The 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona four-door makes a stronger case for itself than the two-door coupe.

Transforming an icon of internal-combustion muscle into an electric vehicle isn’t easy, especially when doing so pushes the price into luxury-car territory. Yet the Dodge Charger Daytona EV has successfully replicated the retro style and rippling muscle of its predecessor, drifting the car into the modern age. For 2026, Dodge introduces a new four-door model to the lineup, adding an extra dose of practicality to its extraordinary performance. A non-Daytona variant with a gasoline inline-six powertrain dubbed the Sixpack, also arrives for 2026. But we’ll focus on the EV for now.

Verdict: It might not sound like a traditional Charger, especially in Stealth mode, but if raw performance is what you want, the Daytona supplies a stunning amount of it. All it needs is better interior quality to help justify its high price tag.

9/10

Picking up the retro design mantle from the old Dodge Challenger, the latest Charger looks terrific, especially when outfitted with our test car’s 20-inch Satin Carbon wheels, which are a part of the optional Track Package. The extra doors don’t alter the roofline, helping to preserve the 1968-inspired styling. The Charger four-door looks terrific from any angle.

In addition to the new four-door, the 2026 Charger Daytona lineup includes a two-door coupe. This year, both body styles are offered only in Scat Pack trim. The less powerful Daytona R/T is discontinued, and Dodge still hasn’t confirmed the rumored Banshee high-performance grade. Option packages include a Plus Group, Blacktop Package, Track Package, and Carbon & Suede Package. Pricing starts at $61,990 for the coupe, including the $1,995 destination charge. Add $2,000 for the four-door model.

Our Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack test car had all of those upgrades, plus Bludicrous paint, summer performance tires, and a Sun and Sound Package adding a panoramic glass roof and an 18-speaker Alpine premium sound system. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) came to $80,455.

Eighty grand for a Charger? Yep. But keep in mind, in 2023, a Charger SRT Hellcat without any options cost more than our well-equipped test car does today. Also, while the Hellcat’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine supplied 47 more horsepower and 23 more pound-feet of torque, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack gets to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, compared to 3.8 seconds for the Hellcat (as tested by Car and Driver).

Like the old Charger, the new one’s interior seems cheaply outfitted for the price, but the Plus, Sun and Sound, and Carbon and Suede option packages help to hide it. More than anything else, it is the inexpensive-looking finishes in parts of the Charger Daytona’s cabin that might have you questioning the wisdom of spending Mercedes E450 money on one.

Still, the new Charger is a technological tour de force compared to the old one, with digital instrumentation and a widescreen implementation of the Uconnect 5 infotainment system. It’s upscale and futuristic, too, with lovely ambient lighting after dark.
