For as long as muscle cars have existed, practicality has been treated as a necessary casualty. Two doors, dramatic proportions, and a back seat that worked better for bags than people were simply part of the deal. Dodge has finally decided that this trade-off no longer makes sense. With the all-new 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Sedan, muscle car performance steps into a new era, one where four doors, serious interior space, and electric power live comfortably alongside Hellcat-level acceleration. This is not a toned-down family version of a performance icon. It is a full-strength muscle car that just happens to make everyday life easier.
Why a Four-Door Electric Muscle Car Matters
The idea of a four-door muscle car is not new, but doing it without diluting performance is. Dodge’s decision to introduce the Charger Daytona Sedan alongside the two-door coupe sends a clear message. Performance is no longer limited by body style. Both versions share the same widebody stance, the same electric drivetrain, and the same headline power figures.
The result is the world’s only four-door electric muscle car, and that distinction is not just marketing flair. It reflects a genuine shift in how performance vehicles are designed. Buyers no longer want to choose between speed and space. Dodge is responding by offering both, without apology.
Design Continuity Without Compromise

One of the most impressive aspects of the Charger Daytona Sedan is how closely it mirrors the coupe. Dodge resisted the temptation to soften the lines or stretch proportions awkwardly to accommodate extra doors. Instead, both body styles share a common roofline, liftgate, and front and rear fascia.
The widebody design gives the sedan an unmistakably aggressive presence, while subtle nods to the 1968 Charger appear in the surfacing and stance. The patent-pending front R-Wing pass-through not only references classic Charger Daytona design but also improves aerodynamic efficiency by directing airflow through the nose rather than over it.
New visual options for 2026, including Fratzog dual stripes and a gloss black painted hood, add further character. These details ensure the sedan looks every bit as serious as its two-door sibling.
Full Power Unlocked for 2026

Unlike many performance lineups that stagger output across body styles, Dodge delivers full power across the board. For the 2026 model year, both the four-door and two-door Charger Daytona Scat Pack models arrive with the full 670 horsepower unlocked from the factory.
This all-electric output allows the Charger Daytona Scat Pack to sprint from 0 to 100 km per hour in around 3.3 seconds, placing it firmly in supercar territory. Dodge also claims an estimated quarter-mile time of 11.5 seconds, keeping the Charger at the top of the muscle car hierarchy.
Power comes from a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive system operating on a 400-volt electric architecture. Torque delivery is instant, relentless, and controllable, thanks to a rear mechanical limited-slip differential that ensures power is deployed effectively under hard acceleration.
Track Package Becomes a Choice, Not a Requirement
For 2026, Dodge introduces a smarter approach to performance hardware. The Track Package becomes an optional add-on rather than a fixed requirement, giving buyers flexibility in how extreme they want their Charger to be.
Standard Scat Pack equipment already includes a full suite of Drive Modes such as Sport, Track, Drag, and Custom. Race options like Launch Control, Drift and Donut Mode, and Race Prep functions are also standard. PowerShot, which delivers an extra 40 horsepower for ten seconds at the press of a button, remains a headline feature.
The optional Track Package adds serious hardware for those who want maximum capability. This includes massive 16-inch Brembo brakes, staggered 20-inch wheels with ultra-wide performance tyres, dual-valve adaptive suspension, high-back performance seats, and the Drive Experience Recorder for logging track data. It allows the Charger to be either a daily-friendly performance sedan or a fully equipped track weapon.
Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust Keeps the Drama Alive
Electric performance often struggles with one thing that muscle cars have always excelled at: theatre. Dodge’s solution is the patent-pending Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, a system designed to create a physical, directional sound rather than relying on speakers.
The system uses air movement and resonating chambers to produce a deep, aggressive tone that rises with speed and performance demand. It does not attempt to replicate a petrol engine note, but it delivers a presence that feels authentic and suitably dramatic. A quieter mode is available, but the default setting ensures the Charger still announces itself with authority.
Interior That Finally Matches the Performance

Inside, the Charger Daytona Sedan continues Dodge’s shift toward a more driver-focused and technology-rich cabin. A free-standing 16-inch digital instrument cluster sits ahead of the driver, paired with a 12.3-inch central touchscreen running the latest Uconnect 5 system.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, along with Performance Pages that display real-time EV data, power delivery, and driving metrics. The pistol-grip shifter remains a signature touch, while the flat-top, flat-bottom steering wheel houses paddle shifters for regenerative braking control and a dedicated PowerShot button.
Attitude Adjustment interior lighting is available, offering 64 colour options that react to vehicle events such as startup, drive mode changes, and acceleration. It adds a sense of movement and energy to the cabin without feeling gimmicky.
Four Doors Transform Daily Usability
The biggest advantage of the sedan is obvious once you open the rear doors. Rear passenger space is genuinely generous, with best-in-class passenger volume that makes the Charger a viable option for families or frequent passengers.
The hidden hatch layout further enhances practicality. With rear seats folded, the Charger offers up to 38.5 cubic feet of cargo space, which is a massive increase over the outgoing generation. This makes the Daytona Sedan far more versatile than traditional muscle cars, capable of handling road trips, daily commutes, and weekend errands with ease.
Range and Charging in the Real World
Performance always comes with trade-offs, and range is one of them. The Charger Daytona Scat Pack delivers a maximum range of approximately 388 km. That figure will vary depending on driving style, but it remains realistic for daily use.
Charging performance helps offset the range limitations. Using a Level 3 DC fast charger, the Charger can recharge from 20 to 80 percent in around 24 minutes. Dodge also includes a standard Level 1 and Level 2 combination charging cable, allowing owners to charge using either 120-volt or 240-volt outlets.
One-pedal driving and adjustable regenerative braking make city driving smoother and more efficient than many might expect from a muscle car.
How It Compares to Other Performance EVs
Placed alongside rivals like the Tesla Model S Plaid or BMW i4 M50, the Charger Daytona Sedan stands out not by chasing maximum range or headline efficiency numbers, but by prioritising character.
Where some EVs feel clinically fast, the Dodge feels deliberately dramatic. It is heavier, louder in personality, and far more expressive. For buyers who value emotion as much as acceleration, that difference matters.
Pricing and Positioning
While final pricing may vary by market, the 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Sedan is expected to start around USD 80,000, with higher trims and packages pushing the price upward. That positions it competitively against other high-performance electric sedans while offering a level of character few can match.
