Used 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona for Sale near Davenport, IA

The 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona is an electric muscle car for the 21st century.

The new Dodge Charger roars into showrooms in coupe and four-door sedan configuration, not to mention with an available all-electric powertrain lurking beneath its sleek retro-themed exterior. Dodge has made a concerted effort to drag the Charger into the 21st century, without alienating a loyal fanbase that loved the previous Charger’s penchant for tire-smoking antics thanks to its rumbling Hemi V8 engines.

The bad news for some is that the Hemis are gone and never to return. Stricter emissions requirements and the need to modernize the Charger’s solid, yet undoubtedly dated, underpinnings meant a fresh automotive blueprint was required.

The good news is that the design of the Charger is classically handsome, and straight-line speed is a match for any of the outgoing Charger’s brag-worthy zero to 60 mph and quarter-mile times (3.3 seconds and 11.5 seconds respectively).

Verdict: Simply put, many muscle car purists will decry the lack of a growling V8 engine under the hood. Trust us, they don’t know what they’re missing. The 2024 Dodge Charger pairs practicality with boisterous excess, successfully reinventing the brand’s approach to crafting a head-turning muscle car. The biggest caveat we discovered is price-the Charger Daytona is many things, but a bargain isn’t one of them.
