IT’S THE FUTURE OF PERFORMANCE — LOUD, ELECTRIFIED & UNAPOLOGETICALLY DODGE.

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona represents a bold leap into the future of muscle cars, pairing cutting-edge electric propulsion with the aggressive performance Dodge is known for. Available in two distinct trims—the Daytona R/T and the high-performance Daytona Scat Pack—this new iteration blends electrification with sheer American muscle in a way that pushes boundaries while preserving heritage.

Starting with the Daytona R/T, this variant is engineered with dual electric motors that provide all-wheel-drive (AWD) capability for confident traction and dynamic handling. The power output of the R/T reaches 456 horsepower under normal conditions, with a temporary boost via the Power Shot feature that increases it to 496 horsepower. It delivers a solid 404 lb-ft of torque, launching the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. The quarter-mile is dispatched in a brisk 12.6 seconds, giving drivers an exhilarating yet manageable performance experience.

Moving to the more aggressive trim, the Daytona Scat Pack builds on this foundation with a substantial bump in performance. Like the R/T, it also utilizes a dual-motor AWD setup, but each motor is tuned for greater output. The Scat Pack generates 630 horsepower in base mode, which is enhanced to 670 horsepower with Power Shot engaged. Torque also climbs to an impressive 627 lb-ft, helping the vehicle rocket from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.3 seconds, with a quarter-mile time of just 11.5 seconds. Despite its increased power, both trims maintain a top speed of 135 mph, showcasing a balance of brute force and refined engineering.

From a braking standpoint, the R/T features 4-wheel disc brakes, while the Scat Pack steps things up with a more performance-focused Brembo 4-wheel disc braking system, providing better fade resistance and stopping power for spirited driving or track days.

Differences in wheel and tire setups also emphasize the unique character of each trim. The R/T rides on 18-inch by 8.5-inch wheels, wrapped in 245/55/18 performance all-season tires, offering a solid grip and daily drivability. In contrast, the Scat Pack boasts a wider stance with 20-inch by 11-inch wheels, matched with 305/35/20 performance all-season tires that enhance cornering capability, road contact, and overall performance dynamics.

In summary, both Charger Daytona trims deliver electric muscle in distinct packages. The Daytona R/T provides a powerful and balanced entry into EV performance, while the Scat Pack cranks up the adrenaline with muscle-car-level specs that rival traditional V8s. Whether you’re seeking exhilarating straight-line speed or a more aggressive performance edge, the 2025 Charger Daytona lineup delivers a bold, electrified punch—true to Dodge’s legacy, yet charging toward the future.

RANGE & CHARGING SYSTEM SPECS

 
Whether you’re looking for range, recharge speed, or energy efficiency, the 2025 Charger Daytona is engineered to meet the diverse demands of modern EV drivers. The R/T trim offers longer range and quicker recovery times, while the Scat Pack trim delivers a more aggressive performance experience without compromising significantly on recharge capabilities. Together, they embody Dodge’s approach to electrification: fast, powerful, and unapologetically bold.

Beyond its bold design and thrilling performance, the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona is underpinned by a robust electric architecture that ensures not only power but also practical range and charging efficiency. Both the Daytona R/T and Daytona Scat Pack are equipped with a high-capacity 442-volt lithium-ion battery pack, engineered for performance and endurance.

The system offers a total energy capacity of 100.5 kilowatt hours, with 93.9 kWh usable, giving both trims the capability to harness impressive energy reserves for extended driving or high-output scenarios.

Range-wise, the two trims are designed to deliver performance-appropriate endurance.

▸ The Daytona R/T leads with an EPA-estimated range of 308 miles, making it a compelling choice for daily use and longer commutes.

▸ The Daytona Scat Pack, due to its heightened performance tuning and larger wheels, sees a slightly reduced EPA range of 241 miles. Still, this figure is impressive considering the significant horsepower and torque this trim delivers.

The vehicle’s 400-volt propulsion system supports a variety of charging methods to fit different needs and scenarios:

▸ When utilizing 350 kW DC fast charging, the system can replenish the battery from 5% to 80% in approximately 32.5 minutes, or from 20% to 80% in just 24 minutes, offering excellent turnaround for road trips or quick top-offs during busy days.

▸ When connected to a 175 kW DC fast charger, those figures shift slightly—charging from 5% to 80% takes about 52.4 minutes, and from 20% to 80% requires approximately 41.9 minutes. Though slightly slower than optimal DC fast charging conditions, these numbers still offer quick and effective energy recovery for both trims.

▸ For home or workplace charging, both trims support Level 2 charging, which is often used with 240V outlets or charging stations. In this mode, charging from 5% to 80% takes approximately 6.8 hours, while a charge from 20% to 80% takes just 5.4 hours—ideal for overnight charging or routine use between daily drives.

Together, the dimensions and weight characteristics of the 2025 Charger Daytona underscore its dual mission: to be a powerful, electrified performance machine and a road-dominating muscle car with presence, comfort, and utility. Whether cruising in the R/T or launching down the strip in the Scat Pack, this vehicle delivers mass and muscle in equal measure.

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona isn’t just a performance EV—it’s a substantial, commanding presence on the road, built with bold proportions and a wide stance that reflect its muscle car heritage. Both the Daytona R/T and Scat Pack share the same overall body length, stretching to an assertive 206.6 inches, while their width stands at 79.8 inches, giving the Charger a low, wide, and planted feel that complements its aggressive exterior design.

The two trims are nearly identical in height, with the R/T measuring 58.9 inches and the Scat Pack slightly taller at 59.0 inches, a negligible difference that may be attributed to wheel, suspension, or brake configuration variations. The wheelbase spans 121.0 inches, delivering long, stable proportions that support high-speed cruising and refined handling.

Subtle differences emerge in the track widths between the two trims. The Daytona R/T features a front track of 68.7 inches and a rear track of 69.1 inches, contributing to its strong road grip and a confident stance. The Scat Pack, while slightly narrower, posts 67.2 inches in the front and 67.6 inches in the rear.

↳ This may seem strange that the performance model has a narrower track; however, this is necessary in order to fit the much wider wheels and tires within the same fender space – ultimately – enhancing handling, braking and stability.

Both models boast a 20.0-foot turning radius, which is quite reasonable for a vehicle of this size and class.

When it comes to weight, these electric muscle cars are built like heavy-hitters. The Daytona R/T has a curb weight of 5,698 pounds, while the Scat Pack tips the scales at 5,767 pounds—the added weight likely attributed to its upgraded wheels, brakes, and performance enhancements. Despite the extra pounds, the Scat Pack retains impressive agility and quickness due to its high torque and horsepower ratings.

Supporting all of this is a sturdy frame capable of bearing more. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)—which includes the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and fluids—is rated at 6,700 pounds for the R/T, and 6,950 pounds for the Scat Pack, underlining the robust build quality engineered into both trims.

Whether you’re heading out for a weekend getaway, commuting with passengers, or simply hauling everyday essentials, the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona delivers a well-rounded interior experience that complements its electrified muscle car DNA.

Inside the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona, comfort and spaciousness go hand-in-hand with its high-performance persona. Regardless of trim—whether you choose the Daytona R/T or the Scat Pack—both versions are designed to accommodate up to five passengers, offering an interior layout that balances sportiness with practicality. The cabin delivers a total passenger volume of 103.0 cubic feet, making it impressively roomy for a modern performance coupe.

▸ Front-seat occupants are treated to generous space, with 42.6 inches of legroom, 39.1 inches of headroom, 56.3 inches of hiproom, and a wide 59.5 inches of shoulder room—ideal for longer drives or spirited sprints.

▸ Passengers in the rear aren’t left behind either, with 37.2 inches of legroom, 36.9 inches of headroom, 56.1 inches of hiproom, and 57.6 inches of shoulder room, providing a comfortable ride even in the back seat—something not often found in performance-focused two-door vehicles.

Despite its coupe styling, the Charger Daytona EV also proves itself to be surprisingly versatile when it comes to cargo space. Behind the rear seats, drivers will find 22.8 cubic feet of trunk space, more than enough for luggage, groceries, or gear. And when more room is needed, folding down the rear seats opens up the space to a maximum cargo volume of 37.4 cubic feet—making the Daytona as functional as it is fast.

The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona emerges as a groundbreaking entry in the muscle car world—one that successfully fuses the raw spirit of American performance with the advanced capabilities of electric propulsion. Available in two distinct trims, the Daytona R/T and Daytona Scat Pack, this electrified Charger offers something compelling for every kind of enthusiast, whether you’re looking for a balanced daily driver or a high-performance powerhouse.

The Charger Daytona R/T serves as the ideal introduction to Dodge’s new era of electric muscle. With 456 horsepower standard and up to 496 hp with Power Shot, it delivers exhilarating acceleration without overwhelming the driver. Its 404 lb-ft of torque, 4.7-second 0–60 time, and 308-mile EPA-estimated range make it a versatile option that blends daily drivability with performance credibility. It also benefits from quick charging times, solid handling, and a more approachable curb weight. The R/T’s 18-inch wheels and performance all-season tires strike a smart balance between grip and comfort, while its interior space and cargo capacity ensure practicality isn’t sacrificed for speed.

On the other hand, the Charger Daytona Scat Pack is the pinnacle of electric muscle performance. With 670 horsepower, 627 lb-ft of torque, and a blistering 3.3-second 0–60 mph time, it rivals or even outpaces many traditional V8s. The Scat Pack also features upgraded Brembo brakes, wider 20-inch wheels, and performance tires for improved grip and high-speed control. Though its 241-mile range is slightly reduced due to its performance focus, its recharge times remain competitive, and it more than compensates with sheer, track-ready capability.

Both trims offer the same bold exterior design, modern aerodynamics, generous passenger volume, and surprising cargo space. Features like the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, R-Wing aerodynamic element, and advanced Uconnect system further elevate the Daytona into a uniquely futuristic muscle machine.

Ultimately, the R/T shines as a refined, everyday performance EV, while the Scat Pack is tailored for thrill-seekers who demand maximum power. Together, they represent a thrilling new chapter for Dodge—where electrification doesn’t mean compromise, but rather an evolution of everything muscle cars were meant to be.
