Dodge Delays Four-Door Charger Daytona EV to 2026 Model Year
The four-door version of the electric muscle car was previously scheduled to arrive in the first half of 2025, but is now delayed until at least the second half of the year.
Dodge is delaying the arrival of the four-door Charger Daytona EV from the first half of 2025 to the latter half of the year.
The four-door model will now launch for the 2026 model year on the same timeline as the internal-combustion Charger Sixpack.
While Dodge quietly dropped the R/T trim from the Daytona, the Scat Pack can now be ordered stock or with an optional Track Package.
Customers excited for the arrival of the more practical four-door version of the Dodge Charger Daytona EV will have to wait a bit longer. A new announcement from Dodge confirms that the four-door Charger EV will now arrive in the latter half of 2025 instead of the first half as originally planned.
The Charger Daytona sedan will now launch as a 2026 model, with its new timeline lining up with the upcoming internal-combustion Charger Sixpack. The news comes less than a week after Dodge removed the R/T trim from the 2026 lineup due to increased uncertainty around U.S. tariff policies.
That leaves the 670-hp Scat Pack as the only powertrain available for the Charger Daytona. Still, despite the lack of trim options, customers aren’t left without choices. Not only will they have the choice of two or four doors, but Dodge is also offering a new Track package for both body styles. It comes with upgraded Brembo brakes, featuring a pair of fixed six-piston calipers in front and four-pot units in back, all painted red for that racy look. The Track package also adds adaptive dampers, an onboard race recorder, performance seats, and a gloss-black spoiler.
Dodge also confirmed the addition of two new appearance options for the 2026 model year. Customers can now order racing stripes (officially called Fratzog dual stripes), and there’s now an option for a gloss-black hood.
Dodge has announced that the 2026 models are available for order now, but at the time of publishing this story, there’s currently no way to build or price a 2026 Charger Daytona EV on the automaker’s consumer website.
