodge – gives it the widest body of any car in the industry. It’s all been integrated pretty seamlessly, you might say.

This is what Dodge boss Matt McAlear actually said: “It’s a real testament to the Dodge design and engineering teams that apart from two additional doors, the Dodge Charger Daytona sedan embodies the same look and feel as the coupe.”

You can option in some stripes, be treated to a day of instruction at the Radford Racing School, and treated to the Charger’s shiny new interior that carries a 16in cluster screen, a 12.3in central display, cues from the ’68 Charger and lots of ambient light colours. 64, to be precise.

“The 2026 Charger lineup is all about giving our customers the power to choose the muscle car that best fits their lifestyle, with even more choices to come later this year with gas-powered SIXPACK Charger models,” McAlear added. Caps locks required because those Chargers will get a twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six with up to 550bhp. Yee, and, OK fine, haw.
