Dodge Charger 2024: Never Lived Its Name So Well!

Yes: The 2024 Dodge Charger is electric. But unleaded aficionados can rest assured, gasoline releases are planned for next year.

It’s a small revolution: with the new Charger, Dodge (one of the 14 brands of the Stellantis group) launches the first. muscle car electricity. This 2024 Dodge Charger will be available in 2-door and 4-door: so it will replace the Challenger (2-door) and the Charger (4-door).

Two models that have appeared in the company’s American catalog for 16 and 19 years respectively. Yes, you read that right: despite various improvements, mostly cosmetic, the current Charger and Challenger have been close for a very long time. In fact, these are two historic models in the Dodge lineup; The very first Charger and Challenge started almost 60 years ago.

Dodge Charger 2024 : no muscle car 2.0

Moreover, on a visual level, the inspiration remains unchanged: The 2024 Dodge Charger is inspired by its predecessors, with a large and muscular style. We can only see its appearance more refined in front … in contrast to its height, which increases even more: 5.25 meters! This is 15 centimeters more than the current Charger and +23 centimeters compared to the Challenge. No doubt, it is United States ! But with a new Dodge logo as a bonus.

The wheelbase (distance between the wheels) is 3.03 meters: this should ensure good space on board. Especially since this 2024 Dodge Charger is also very wide (2.02 meters).

Inside, the dashboard is flipped upside down. It receives all the connectivity that we have the right to expect in a car in 2024: a central touch screen (10.6 or 16 inches – depending on the version – compatible with Apple Car Play, Android Auto or even Alexa for voice control ), digital instruments. , display title, etc.

Among the highlights: trunk volume (644 liters! Of which 42 liters are added under the front hood in the electric version), 3 rear seats and the possibility of 64 customizations promised by Dodge inside.

Dodge Charger 2024: still available in hot condition

The launch of this 2024 Dodge Charger is scheduled for the second half of the year, at least in the United States. Arriving in Europe cannot be ruled out, Stellantis has announced the return of the brand to the Old Continent with 100% electric models. For now, however, nothing has been made official.

What we are sure of is that we will have to wait until 2025 to see the 4-door version of the Charger and its hot versions appear (yet in the US). The V8, beloved by Dodge fans, will be abandoned: it will be replaced by the “Hurricane” in the six-cylinder line, already known from Jeep and RAM. Dodge, however, promises better performance than the Late Charger V8.

The 2024 Dodge Charger with the “Hurricane” engine will be called … “Sixpack”. It will be available in two versions: the first developing 420 hp (responsible, no pun intended, replacing the 375 hp Charger 5.7 Hemi V8) and the second accelerating to 550 hp (Charger Sixpack HO) replacing the Charger 6.4 Hemi V8 that developed 65 hp less.

Dodge Charger 2024: two 100% electric versions

In the near future, Dodge communicates more with the Electric Charger, based (like the heat) on the broad STLA platform from Stellantis. At the “entry level”, there will be a Charger Daytona R/T, still has a power of 456 hp (496 hp, even, thanks to a. overpowering time) and 548 Nm of torque. Dodge Charger 2024 Daytona R/T should go from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 5 seconds: not bad, considering that the car weighs more than 2.6 tons!

Charger Daytona Scat Pack does even better: 630 hp (670 hp in overpowering), torque 850 Nm and 3.3 seconds to reach 100 km/h. The R/T and Scat packaging in any case have the same battery (with a capacity of 100 kWh) and receive a 400 V design, and thus it is possible to recover a maximum of 183 kW and thus go from 5 to 80% of autonomy. for more than 30 minutes.

If the Dodge Charger 2024 Daytona Scat Pack already has a power of 630 hp, other more powerful versions will come. It is said that a “Banshee” version of around 900 hp, with two electric motors, would arrive soon.

The range, in fact, is equivalent to 510 kilometers according to Dodge on the R/T version and 418 kilometers on the Scat Pack.

Dodge Charger 2024: crazy options

In Dodge who respects himself, the 2024 Dodge Charger offers, along with plenty of power, a fun driving style. In addition to the usual Auto, Eco, Sport, Wet/Snow and Track modes, it can have a… “Donut” mode and a “Drift” mode, available on the Scat Pack version.

Dodge is also expected to offer accessories, as usual, to allow buyers of the 2024 Dodge Charger to further increase their vehicle’s power. Buyers who can also, during the purchase of the voucher, select the box ” Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust » so that their Charger makes as much noise as the old Charger V8. The (obviously, fake) system has already appeared on the new Abarth 500e, another model in the Stellantis galaxy.

No price has been submitted yet. Our colleagues from Carscoops they are based on $50,000 for the R/T and $60,000 for the Scat Pack. This seems a little optimistic to us, even for the dollar!
