Dodge will discontinue the Charger Daytona R/T trim starting with the 2026 model year. The decision is attributed to U.S. tariff policies and existing inventory levels. Going forward, Dodge will shift its focus to the Scat Pack, SIXPACK, and four-door variants.

Before production ends, the R/T will be available in Destroyer Grey. As the entry-level trim of Dodge’s first all-electric muscle car, the R/T delivers a performance and design package that reflects the brand’s identity. The model will remain a reference point for Dodge’s early electric vehicle (EV) efforts.

TopElectricSUV TopElectricSUV Large Dimensions, Tech-Focused Interior

Built on the STLA Large platform, the Charger Daytona is bigger and taller than the previous Charger, giving it proportions closer to an SUV. The vehicle is optimized for straight-line performance rather than tight cornering. At the front, an aerodynamic R-Wing channels airflow, and a horizontal light bar adds a futuristic touch.

A gloss black roof is standard, with an optional glass roof available. The focus is on advanced features, with a central infotainment screen and digital cluster—reactive ambient lighting changes color based on driving and controls. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and EV-specific menus are standard. A wireless charging pad is integrated into the center console, and the base audio system includes a 506W, 9-speaker Alpine setup.

The gear selector resembles an aircraft throttle lever, and the steering wheel has a flat-top and flat-bottom design. A dedicated PowerShot button provides a temporary boost in acceleration. Slim A-pillars and large side windows improve visibility, and seat comfort is notable. Soft-touch materials throughout the cabin contribute to an unexpectedly refined interior.

The R/T trim features a 400V dual-motor all-wheel-drive system delivering 503 horsepower and 55.8 kgf·m (403 lb-ft) of torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.7 seconds and has a top speed of 217 km/h (135 mph). The battery has a total capacity of 100.5 kWh, with a usable capacity of 93.9 kWh.

The estimated range is 496 km (308 miles) on a full charge, which is notable given the performance level. DC fast charging at 350 kW allows the battery to charge from 5% to 80% in just 32.5 minutes. Adjustable regenerative braking is included to support efficient driving. Adaptive suspension, launch control, and 20-inch wheels come as standard.

The Charger Daytona R/T is priced at 59,595 USD in the U.S. This positions the model competitively within the high-performance EV segment. However, Dodge will end production of the R/T trim after the 2025 model year. As part of this move, the company plans to restructure its lineup and focus on performance-oriented four-door models.
