Potency of 670 HP and all-wheel drive make the 2027 Dodge Charger Daytona EV a giant. Check out range, price, and exclusive technologies.
The iconic Dodge Charger Daytona enters a new era with the launch of the 2027 electric model, combining power and classic design with the most advanced electric traction technology. This release marks a turning point for Dodge, which invests in electrification without sacrificing the muscular character and American identity that make the Charger a legend.
Power and Performance: When Electric Surpasses Gasoline
Abandoning the traditional gasoline V-8 engine, the Dodge Charger Daytona EV 2027 features a dual electric motor system, delivering up to 670 combined horsepower and a robust torque of 627 lb-ft. This powertrain is distributed across both axles, providing all-wheel drive (AWD) that ensures stability and performance in any condition.
One of its highlights is acceleration: the model reaches 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.3 seconds, outperforming its combustion predecessor, the Hellcat. Additionally, the Charger Daytona EV maintains its sporty spirit with exclusive modes like Donut Mode, Drift Mode, Line Lock, and launch control, allowing the driver to explore dynamic handling with high fun and control.
Nevertheless, it’s worth noting that the Daytona EV’s behavior is closer to a grand tourer, favoring comfort on long drives without sacrificing sportiness. The optional adaptive suspension further enhances driving quality, absorbing road imperfections and smoothing curves with precision.
Modern Design with Retro Touches and Functional Interior
Paying homage to the classic 1968 Charger, the Daytona EV 2027 features an aesthetic line that combines retro and contemporary elements. Its proportions preserve the muscle car charm, available in both two-door coupe and four-door sedan versions — the latter weighing only 22 kg more and nearly identical in performance.
Inside, the car offers spacious comfort, especially in the rear seats, surprising given its increased legroom compared to the gasoline-powered Challenger. A standout feature is the center console with the redesigned modern “pistol grip” shifter, providing an intuitive experience for the driver. While materials could be more upscale, this does not compromise usability or overall style.
The hatchback trunk offers versatility:
- Rear cargo space: 765 liters with seats up, 1,048 liters with seats folded;
- Front trunk (frunk): small space of 42.5 liters for light and compact items.
Additionally, the Charger Daytona EV adopts the NACS charging system, compatible with Tesla’s Supercharger network for rapid charging — an innovation that enhances its connection with American electrical infrastructure.
Range, Charging, and Cutting-Edge Technological Features
Equipped with a 94 kWh lithium-ion battery, the Dodge Charger Daytona EV offers an estimated range of up to 430 km (267 miles), making it competitive within the electric muscle car segment. With a maximum charging rate of 183 kW, it can recharge from 20% to 80% in approximately 27 minutes using DC Level 3 fast chargers.
Beyond fast charging, the model features the Uconnect 5 infotainment system on a 12.3-inch touchscreen, with wireless support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The inclusion of Amazon Alexa and an integrated navigation system with a charging station locator ensures a seamless, connected digital experience.
For enthusiasts who want to monitor every detail, the Dodge app allows remote tracking of charge level and vehicle settings via smartphone—a smart solution connecting the future of American muscle cars with urban mobility.
In terms of safety, the Charger Daytona EV 2027 is well-equipped: emergency automatic braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and cyclist recognition are included to provide a safer and more comfortable driving experience.
Muscle Car Sound: The Challenge of the Electric Age
One of the most divisive aspects among fans and critics of the new Dodge Charger Daytona EV is the synthetic exhaust sound system “Fratzonic.” Attempting to replicate the unmistakable roar of the Hemi V-8 engine, the digitally generated sound has been described by many as “funny” and soulless, unable to capture the emotion and nostalgic atmosphere of combustion engine roars. Interestingly, it’s possible to turn off this system for completely silent driving.
This change exemplifies the dilemma of transitioning to electrification: instant power and efficiency versus that unique feeling from a gasoline engine. Nonetheless, experts recognize that the Charger Daytona EV aims not only to match the Hellcat’s performance but also to offer a muscle car experience for the new century.
Price and Versions: Accessing the New Electric Muscle Car
Starting at approximately US$ 74,490 for the Scat Pack Coupe version, the Dodge Charger Daytona EV 2027 is competitively positioned to appeal to fans of electric muscle cars and buyers seeking high performance with a focus on technology and environmental responsibility.
The sedan variant provides a practical alternative for those prioritizing space without sacrificing power, with an estimated price of around US$ 74,990. The “Plus” versions with additional features are estimated at about US$ 79,490, offering more customization according to the buyer’s preferences.
If you’re a fan of traditional muscle cars and want to understand the differences with powerful combustion engines, also check all production cars with Hellcat engines. For those interested in high-performance electric vehicles, the launch of the Mercedes-Benz EQE320+ SUV 2026 offers exciting new features in technology and power worth exploring.
Finally, charging infrastructure remains a key factor for electric vehicle adoption. Dodge’s adoption of the NACS standard expands compatibility and convenience, which could be crucial for the Charger Daytona EV’s success in North and Latin American markets.
