- Dodge has announced pricing for the electric Charger Daytona, which arrives for 2024 in two-door form.
- The Charger Daytona R/T will start at $61,590, almost $14,000 more than the 2023 gas-powered R/T.
- The Charger Daytona Scat Pack will carry a $75,185 price, over $20,000 higher than a 2023 Scat Pack with a V-8 engine.
Just two days after Dodge showed off the new simulated “exhaust” note on the upcoming 2024 Charger Daytona EV, the American automaker has announced official pricing for the two-door electric sports car. The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T will start at $61,590, which is nearly $14K more than the previous-generation gas-powered 2023 Charger R/T.
The electric R/T, however, gains a whole lot more performance. Dodge says the 2024 Charger Daytona R/T will come standard with the Direct Connection Stage 1 Upgrade, which boosts the maximum output to 496 horsepower and 404 pound-feet of torque. The old Charger R/T’s V-8 engine produced 370 horsepower. Dodge also specified that the R/T will ride on 18-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in 245/55R18 all-season tires and attached to a sport suspension.
Upgrading to the 2024 Charger Daytona Scat Pack sees the price rise to $75,185, a more than $20 grand hike versus an internal-combustion 2023 Charger Scat Pack. Yet again, the electric Scat Pack boasts a high output, coming standard with the Direct Connection Stage 2 Upgrade, putting output at 670 ponies and 627 pound-feet of torque. The gas-powered Scat Pack’s V-8 cranked out 485 hp.
The 2024 Charger Daytona Scat Pack will also arrive standard with the Track package, which adds red Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear brakes, a gloss black rear spoiler, and a dual-valve adaptive dampers. The Scat Pack upgrades to 20-inch aluminum wheels wearing beefy 325/35R-20 all-season tires. Dodge says this specification will get the car to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and let it zip through the quarter-mile in 11.5 seconds. Inside, the package brings leather and suede 12-way power-adjustable performance seats with four-way lumbar, heated rear seats, and a data and video recording system.
Package Deals
Dodge will offer the Charger Daytona with an array of packages. The $4995 Plus Group adds goodies including a 16-inch digital gauge cluster, powered rear hatch, a wireless charging pad, and LED headlights. For $1095, the R/T model can gain a Blacktop package, which darkens the wheels and exterior badging. A Sun & Sound add-on equips the car with a full glass roof and an 18-speaker Alpine sound system, while the Scat Pack can be had with a Carbon & Suede package that dispenses those materials throughout the cabin.
The Scat Pack can also be fitted with Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3 summer tires, measuring 305/35ZR-20XL up front and 325/35ZR-20 at the rear, for a $695 fee. All 2024 Charger Daytonas will be offered with either an at-home Level 2 charger or a $600 credit through Free2move Charge, a charging network app launched by Stellantis.
Production of the two-door 2024 Charger Daytonas will kick off this summer, and the new models should reach dealerships by the fourth quarter. Dodge also notes that both the R/T and Scat Pack will qualify for the full $7500 tax credit when leased.
Four-door Charger Daytonas will start rolling off the line in the first half of next year. The gas-powered Charger Sixpack models will begin production in the second half of 2025, with pricing for the six-cylinder Charger not likely to arrive until next year.
